Tar Heels Challenge Yellow Jackets to Reverse Home Game Losing Streak

Georgia Tech will host the North Carolina Tar Heels on Saturday night. North Carolina was defeated by Virginia, and they are likely to be inspired to put up a strong performance against the Yellow Jackets. Georgia Tech is known for their vulnerability to rushing attacks, making North Carolina a dangerous adversary in this game. Georgia Tech's offensive performance is largely based on the performance of their quarterback; if the North Carolina defense can keep him in check, it could be a successful night for the Tar Heels. Georgia Tech has gone 0-3 against the spread during home games this season; North Carolina may be the team to break that streak.
