Third Quarter Fumbles Cost Tech Late During Heated Homecoming
Photo by Allie GhissonDespite a competitive and contentious first half, Tech crumbled late and lost to the Duke Blue Devils 14-28 on Saturday. With 5:00 to go in the third quarter, Tech was tied with Duke 7-7, but Tech fumbled on the next two drives and then fumbled again on a subsequent kickoff deep in their own territory which Duke capitalized on to the tune of a 21-point advantage. Tech’s mistakes in ball handling proved too much to overcome as the Jackets fell to 3-4 on the season.
