On the defensive side of the ball, linebacker Brandon George has been making his presence known. With four tackles and two tackles for loss in the previous three games, George has proven to be a formidable opponent for any offense.


As for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, running back Jahmyr Gibbs has been leading the charge. With 150 rushing yards and one touchdown in the past three games, Gibbs has shown his ability to break through defenses and find open lanes.


Quarterback Jordan Yates has also made significant contributions to the team's success. In the previous three games, Yates threw for 478 yards with a completion percentage of 63 percent. He has thrown two touchdowns and zero interceptions, displaying his accuracy and decision-making skills.


While both teams have standout players who can make a difference on game day, it will ultimately come down to which team can execute their game plan effectively. The Panthers' strong offensive performance, led by Kenny Pickett, could give them an edge over the Yellow Jackets.


However, the Yellow Jackets have shown resilience and determination in their previous games, and they will undoubtedly put up a fight. With players like Jahmyr Gibbs and Jordan Yates leading the charge, the Yellow Jackets have the potential to make some big plays and keep the game competitive.
