Georgia Tech vs Stanford Prediction
I’ve said before the season that I’m not impressed with Stanford, and this team could easily be 0-3 SU on the season. Hawaii completely tripped over its shoes in the last five minutes. Stanford has scored a combined 13 points in its last two games while giving up 80 points. Georgia Tech has issues of its own and needs to find some offense while fixing the run defense concerns. Still, Stanford is a complete mess, and home field only does so much. I’ll lay the points with Georgia Tech.
