The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets used some big plays on both sides of the ball to get their second straight win of the season. It is their fourth victory in their last five games. They’ve done well to close out their schedule since losing three ACC games in a row.

Running back Marcus Marshall scored on a 67-yard run. Quarterback Justin Thomas completed a 54-yard pass to running back Clinton Lynch. Running back Qua Searcy scored on a 60-yard run. Cornerback Lance Austin scored on a 24-yard interception return.

The Yellow Jackets defense forced three turnovers, all of them interceptions.

In a game where Georgia Tech was outplayed on the stat sheet, they still found a way to come out victorious. Despite allowing the most first downs (27) all season, the Yellow Jackets have turned things around as the season comes to a close.

This Week: @ Georgia

The Yellow Jackets travel to Athens this week with upset on their mind. They won the team’s meeting in 2014, but have just one victory in the last seven meetings.
