EverBank Field, Jacksonville, Fla.
Average Line: Georgia Tech, -3.5
Paul Johnson’s triple option attack is difficult to handle, it takes a very discipline defense to shut the Yellow Jackets down. I’m not sure that Kentucky is quite there yet. I think Kentucky is the more talented team, however, the triple option scheme is built to compensate for a talent gap.
Score prediction: 34-27 Georgia Tech
