Boston College @ Georgia Tech

Viewer Rating: 4* Game of the Week in the ACC. There is a very good chance that this could be a preview of the ACC title game later this year. Both teams come in 2-0 and have looked the best so far in the league, with the possible addition of Clemson. Granted, neither team has faced a worthy foe to date, with BC taking care of conference opponents in Wake and NC State, and the Ramblin’ Wreck disposing of Notre Dame and Samford.

Why You Should Watch:If you’re watching this game by kickoff, then that’s a good sign for Alabama……..I think. You’ll have a choice of this game, Alabama-Arkansas, or Louisville-Kentucky on Saturday night. It’ll feel like an all-you-care-to-eat buffet.

 

But seriously, this should be one heck of a game. Boston College is just a solid, solid team, with no really glaring weaknesses to speak of. Georgia Tech has the best running back in the league not wearing orange and purple, and ask the Genius, Charlie Weis, about Tech’s defense.

Who You Should Watch: BC senior signal-caller Matt Ryan doesn’t make many mistakes and has some weapons at his disposal in Callendar and Challenger. Ryan should be hearing his name fairly on the first day of the NFL draft. The Yellow Jackets’ go-to guy is running back Tashard Choice. He has over 300 yards in about a game and a half. Taylor Bennett is basically being asked to be the anti-Reggie Ball, and do things like not throw the ball away on fourth down. Also watch all the different looks and packages GT defensive coordinator Jon Tenuda throws at Ryan.

Who Will Win: This one is a tough call, but I’m going with the Yellow Jackets as Tashard Choice makes his case for ACC Player of the Year honors.

Against the Spread: I think it’s gonna be a real close contest, so I like BC and the 7 points they’re getting.
