Sept. 18--TV/radio: 2:30 p.m. Saturday; NBC-5, WLS-AM 890.
Line: Georgia Tech by 21/2.
Records: Georgia Tech 2-0; Notre Dame 2-0.
Last meeting: Georgia Tech won 33-3 on Sept. 1, 1997, in South Bend, Ind.
On the offensive: Will Fuller is fifth nationally with 133 receiving yards per game and tied for second with four TD catches. The loss of dual-threat QB Malik Zaire puts a heavier burden on RB C.J. Prosise. Twelve Yellow Jackets have accounted for the team's 19 TDs.
Getting defensive: Georgia Tech is averaging 67 points, and Notre Dame has struggled recently against triple-option teams (73 points allowed in its last two meetings against Navy). Tech leads the nation in rushing yards (915) and yards per carry (8.47).
The number: 29,957. Rushing yards for Georgia Tech during Paul Johnson's seven-plus seasons as coach, the most in college football.
The talk: DeShone Kizer becomes Notre Dame's third starting QB in the last five games, but a lot of eyes will be on the Irish defense.
Paul Skrbina's pick: Neither Notre Dame's offense nor its defense will be able to keep up with the Yellow Jackets' triple option. Georgia Tech 43, Notre Dame 34.
