Setting aside the rivalry element, Saturday’s game felt like a familiar tale for a while. The Jackets were reeling off one big play after another on offense, but they couldn't get the opposing offense off the field. When Tech's offense went cold in the third quarter and georgia built up a 13-point lead against a tired defense, any hopes of winning had all but faded.
But when the situation was dire, both players and units stepped up. The defense forced a critical stop, and the senior quarterback promptly led a quick-strike touchdown drive in response. Minutes later, a veteran cornerback forced the turnover that the team so desperately needed, giving the offense a shot to win the ballgame.
