#40 - Boston College vs Georgia Tech
![]() | Boston College vs Georgia Tech September 6, 2008 Alumni Stadium Chestnut Hill, MA | ![]() |
Why?: Another morbid curiosity game. How will Johnson's triple option work with BCS talent? I don't know, but considering their first game is against D-1AA Jacksonville State (and Ryan Perriloux!), this will be the first chance anyone has to see it run against a BCS team.
Who do I think will win?: Boston College. There's no way that Tech, which returns only 9 starters total and will have to adapt to a completely new offense, will have things clicking well enough in week two to get it done. In fact, if they make it to a bowl, I'll be shocked.
Who do I hope will win?: I'll be rooting for the Yellow Jackets in this one, if only because they are a southern (and at least former SEC) team.

Ah...
I wouldn’t be shocked to see GT pull off the upset. All BC had last year offensively was Ryan, and the defense was nothing special. I just don’t see where they will be very good.
Georgia Tech probably won’t be either, mind you, but I could very well see them doing fairly well and getting the win. I don’t see where either team will be clearly good enough to ensure victory from the outset.

BC
Would you stop it with BC already? Just kidding, how do you think MS State will fare against GT?
It all depends...
...on how well the defense plays without Ellis Johnson. They (and he) were the biggest reasons State got to a bowl last year, and unless they continue to be a dominating unit, it’s pretty much a toss up.
