Against Pittsburgh on Saturday, the Georgia Tech defense did what seems to be its calling card this season: Play soundly some of the time and give way the rest.
On nine possessions, Pittsburgh punted four times with two three-and-outs and one four-and-out. But the others, the Jackets allowed Pitt to pound the ball, stay on the field by converting short third downs and make big plays both on the ground and via the pass.
