Emerald Bowl

Where: SBC Park, San Francisco.

Time: 1:30 p.m. TV: ESPN.

Key stats: Georgia Tech (7-4) is 10th nationally in total defense at 296.4 yards per game. Utah (6-5) is 12th nationally in total offense at 466.0 yards per game.

The buzz: Utah’s defense has been porous at times, and if Tech runs effectively (say, 150 yards), it’s going to win. Plus, Utah hasn’t played a team with this much speed on defense.
