Tech may have been able to bounce back, but would it last?
Whereas the previous few season had resulted in middling teams at best, being behind a confident, third year starting quarterback in the form of Fred Braselton was sure to be a much-needed positive sign for Georgia Tech. And, off the bat, it was prescient. Tech once more headed out on the road in Lexington, where they narrowly edged the Kentucky Wildcats 14-12. Tech, in those days, was often looked on with rose colored glasses, as, despite a few years of checkered success, they climbed not just into the top 25, but all the way to the no.
