500♦ GEORGIA TECH YELLOW JACKETS - The BCS Bowl nobody is talking about, and why would anyone? The less-regarded ACC champion Yellow Jackets take on the Big 10-runner up Hawkeyes, and there doesn't seem to be any glitz, any glamour.

But if you're looking for excitement and fireworks, keep your eye on Georgia Tech quarterback Josh Nesbitt, a theat both on the ground and through the air.

Only six quarterbacks in the nation have a higher passer efficiency rating and only four who have run for more yards than the 6-1, 220-pound All-Atlantic Coast Conference first-team choice.

Yet I still have fellow-handicappers and sports fans who reply to me with: "Who" whenever I say his name. He's virtually unknown unless you follow this religiously.

In front of a nationally televised audience, the world will have a chance to appreciate what he is all about. He loves to run, he loves to throw, he leads by example, he directs a high-powered offense the way it should be ... the guy is phenomenal.

And with that G-Tech option attack destined to get its yards, it'll be up to Iowa to limit the big plays. I trust the Jackets will be consistent in their production, but one slip up by the Hawkeyes, one wrong move, and BANG! The Jackets sting that quick.

Tech ranked second in the nation in rushing, eclipsing the 200-yard plateau on the ground in all but one game this season thanks to running back Jonathan Dwyer and Nesbitt.

On the other side of the ball, G-Tech has a stellar front line that is going to fill the A and B gaps effectively, while putting pressure on quarterback Ricky Stanzi, who is back for Iowa after missing the past three games with an ankle injury.

Stanzi hasn't played since a Nov. 7 loss to Northwestern, and with the way the Jackets bring it, that ankle will determine how close Iowa stays in this one. Stanzi has been known to flirt with disaster, committing costly mistakes with his vertical game. He struggled through a five-interception effort against Indiana and two-pick games against Iowa State, Penn State and Arkansas State.

This is an entirely different animal and this is the Orange Bowl.

I smell destruction tonight!

Georgia Tech rolls!
