The big question for Georgia Tech heading into this weekend is going to be the quarterback spot. With Zach Pyron being injured in the second half of the game against Miami and Jeff Sims only being available in emergency situations (still), it might be Zach Gibson getting the start for the Yellow Jackets. 

Gibson came into the game yesterday when Pyron was injured and it did not go well. He did lead one touchdown drive, but the score was already 35-7 and well out of hand. He threw two interceptions and held the bar too long and let the defense get pressure.

North Carolina is 9-1 and has a Heisman Candidate at quarterback in Drake Maye. Maye has been one of the best players in the country this season and will look to further cement his case for the Heisman Trophy on Saturday against Georgia Tech. 

Georgia Tech did pull a big upset over North Carolina a year ago, winning 45-22, but this is a taller task if you ask me. Tech was fully healthy for the game last year and North Carolina is a much better team than they were a year ago with a better quarterback. 

Georgia Tech and North Carolina will kick off at 5:30 on Saturday and will be televised on ESPN2.
