Notre Dame football vs. Georgia Tech: 3 things to know in Week 12

Jahmyr Gibbs can do it all

When it comes to the Georgia Tech offense, the entire thing runs through one man, and that man is Jahmyr Gibbs, who leads the team in both rushing and receiving this season. Going into this season, we ranked Gibbs as our playmaker to watch for this Yellow Jackets team, and he has not disappointed, putting together a special season as a sophomore.

After a strong showing in the opening game for the Yellow Jackets, Gibbs struggled a bit but has come on since an October 23 matchup against Virginia. He has rushed for more than 90 yards in three of his last four games, including back-to-back 100-plus yard efforts against both Virginia and Virginia Tech.

In addition, he has three games this season with 70 or more receiving yards.

Notre Dame football: Keys to victory against Georgia Tech in Week 12

The Notre Dame football team heads home for the final time to take on Georgia Tech. Here are three keys to victory for the Irish.

Georgia Tech can be explosive on offense at times, as evident by the fact that they have scored 30 or more points on six occasions this season. They are going to try and get Gibbs going early and often in this one, but in the end, Freeman’s game plan should spy him, minimizing the damage.
