After losing to Duke in each of the last two seasons, the Yellow Jackets came into the weekend aiming for revenge and a key win against a divisional opponent. It wasn’t all smooth sailing, but Georgia Tech ended up getting that much-needed win to improve to 5-3 on the season.
On Homecoming weekend, the Yellow Jackets jumped out to a big lead, going up 28-7 in the first half but it would not be that easy to put away the Blue Devils. Duke took advantage of two turnovers early in the third quarter to claw their way back into the game and took a four point lead midway through the fourth quarter.
