Georgia Tech ranks 75th nationally and 12th in the ACC against the run, allowing 169.6 yards per game. That’s not exactly what head coach Paul Johnson wants to hear heading into Saturday’s showdown with No. 6 Clemson in Death Valley.
Why? The Tigers now have a running game.
Thanks to sophomore running back Wayne Gallman, and an offensive line that has shown significant improvement from last year, Clemson has rushed for more than 200 yards in each of its victories over Louisville and Notre Dame.
In fact, the Tigers have rushed for more the 200 yards in three of their four games, and are averaging 194.
