The Yellow Jackets are off a phenomenal performance against North Carolina and I expect another strong effort here. What was most impressive about the win over UNC was the defensive dominance. Eight QB sacks, 13 tackles for loss against a very high powered attack. They face another one here as Pitt can move the ball, but this Tech outfit is playing with extreme confidence now. The win over the Tar Heels was actually even more lopsided than the final score indicated. I haven&#8217;t even mentioned the Tech offense yet, but I should as Jeff Sims is now healthy and he was spectacular against UNC. Sims finished the day with the 4th highest QB rating on the entire board and he figures to have more success against a Pittsburgh defense that hasn&#8217;t been great so far. The Panthers running game did very little against Tennessee and Western Michigan, and it sure looks as though QB Kenny Pickett is going to have to put together a great game for Pitt to win here. There&#8217;s always the chance the hosts could bounce off what was close to a perfect game. But I&#8217;m of the opinion this is a team that&#8217;s getting better each week and I like Georgia Tech to win this game. Getting more than a FG with the Yellow Jackets is a take for me.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">This week&#8217;s free play college football vid is here.
