Five Things

[GlennW]

Fourth-ranked Florida State is just one win away from a third straight ACC title and perhaps one victory from a spot in college football’s first playoff. The Seminoles will put their 28-game winning streak on the line Saturday in Charlotte against the team it began with — Georgia Tech.

The 2014 ACC Championship contest will be a match-up of the ACC’s top two scoring teams. The Yellow Jackets sit just outside the top 10 at #11 following an impressive rivalry victory over Georgia this past Saturday. To break down the contest, the Noled Out staff brings you, “Five Things”:

Good article, here's one very interesting quote that could be a bit telling.

"The X-factor in this game will be the field. How rain-soaked will it be? Rain games favor offenses that are mostly ground based, as Boston College and Georgia Tech are. It will slow down FSU’s speed. A player to watch for is FSU linebacker Terrance Smith. Smith is not healthy, and struggles moving laterally. Tech’s option will be sure to try and exploit that and will test the edge against this defense, and right up the gut against Nile Lawrence-Stample’s backup-turned-starter Derrick Mitchell."

Is the field turf?

As with last week, turnovers and 3&outs will be the key to the game. Whoever gets the most wins.

I liked the article and it matched what I expect. Thanks for the link.

He's their Mike linebacker... They are about to get the edge pounded.
