How Rodgers broke Georgia Tech’s spirit

For 18 seconds Georgia Tech was feeling good.

Jalen Camp hauled in a 59-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jeff Sims, tying top-ranked Clemson at seven with 6:32 to play in the first quarter.

But as quickly as the Yellow Jackets tied the game, the Tigers quickly broke their spirit. On Clemson’s next offensive play, quarterback Trevor Lawrence found a wide-open Amari Rodgers for an 83-yard touchdown pass. From there, the Tigers rolled.

Clemson scored 66 unanswered points after Camp’s tying touchdown, embarrassing the Yellow Jackets 73-7 at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta.
