To those giving GT respect, don't do that.

Let us see what GT has done this year.
A very slow start against a bad Wofford team. It was a game going into the fourth quarter.
A win over Tulane. Who cares. Almost got out-gained (+32 yards).
A squeaker against Georgia Southern. This is hilariously bad.
A win at a mediocre VT who played an awful, heavily penalized, 3-turnover game and still almost won. The same VT that lost to ECU the week before.
A win against a Miami team that really isn't good at anything
They have yet to see a top 60 offense. They have been pedestrian on D against some offensively inept teams. Their overall level of athleticism is in the lower half in the conference.
All that said, by the time we play them, they could only have one loss (UVA will probably beat them). Assuming they only have one loss, I still can't take this GT team seriously.
I know it's early, but I'm going to go on ahead and pull a James Davis and guarantee a win @ GT. We are the worst possible matchup for them on their schedule. Our DL is brutal, our LBs do what they are supposed to. They aren't going to have any kind of sustained success against our secondary.
On offense, we are going to drag them around the field. If our running game continues to show signs of life, this is going to end up a laugher. But worst case, we come out with a W.
Take it to the bank. GT goes down.

I said after the FSU game that Louisville was the best remaining team on our schedule, and after this weekend's events I'm sticking by that.

Louisville, BC,and CootU are all more worrisome

If we can get through Louisville and BC unscathed, I like our chances the rest of the year.
BC always plays us tough, and Louisville is so much of an unknown that I'm hesitant to talk much trash.
GT, on the other hand... I know how they work, I know what they've got going on over there this year (I live in Atlanta), and I know how deceptive last year's score was. We were in complete control, and I think we do the same thing this year.

Saturday. They play NC State at the same time as our game. I can't think of a better preview if we engineered it this week.

I wouldn't be shocked if they beat the Dookies

This year's Duke isn't as good as last. No real passing game, lower talent level.
Beat Duke at home? Who cares?

Our DL is going to once again eat their lunch

for the tiple option to work their FB dive play must pick up around 3-4 yards a pop. If it's shut down then it's open season on the QB as he must take the entire game on himself with pitches and QB keeps. Just like last year Jarett and our DTs will crush their interior and stop the dive. Once that happens their Qb is going to find the ground early and often.

Agreed. It's going to be worse than last year.

The pass won't be there for them at all, either. The secondary has exceeded expectations so far.

Be more worried about the other more capable teams.

to Grant Field for since 1968......many strange events. I certainly hope you are correct. I just think we can wait until they are up next.

GT will win their remaining games except Clemson & FSU...

FSU being the ACC Championship.
GT is deadly on third downs.

I want GT to get lots of respect and to be viewed as "world beaters" and "elite". Then, when we stomp their arses it will look even better for us. They (GT) is not up to the task when it comes to taking us on.

GT will struggle with teams having legitimate passing games

The only two teams on their schedule who have them are us and FSU.
