Good afternoon, all

Georgia Tech will try to avoid the fourth three-game losing streak of coach Paul Johnson's tenure today at Bobby Dodd Stadium against North Carolina. The Yellow Jackets will also try to secure their ninth consecutive win over the Tar Heels at Grant Field.

I confess I don't have much of a feel at all for how this game will unfold. I think just about anything - a lopsided win by either side or a close win for either - wouldn't surprise me. I think it's important, though, for Tech to get going quickly. How effectively Justin Thomas and the A-backs can maneuver on the perimeter will be telling.

Let's see what happens.
