The first thing that stands out to me is how few tackles for loss Georgia Tech allows. By not having many negative yardage plays they are able to stick with what they are comfortable, running the ball. Not having many third and long is a big reason why their 3rd down % is 2nd best in the nation. Georgia is one of the best in the nation at getting tackles for loss. If Georgia can get several negative or no gain plays on first and second down it will be a huge advantage for Grantham's defense. If they are unable to do this it will lead to a long day for the Georgia defense.
