The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (3-1) seek to upset the undefeated 19th-ranked Louisville Cardinals (2-0) on Saturday, September 21, at 3:30 PM ET at L&N Federal Credit Union Stadium in Louisville, Kentucky. The Cardinals are favored for this ACC college football betting opportunity with a point spread at -10.0 (-110).
The Yellow Jackets have been on the map since their opening week of action, when they defeated the (now train wreck) 10th-ranked Florida State Seminoles. Their most recent battle was a 59-7 rout over the VMI Keydets.
Haynes King recorded three touchdowns and had 275 yards, all while competing in just the first half. Their backup quarterback, Zach Pyron, also did well with a few short runs in the end zone to add additional points on the board.
With over 24 minutes of possession, the Yellow Jackets put up 572 yards and 30 first downs. They held the Keydets to just 104 yards, five first downs, and caused a turnover.
Over four games so far, they are averaging 36.5 points and allowing their opponents to score 17.8 points. This is a comfortable spread, making them dangerous coming into this matchup.
The Cardinals have steamrolled over their first two opponents and will now get a quality test. They defeated the Jacksonville State Gamecocks 49-14 in their latest battle.
Tyler Shough was impressive with 349 yards on 21 of 33 completions and had two touchdowns. Maurice Turner was great in moving their run game along, with 12 carries for 60 yards and a touchdown.
The Cardinals amassed 610 total yards and had 29 first downs. Their defense allowed 290 yards, 19 first downs, and a turnover. In addition, the Cardinals held the ball for a bit over 36 minutes, which makes it difficult for opponents to score if they have the ball for an extended period of time.
They are averaging 55.5 points per game and allowing their opponents to get 7.0 in return. This will not last much longer once ACC action gets deeper underway. Against the Yellow Jackets, this will likely not stand either.
