Road games have been brutal for Georgia Tech this season. They hadn’t scored a single point in the first quarter of any road game and tonight was no exception. The offense came out shaky, totaling only 16 yards for their first three drives.
Despite having a chunk of players missing from the defense the younger reserves stepped up tonight and kept this game close until the offense found its footing in the run game. Freshman defensive end Kyle Kennard was one that stood out with 1.5 sacks and was often beating blocks into the backfield. The first sack of his career came on NC State’s third drive pushing them out of the red zone and forcing them to settle for a field goal.
