After both Georgia Tech and South Florida lost in Week 1, one team was guaranteed their first victory of the season. Georgia Tech proved the longtime saying true “defense wins games”.
Last season when these two teams met, the offense was off the charts with a combined total of 87 points. This year proved that neither team is quite the same.
The Jackets defense is still noticeably improving, holding the Bulls to 262 total yards and two fumbles. They also held the Bulls to just 4/15 on third-down conversions. Tech racked up four sacks on the day, and aside from giving up a 48 yard run by USF quarterback Blake Barnett, the Bulls rushing game was virtually nonexistent.
