The Cardinals came to Bobby Dodd under the Friday night lights and left still winless in ACC play. Tech, in their gold helmets and navy uniforms, played a low-mistake game and moved to 2-1 in ACC play and 2-2 overall. Behind improvements in three key categories — turnover margin, penalty yardage, and negative plays — the team put together their best looking game of the season and came out on top against a team that was favored by a score entering the evening.
The game got off to a great start for the Jackets, forcing a fumble on Louisville’s first drive before marching 64 yards down the field and scoring on a Jahmyr Gibbs touchdown run.
