The fanbase did their part, showing up in truckloads to cheer on the Wildcats. The team, however, was unable to get the job done.

After an incredibly slow start for the Wildcats on offense, the Yellow Jackets got up early and held on till the end, defeating Kentucky 33-18.

On the game’s opening drive, Georgia Tech’s Patrick Gamble strip-sacked Stephen Johnson in the backfield, where the fumble was returned back for a touchdown to take a 7-0 lead early.

Kentucky responded back with little fight, punting after just six plays, where GT came back and hit a field goal to go up 10-0.
