Notre Dame Fighting Irish by 12
Pour yourself a cup of Joe and let's dive into this face-off: the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
Notre Dame is on a hot streak with 5 straight wins, serving up stacks of pancakes in the form of 49 points against Stanford and 31 against Louisville. Their quarterback duo Riley Leonard and Steve Angeli have been lights out, with Leonard’s stats from the last month boasting a passing efficiency of 157.1 and six touchdowns, while Angeli appears to be for special occasions with just two touchdowns but a higher passing efficiency of 162.1.
Their offensive machinery is powered by the likes of Jeremiyah Love, whose stats in the last month show him chalking up 335 total yards and five touchdowns, and Jadarian Price, who clocked in 196 total yards and two touchdowns. On defense, you've got the diligent Jordan Clark leading the team with 13 tackles, closely followed by an intimidatingly-named Rylie Mills who made 12 tackles and 2 sacks.
On the other coast, we've got Georgia Tech with a 5-2 record so far this season but their recent 41-34 victory over North Carolina shows they pack a punch or two. Haynes King will be the one to watch with his impressive last month stats flaunting 151.9 passing efficiency and five touchdowns off 881 passing yards.
Looking at their offensive stat lines, we got Jamal Haynes taking the spotlight with 382 total yards and four touchdowns. Malik Rutherford is also making a name for himself with 299 total yards and a touchdown. Giving their defense some love, keep an eye out for Kyle Efford who's got 14 tackles and half a sack to his name and Jordan Van Den Berg with one sack among his eight tackles in the last month.
After all said and done, Notre Dame just seems to have it together a bit more offensively and defensively, not to mention the burning momentum at their backs.
