Key Matchup: Tevin Washington vs. Utes Defense

Washington is the biggest playmaker the Yellow Jackets have, and the dual-threat quarterback will be the key to the team’s success in their bowl appearance. If Washington gets loose, expect a big day for the Yellow Jackets.

Prediction: Georgia Tech 42, Utah 30
