Here’s an interesting stat from an article that came out after Tech’s loss to Temple earlier this year:
“Georgia Tech has not been shutout in 278 games, which is the seventh-longest streak in the nation (last time GT was shut out: Oct. 18, 1997 – 38-0 at Florida State).”
Tech was lucky to get two points in that game on a safety to avoid a shutout. Well, they weren’t as lucky today. Georgia Tech lost to Virginia Tech by a final score of 45-0. To make matters worse, it was Tech’s first home shutout in over 61 years.
