#75The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will be highly motivated to ‘win one for the gipper’ in the Quick Lane Bowl against Minnesota on Wednesday. Paul Johnson, in his 11th year at Georgia Tech, will be leading his team for one last time. The 61-year-old said he is stepping down after this season.
The Yellow Jackets bounced back from a 1-3 start this season to win six of their next seven games. They lead the country with 334.9 rushing yards per game. QB’s TaQuon Marshall and Tobias Oliver have combined for 1,703 rushing yards and 23 touchdowns. They average a whopping 5.7 yards per rush as a team.
Minnesota pulled off a big upset win over Wisconsin in the season finale just to get into a bowl. But that’s a banged-up Gophers team that was already bowl eligible and clearly wasn’t motivated. The Gophers are 1-4 on the road this season with all four losses coming by 16 points or more and by an average of 23.5 points per game.
Minnesota’s two best players will be sitting out this bowl game to get ready for the NFL. Leading tackler Blake Cashman is sitting out, as is offensive lineman Donnell Greene. Minnesota doesn’t have many NFL-caliber players, so the loss of these two is huge.
I especially think the Gophers will miss Cashman and his tackling ability against this triple-option offense of Georgia Tech. The Gophers allowed 171 rushing yards per game and 5.2 per carry this season. In their two games against the best rushing teams they faced, they gave up 315 yards on 37 carries to Maryland and a whopping 430 yards on 35 carries to Illinois.
Georgia Tech is 7-0 ATS vs. poor defensive teams that allow 5.9 or more yards per play over the last three seasons. They are beating these teams by 19.6 points per game on average. The Gophers are 1-8 ATS after covering the spread in two of their last three games over the past three seasons. Minnesota is 2-8 ATS in its last 10 games following a win by more than 20 points. The Yellow Jackets are 5-1 ATS in their last six December gamesComment -

#101These bowl games can be games of halves.
I hate when the first part of the game is one sided, especially when it's my team winning.
Hopefully Minny will still cover, G Tech is bound to press.
Or, maybe they really didn't practice.

It’s hard to make a comeback when using the option.
One of my main fears is that Johnson will make a speech at halftime that’ll make the Tech players motivated to win his last game.Comment -

#104Tech offense produces a lot of points so while i agree in general the scores they can hang on teams make me think they more than capable of overcoming a few scores.Comment -
