Tech's Nesbitt tough to decipher.

No way Georgia Tech should stumble Saturday to Wake Forest.

Sure, it's a league game against a team that heisted the ACC title in 2006 (beating Tech, by the way). But Wake is back to normal now at 4-5, with no wins on the road.

And, quarterback Riley Skinner is coping with a concussion. The Deacs' docs say he'll probably play. But we know Tim Tebow, and he ain't no Tim Tebow. Skinner will be wheeling and dealing less than he'll be reeling.

Wake lacks the speed to contain Josh Nesbitt's high-octane offense. The Deacs have played Navy, with its triple-option attack, and held the Mids to one touchdown. But the difference in athleticism is vast.

Tech oughta win, then take to Tobacco Road next week for its biggie against . . . Duke!?!
