Three Pittsburgh Players The Yellow Jackets Must Slow Down If They Want To Pull Off An Upset

Georgia Tech faces a tough challenge this weekend as they look to reverse a recent trend against Pittsburgh. The Panthers' offense is led by highly effective wide receiver Cataurus Hicks, who is averaging 21 yards per reception and has recorded several high-scoring games, including a strong performance against Miami.

Meanwhile, running back Damon Ferguson Jr. remains a question mark for Saturday's matchup, his availability is still being assessed.

If he plays, he will be a problem for Georgia Tech's run defense, which currently ranks 131st nationally with 210.4 yards allowed per game. Additionally, defensive back Cruce Brookins is playing at a career-high level, having recorded high tackle counts in recent games against UNC, Boston College, and UNC.

Defensive coordinator Speakman says the Yellow Jackets' defense must communicate and control the line of scrimmage to stop Ferguson Jr. and Hicks Hicks.
