Count on plenty of running between Georgia Tech, Kentucky

There might be some modern twists here and there, but Saturday’s TaxSlayer Bowl (11 a.m. ET, ESPN) will have a decidedly old-school feel. It’s nearly impossible to match two Power 5 teams that run the ball more often than Georgia Tech (8-4) and Kentucky (7-5).

Just don’t expect those ground attacks to look especially similar.

It should come as no surprise that Georgia Tech’s triple-option offense runs more frequently than any Power 5 offense, keeping the ball on the ground 77.1 percent of the time -- No. 5 among all FBS teams, according to ESPN Stats & Information reesearch.
