let me add this , as the Jackets want to win badly, just don't know about that altitude thing
“There’s nobody who has a lot more to prove in a bowl game specifically than Georgia Tech,” defensive end Izaan Cross said.
The Jackets may have to do it potentially without four starters. First-team All-ACC guard Omoregie Uzzi and B-back David Sims are questionable, coach Paul Johnson said Friday. Uzzi appears to be the less likely of the two to play. Those possible absences would follow cornerback Louis Young and offensive tackle Phil Smith being held out of the game for disciplinary reasons.
In his first comments about Smith — who was sent home earlier in the week for breaking team rules — Johnson said that “there’s a lot of possibilities” regarding further discipline for Smith, who also was suspended for the first two games of the season for breaking team rules.
To beat the Utes, who have won four of their past five regular-season games and nine of their past 10 bowl games, Tech likely will have to free itself of a plethora of albatrosses that have hung around the Jackets’ necks this season.
Utah’s power running game offers a chance for vindication for a Tech defense that often failed to hold up against the run, particularly in crucial moments in season-changing losses to Virginia and Virginia Tech. The Jackets will have to deal with some bruisers, notably All-Pac-12 offensive tackle Tony Bergstrom and center Tevita Stevens, who are 25 and 24 years old, respectively, after having served Mormon missions between high school and college.
