Georgia Tech got what it needed to today from its defense and special teams, but the offensive side of the football let them down in their loss to Virginia Tech
today.
it was a methodical drive for Georgia Tech on their first possession. Pyron was finding his tight ends on this drive, hitting Josh Beetham and Jackson Hawes for two first downs, but the drive stalled out in Virginia Tech territory. Brent Key made the decision to put Aidan Birr out there for a 34-yard field goal attempt. Special teams have been a thorn in Georgia Tech's side this year, but Birr made it and capped off a 12 play, 59-yard drive for GT and they led 3-0 in the game.
Needing a response from their offense, Georgia Tech proceeded to go three and out. The good thing is, a good punt from David Shanahan, a penalty on Virginia Tech, and really good tackling forced the Hokies to go three and out on their next possession. Georgia Tech got the ball back quickly. With not much time left, the Yellow Jackets defense did get a stop and prevented the Hokies from adding to the lead. Virginia Tech went into the half leading 14-6.
Once again though, the Georgia Tech defense and special teams came through. They did not allow the Hokies to gain anything and sacked Drones on 3rd down to force a 55-yard field goal attempt. Zeek Biggers blocked it and gave Georgia Tech its best field position of the day.
