For three years, football teams from the state of North Carolina have been trying to beat the Jackets. Today, that losing streak extended to four years in a thriller that kept Tech fans on the edge of their seats until the clock hit 0:00.
Midway through the fourth quarter, the Jackets were cruising to victory holding a ten point lead. A mixture of poor execution on both sides of the ball led to the game being tied with under a minute left. The Jackets know all too well that the game is not over until it is over – look at their comeback victory against Miami last season – but it started to look like this game would be decided in overtime.
