What a Start for Georgia Tech


It has been quite a start for Georgia Tech and they come into this game with a 3-0 record overall. Two games ago against Gardner-Webb, Georgia Tech was able to secure the 59-12 victory, but the last game was even more impressive. Georgia Tech hosted the Clemson Tigers, and were able to knock them off 24-21. Quarterback Haynes King completed 20 of his 27 passes for 211 yards. King finished with 25 carries for 103 yards and a touchdown. Eric Rivers finished with three catches for 72 yards. King is playing some really good football right now, and they are going to need him to continue that success. 

Georgia Tech is averaging 36.67 points while their defense is giving up 17.67 points per game. The offense is ranked 45th in all of college football, and the defense will need to be what they lean on to find success. 

Why Georgia Tech Will Beat Temple

  • Temple has lost each of its last nine games against AP-ranked teams.
  • Georgia Tech has won each of its last seven games at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field.
  • Temple has failed to cover the spread in each of its last seven games as an underdog against AP-ranked teams.
  • Georgia Tech has covered the spread in each of its last four games against non-conference opponents at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field.
  • Georgia Tech has won the first half in three of its last four games against non-conference opponents.

What Temple Offense Will Show Up?


The big question for Temple is what offense is going to show up in this game. Two games ago against Howard, Temple scored 55 points, and that was enough for the 48 point victory. In the last game agianst Oklahoma, Temple’s offense managed a grand total of three points, while the defense gave up 42 points. At halftime, they were down 28-3 and although the defense got a little better, the offense didn’t and that led to the defeat. Evan Simon was under center and he had his struggles. He completed 13 of his 25 passes for 75 yards. Jay Ducker was the top rusher finishing with seven carries for 24. 

Temple on the season is averaging 33.3 points per game while the defense is 19.67 points per game. The two games they ran up the score was against much lesser competition, while the game they struggled was against much stronger competition. They are probably somewhere in the middle, but the offense is going to need to be a whole lot better here to find success. 

Why Temple Will Beat Georgia Tech

Georgia Tech has lost four of its last five games against opponents from the American Conference.
Georgia Tech has failed to cover the spread in four of its last five games against opponents from the American Conference.
Temple has covered the spread in three of its last four games.

Temple vs Georgia Tech Prediction


Is Temple better than they showed against Oklahoma in the last game? Yeah I am pretty confident that they are, but I don’t think they are that much better. Georgia Tech’s defense stepped up in the last game against Clemson to come out ahead, and the defense is going to be even better here. Temple scored three points in the last game, and they won’t give above 10 here. Haynes King is going to dominate here under center, and Temple isn’t going to be keeping up. Georgia Tech will score at least 40 points here, and they will come out ahead. Back Georgia Tech to win this game and cover the spread.
