Support for the Jackets has remained strong over the last four games, with an overwhelming majority predicting wins. Gets easier after every one, right?

Georgia Tech meets Vanderbilt for the first time since 2003. The Jackets haven't lost in Nashville since 1941, going 10-0-1.

The Jackets have one of the nation's best run attacks, piling on 2,333 rushing yards, and will face a Vanderbilt squad that is giving up 164.4 yards per game on the ground.

The Yellow Jackets rolled up 362 yards against the Cavaliers last week, with Jonathan Dwyer leading the team with 125 yards on 25 carries.

The Commodores are on a four-game losing streak and allowed a season-high 431 yards in last week's 14-10 loss to South Carolina. Vanderbilt's freshman running back Warren Norman, a Stone Mountain-native, has 533 yards and three touchdowns on the season.

A victory at Vanderbilt would give Tech four road wins in a season for the first time in nearly a decade. No matter what, the Jackets are bowl-eligible, and have won at least seven games, for the 13th consecutive season.
