Georgia Tech once again dominated on the ground on Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium, but untimely turnovers left the door open for Pittsburgh to stay in a game it probably didn’t belong in.
Thankfully for the Yellow Jackets, the Ted Roof-led defense stood its ground in an impressive performance to beat divisional foe Pitt, 35-17.
The Panthers managed just 37 rushing yards in the game and failed to score an offensive touchdown after their 5-play, 78-yard scoring drive that opened the game.
“It was great to start out with a conference win, especially a division win,” coach Paul Johnson said after the game.
