For the third straight game, the Georgia Tech defense is struggling. They couldn’t stop anything against NC State or Boston College, and they were fortunate to escape the BC game against a one-win Eagles team.
But tonight, with everything on the line and a trip to the ACC Championship Game up for grabs, the defense opened the game by giving up big plays, big drives and touchdowns.
As the Panthers jumped out to a 14–0 lead, the Yellow Jackets defense was allowing 9.3 yards per play with 3:13 left in the first quarter.
