Georgia football: 6 bold predictions for the Georgia Tech game

Georgia football sacks Tech QB Jeff Sims at least four times

Georgia football averages 3.45 sacks a game this season, and Saturday, the Dawgs will look to keep that pace.

The Dawgs need to get in Tech quarterback Jeff Sims’ face and remind him who they are because this unit is far more lethal than the 2019 defense he faced. It’ll be considered a good day if this squad can put Sims on his back at least four times.

This team has 38 sacks on the season, which is No. 4 in the country and No. 1 in the SEC.

Georgia has a great pass rush, and they need to push the throttle down this week. If the Dawgs can put Sims on his rear end a few times, it’ll make gaining yards harder. Georgia needs to shut this offense down and do it quickly.

Tech’s offense isn’t that high-powered as they average 180.2 yards rushing, 221.1 passing, and 401.3 total yards a game.

However, this Tech team hasn’t seen a monster like Georgia, and while that sounds like a broken record at this point in the season, it’s true and something every opponent should consider. Each week Georgia bullies another offense and diminishes their offensive production.

Last week they gave up a season-low 126 total yards to Charleston Southern, and while the Yellow Jackets could likely get more than that, the Dawgs would love to suffocate them that much.

One of the easiest ways to suffocate them would be by earning sacks and keeping them in long-yardage situations. Georgia can defend this team regardless of whether it’s 3rd and 22 or 3rd and 1 — the Dawgs will get the stop.
