Prior to Saturday afternoon, Georgia Tech had never lost a game to an FCS opponent. That all changed on Saturday when The Citadel came to The Flats. The Jackets offense once again struggled to find an identity and the Jackets defense just couldn’t hold on against a scrappy and gritty Citadel triple-option offense.
The game started out looking like the Jackets were finally going to open up their offense but that was not the case. In the Jackets first series, Lucas Johnson hit Malachi Carter with a nice back-shoulder throw. The Jackets would complete just six passing attempts following that as they completed 7-of-13 passing attempts for 118-yards on Saturday including one for a touchdown.
