ATLANTA (AP) -- While Clemson's offense and Georgia Tech's defense seem to finally be hitting their strides, the troubles for both units could return this week.

Something will likely give in a matchup of the Yellow Jackets' 55th-ranked total defense and the Clemson's No. 80 total offense.

Clemson's problems are in the passing game. The Tigers (3-3, 1-2 ACC) had five drops two weeks ago in a loss at North Carolina and six in a victory last week against Maryland.

Georgia Tech's defense has suffered from a lack of turnovers. The Yellow Jackets (5-2, 3-1) managed six takeaways in last week's win over FCS opponent Middle Tennessee, but they had only seven through the first six games.
