The betting odds reflect a perceived advantage for the Seminoles, marked as significant favorites with a 13-point spread. Despite their superior win-loss record from last season, bettors should be cautious given Florida State’s less than stellar performance against the spread in recent matchups.
Brock Glenn QB vs. Haynes King QB
The Seminoles’ Brock Glenn had a difficult season statistically with a 37.3% pass completion rate, 229 passing yards and no touchdowns. Demonstrated by a low passer rating of 67.1, he struggled with efficiency and decision-making, which may be worrisome as he goes up against the Yellow Jackets.
In contrast, Haynes King performed excellently for Georgia Tech completing 61.6% of his passes for 2842 yards and 27 touchdowns. King’s experience and effectiveness with a passer rating at 142.2 place him as an awesome quarterback that can exploit the defenses of Florida State.
Both quarterbacks bring different aspects to the game and Glenn’s potential improvement in the face of King’s consistency sets up an interesting match-up between the two quarterbacks which will determine how this game will go. Furthermore, King’s ability to come through under pressure in a challenging defense from Seminole combined with Glenn who needs to rebound following the thanksgiving season would be vital.
Seminoles’ Ground and Air Assault
For the Seminoles, the rushing attack could be a significant factor. Lawrance Toafili has proven his capability with 463 rushing yards and four touchdowns last season, providing a reliable ground game option. Tight end Kyle Morlock could also play a crucial role in the passing game, despite not scoring last season, his ability to gain yards after catch is vital.
Yellow Jackets’ Offensive Strategy
Georgia Tech counters with Jamal Haynes, who rushed for over 1000 yards last season. His ability to break through defenses combined with Eric Singleton Jr.’s receiving skills, who amassed 714 yards and six touchdowns, creates a balanced offensive threat that could stretch the Seminoles’ defense.
