After a tough loss at the hands of Pittsburgh, Tech was looking to bounce back and stay in the race for the Coastal Division. Tech headed to take on Duke as they looked to get back in the win column. A year ago, when Duke came to Bobby Dodd, the Jackets came out on top with a 56-33 win.
In this year’s matchup, Duke got the opening possession of the game and Tech’s defense stood tall forcing a three-and-out. As Tech’s offense came onto the field for the first time, Jeff Sims was looking to build off of a performance in which he threw for a career-high 359 yards.
