Manny Diaz knows Duke is 'in control of the game' vs. Georgia Tech despite tied score

After a disastrous first quarter, the Duke Blue Devils' offense found its footing and was finally able to put some points on the board as the team battled the undefeated Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.

As the two teams headed into their locker rooms at halftime, the game was tied at 7-7, and Duke head coach Manny Diaz felt assured that his squad was in a good place.

“We were in control of the game everywhere except the scoreboard, just keep doing what we’re doing, it’s two great teams," Diaz said. "We just gotta finish drives."

A fumbled handoff and a muffed snap on a field goal attempt led to the Blue Devils going scoreless through the first 29 and a half minutes of the game, and the Yellow Jackets scoring a defensive touchdown just a few minutes in.
