GT Run Wall Readies for Cavs

The giant UVA O-Line versus the talented speedy GT line:

The Cavaliers "have a massive offensive line and those guys can all move, so we're definitely going to have our work cut out for us this week," Georgia Tech defensive lineman Joe Anoai said.

The Yellow Jackets' defensive line may just be the match for Virginia's rush attack. Georgia Tech's run defense is ranked 14th in the nation and second in the ACC, allowing 107.0 yards per game, nine total touchdowns and 3.22 yards per carry average.

"Like most of these top run defenses, they do everything they can to crowd the point of attack," Virginia Coach Al Groh said. "They're going to get as many people to that area as they can. It looks like a New York City subway station. That's been the case on many other occasions too. Each team's got their own little way in getting a lot of guys there, but they all really all have the same motive in what they're trying to do on defense."
