Game Analysis
Lean – Syracuse (+6.5) 27 GEORGIA TECH 28
If 6-4, 235 pound Syracuse TE Dan Vallari, a former Michigan quarterback, can bulldoze a good Pitt run defense for 154 yards on 17 carries running the wildcat (should call it the wildbull with Vallari) then he should run rampant over a soft Georgia Tech defensive front that has given up an average of 234 rushing yards at 6.0 yards per rushing play this season (against FBS teams).
Syracuse has a good enough defense (0.6 yards per play better than average) to slow down a very good Yellow Jackets’ offense (+0.9 yppl) and Villari and QB Garrett Shrader (97 run yards on 14 runs last week) should keep this game close.
