The U did not commit a turnover in their upset win over Wisconsin; Georgia Tech is No. 12 nationally in turnover margin (plus-9). Minnesota has lost 11 fumbles (104th in nation); the Yellow Jackets have recovered 13 (third ). The U’s go-to receiver Tyler Johnsonis 14 yards from breaking Ron Johnson’s single-season receiving record (1,125) and a touchdown from tying Johnson and Omar Douglas’s one-year bests of 11. The U leads the Big Ten, and is 16th in the nation, averaging 14.11 yards per completion. Running back Mohamed Ibrahim is 64 yards away from eclipsing 1,000 for the season. He’s currently third on the U’s freshman rushing leaderboard. With Donnell Greene (knee) out, Blaise Andries will move from guard to tackle, and true freshman Curtis Dunlap will make his first career start at right guard. Defensive end Anree Saint-Amour leads Georgia tech with 11 tackles for lost yards and four sacks. EDGE: Gophers ..
Prediction:Georgia Tech players griped about how a 5-3 finish in the Atlantic Coast Conference somehow got them in the low-rung Quick Lane Bowl. If that bitterness remains, they could send out Paul Johnson with a loss in his last game in Atlanta. But they should be able to execute in the option and live up to their favored status. Georgia Tech, 27-24
