00:00
The line is 11 and a half in favor of a top 10 team in the preseason, Florida State, but
00:08
just about a week and a half ago, that number closer to two touchdowns, 13 and a hook in
00:14
favor of FSU.
00:16
You have monitored this movement all off season and in the last few weeks, what do you think
00:21
has led to the market movement as people start to believe in the Yellow Jackets?
00:24
I think it's a couple of factors.
00:25
We talked about how dominant Georgia Tech was in terms of against the numbers.
00:30
They were 7-2 against ACC opponents.
00:33
They played Ole Miss very tough early, played Louisville as well with their quarterback,
00:37
Haynes King, that comes back, 27 touchdowns, 16 interceptions.
00:41
This is an offense in Georgia Tech that is very balanced.
00:44
They can run it for over 200 and throw it as well, but Haynes King, you look at his
00:48
development as well, he's an experienced guy.
00:51
If he breaks contain in terms of this matchup, potentially could put some pressure on Florida
00:56
State, and on the flip side, you have a Florida State quarterback and DJU back in the conference
01:01
coming over from Oregon State.
01:03
There's some inexperience there, and that's why I think you're seeing some market fluctuation
01:07
right now.
01:08
Yeah, I think the DJU thing is fascinating.
01:10
I know we're going to talk about this game as well as the ACC.
01:14
I know we know DJU, and hey, you'll always have that game against Notre Dame where it
01:19
looked like he was going to be incredible.
01:21
ACC opponent Notre Dame.
01:22
But he's not that good.
01:25
I mean, I know last year the yards per attempt were solid, but I think it was completing
01:29
less than 60% of his passes at Oregon State.
01:32
When you consider that run-first offense and how easy things were supposed to at least
01:36
be for him, it doesn't inspire a lot of confidence for me heading into this game.
01:41
I wonder if some of the movement is the offensive coordinator for FSU is suspended for this
01:46
game with recruiting violations.
01:49
I don't know what's going on.
01:50
You can handle that.
01:51
It seems like a bunch of people are getting randomly suspended for recruiting violations.
01:54
We're paying people.
01:55
What do we do?
01:56
Just let people do what they want, all right?
01:57
It's all good.
01:58
But I don't think that helps you get off the ground running, not having your offensive
02:01
coordinator there who you need to build that rapport with coming into this season.
02:05
Georgia Tech's defense last year was putrid.
02:07
It was abysmal.
02:09
Any team that was near-ranked, they gave up about 40 points.
02:13
They put a lot of resources into that coaching room, trying to get the defensive side of
02:17
that football to, again, not horrendous.
02:21
I'm looking towards the under in this football game.
02:23
This thing's climbed up to 55 and a half.
02:25
I think we've got two teams that are going to prefer to run the football in this game.
02:28
That's what makes Georgia Tech so dangerous, and I'm playing this one under 55 and a half.
