Georgia Tech took advantage of a stagnant FSU offense last week but had just a bit more trouble containing the up-tempo attack against UCF and talented sophomore QB Dillon Gabriel. The defense also suffered from missing several key players in Clayton, Chimedza (out for season), Ryans, and Swilling. Swilling probably hurt most of all as his ability in coverage could have prevented a few of the deep balls on third downs.
The game wasn’t without some positives from a few individual performers but turnovers and penalties killed momentum throughout the game. Sims didn’t fare as well in the second game of his career either with some overthrown passes and a lost fumble in the red zone.
