The X-Factor in this game, to me, could be Georgia Tech's passing attack. uga is big and talented enough up front to present some problems for Georgia Tech's offensive line, and it's going to be crucial for the Jackets to have another means of gaining yards while keeping the uga secondary honest. At first glance, the georgia defense is an intimidating 7th nationally, giving up 167 yards per game passing. That's good, until you start considering who they've played. When it comes to pure passing yards per game, they've played #22 South Carolina, #44 Clemson (and that was before Watson was playing), #53 Tennessee, #54 Kentucky, #83 Auburn, #95 Arkansas, #100 Troy, #106 Missouri, #107 Florida, #108 Vanderbilt. In other words, their stats are a little inflated by the fact that they've got more opponents in the bottom quarter of the country in passing yards per game than they do in the entire top half of the country. This uga secondary can be beaten with the passing game, and Georgia Tech's offensive success may rely on doing just that at times.
