7. Which Low-Scoring Offense Will Have The Better Game?

This probably isn’t going to be a game where the score is going to get into the 70’s or 80’s, but I guess we never really know. Louisville and Georgia Tech own the second to last and last ranking in the ACC, in offensive field goal percentage.

These two teams win primarily because of their defense, but Louisville much more than Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets are actually giving up more points right now per game than they score.

With that being said, it’s not like Georgia Tech is dominating any opponent that they play, which is why it’s still extremely surprising that they beat North Carolina.

Expect the Cardinals to come in and have the better game shooting on Saturday.
