The last time the Clemson football team beat Georgia Tech in Atlanta, Clemson co-offensive coordinator Tony Elliott was playing for the Tigers.
Then a graduate wide receiver, Elliott scored the first touchdown of the game — a 9-yard reception from Charlie Whitehurst — and finished with five receptions for 31 yards to help Clemson win 39-3 at Georgia Tech on Sept. 20, 2003.
Since then, Clemson has lost five games in a row against Georgia Tech in Atlanta.
“I actually had to steal that ball away from the DB to get credit for the touchdown,” Elliott said with a smile on Monday.
