The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets have flown under the radar for most of the season despite a dominant running game that has accounted for 333.6 yards per game on the ground, and nearly 469 yards of total offense.

The Jackets are led by quarterback Justin Thomas, who in addition to 1,460 yards through the air and 16 touchdowns, led Georgia Tech in rushing with 861 yards and another five scores. He shares the load of the rushing attack with running back  Zach Laskey, who led the team with eight touchdowns.

Their ground attack by committee approach is the opposite of Mississippi State's method of attack this season. The Bulldogs were spearheaded by Heisman Trophy candidate Dak Prescott, whose candidacy fell by the wayside at the end of the year following back-to-back losses to Alabama and Ole Miss, two Top 10 teams.

Prescott barely missed the 3,000-yard mark in passing yards, finishing the regular season with 2,996 and 24 touchdowns against 10 interceptions. He also finished the 2014 campaign with 936 yards on the ground and 13 scores.

Georgia Tech may also find it to be tough sledding rushing against the Bulldogs, who allow just 126.5 yards on the ground. The Bulldogs spent four weeks of the year as the top team in the nation in the best conference in college football, so a Georgia Tech upset would do wonders for the ACC moving forward.
