1. Notre Dame won’t give up a single touchdown

Notre Dame has one of the best defenses in college football this season, allowing under 300 yards per game as well as just 9.8 points per contest.

Georgia Tech has been trending down in recent weeks, scoring just 34 points over its last two games against Clemson and Boston College after dropping 46 versus Louisville. Jeff Sims has been struggling recently as the offense is looking for answers.

That’s a recipe for disaster against the Fighting Irish.

Notre Dame’s defense can get after it and make opposing quarterbacks uncomfortable in the pocket all afternoon. On top of that, the Irish give up less than 100 rushing yards per game. Georgia Tech is going to have a nightmare of an afternoon on offense and the Yellow Jackets won’t reach the end zone.

This will be another big game for the Irish and a second straight blowout leading into the Clemson game next weekend.
