Here’s how to stream the ACC Coastal clash between the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (5-3,2-3 ACC) and the No. 21 North Carolina Tar Heels (6-2, 4-1).

Georgia Tech and Paul Johnson’s option offense gave North Carolina fits for years. However, the Tar Heels appear to have figured out a way to at least outscore the Yellow Jackets’ offense from another time. Throw in a bye week to prepare and Carolina has a good shot to give its alumni an enjoyable homecoming weekend.

Georgia Tech beat the Tar Heels for five consecutive years including a record setting 68-50 win in 2012. The domination even extended before the Paul Johnson era with the Yellow Jackets winning eight of nine. That run ended in 2014, the last time the two teams met in Chapel Hill. Quarterback Marquise Williams led a 12-play, 75-yard drive capped by a two-yard touchdown run by then sophomore, TJ Logan, with 11 seconds left for the 48-43 win. Last year, Carolina built on that success with a 38-31 win in Atlanta.

Georgia Tech does have a path to victory, and it’s simply executing their favored style of play at a high level. The Yellow Jackets’ run-heavy style is a natural weakness for this iteration of Gene Chizik’s defense. The Tar Heel defense is giving up over 200 yards on the ground per game — 95th in FBS. The run game is also designed to chew clock, another must against the quick tempo offense led by quarterback Mitch Trubisky, who is currently vaulting up draft boards.
