1. Clelin Ferrell gets another sack

Ferrell has quietly been one of the best defensive players in the country this year but isn’t being considered for a potential Heisman trophy run like his counterparts Nick Bosa and Ed Oliver.

Ferrell was dominant against Georgia Southern. He finished the game with seven tackles and two sacks. He was the best player on the field for the Tigers and there was no answer for him from the Georgia Southern offensive line,

The Yellow Jackets don’t throw the ball a ton in the triple option offense, so it will be hard for Ferrell to find a lot of opportunities to pick up a sack, but he will still make it happen.

One way Georgia Tech can slow down Ferrell’s aggressive style is by running the option plays right at him. This could neutralize him on key downs and help the Yellow Jackets push the ball down the field.

If they can’t block him early the Clelin Ferrell should put up another dominant performance.
