This season has been an uphill battle for the Jackets, who have played to just a 2-3 record in the ACC and a 4-4 record overall, but Saturday offers an opportunity to build momentum down the stretch — Tech looks to have a real chance at a bowl-game bid after opening the season 1-3, possible with how explosive the offense has locked at times. Replicating their zero-turnover performance from last week will almost guarantee a win.
