Inside the Numbers: Clemson vs Georgia Tech
This week we take a look at Georgia Tech. Under Paul Johnson, the Yellow Jackets have been one of the more prolific rushing teams in college football.
It's interesting to note that Clemson and Georgia Tech are just 0.2 yards per game from having the same total yard average on offense. However, dive in a little closer and the two teams are entirely different.
Clemson has one of the most balanced offenses in the game rushing for 219.6 yards per game and passing for 229.4. That's less than ten yards difference between the two.
Georgia Tech is quite the opposite. The Yellow Jackets are second in rushing yards per game (372.8) and second-to-last in passing yards per game (76.0) this season.
Army - Navy:
There is only one team in college football with more rushing yards than Georgia Tech (Navy), and there is just one team with fewer yards passing (Army).
