Re: Week 10 Early NCAA Lines
GA Tech is number 34 in the country in pass defense and 40 in pass efficiency defense. They have had some problems with teams that can get the ball down the field, VA Tech has not shown the ability to do this despite having a pretty good crop of receivers.
Glennon put up respectable numbers against two 90+ pass defenses (ECU and Duke). This GA Tech D, while flawed, is significantly better than either.
In addition, giving Tenuta generally means he will have an excellent plan. I don't see how VA Tech will move the ball in this game, to win they will have to make a short field regularly. This is just not something I would be willing to bet on happening, especially considering punting is actually a strength for GA Tech.
