Miami Hurricanes Game Notes
Hurricanes cornerback Jadais Richard, defensive back Damari Brown, offensive lineman Ryan Rodriguez, defensive back Ryan Mack, and defensive back Isaiah Thomas are all questionable for this weekend’s game with undisclosed injuries. Richard is listed as the team’s starting right cornerback on the depth chart. He’s third on the team with 3 passes defended this season.
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Game Notes
Yellow Jackets running back Trelain Maddox (leg), running back Chad Alexander (undisclosed), and starting quarterback Haynes King (upper body) are all listed as questionable to play against the Hurricanes on Saturday. King was named a captain this week, so there appears to be a real chance that he’ll play. King has a total QBR of 84.0 this season. If he can’t go, Georgia Tech will likely use Zach Pyron or Aaron Philo at quarterback this weekend.
Georgia Tech tight ends Jackson Long and Brett Seither will both sit out Saturday’s game against Miami due to knee injuries. Seither had 11 catches for 101 yards and 4 touchdowns in 11 games of action for the Yellow Jackets last year.

Miami vs. Georgia Tech Betting Prediction
Miami’s defense has been fair to middling this season. The Hurricanes are giving up 24.3 points per game this year, which ranks 55th in the country. Furthermore, Miami is 96th in opponent yards per point and 69th in opponent points per play this season. Georgia Tech will likely have Haynes King back for this game. He hasn’t played since injuring his shoulder against North Carolina on October 12th, but there are signs pointing to him suiting up this weekend.
King was having a great season before getting injured. In 7 games of action, he’s thrown for 1,568 yards, 8 touchdowns, and 1 interception. King has also run for 353 yards and 6 touchdowns over that same stretch. Georgia Tech just needs to keep it close to cover, and with the return of Haynes King, I believe they’ll be able to do that. The Yellow Jackets are the pick.
