Clemson Football starts ACC play against a Georgia Tech team that has struggled on defense. Will the Tigers overlook the Yellow Jackets and fall victim to a potential upset?

Outside of a tough test against Texas A&M on the road in Week 2, Clemson hasn’t been tested by any of their opponents. The Tigers are averaging 38 points per game and will look to improve those numbers against Georgia Tech.

They also boast one of the best defensive lines in the country, led by Clelin Ferrell, who is tied for the national lead in sacks (five).

The Yellow Jackets have not looked good at all in the early part of the season. After beating up on Alcorn State in a 41-0 win, Georgia Tech was beaten pretty easily by South Florida 49-38 and dropped their conference opener to Pitt 24-19.

Can the Georgia Tech defense do enough to slow down the Tigers offense, with both dynamic quarterbacks playing well?

Here are some of the bold predictions for the Clemson Tigers Week 4 matchup against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
