Despite a gutsy and encouraging effort from the defense, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets fell to the Clemson Tigers, 26-7, on Thursday night in Atlanta.
The score doesn’t tell the whole story on the utter domination from Clemson.
The Tigers ran 82 plays in the game and averaged nearly 5.5 yards per play to finish with 442 total yards. 347 of the yards came in the first half, where they ran a staggering 56 plays. Clemson’s touchdowns in the half equaled Georgia Tech’s first downs — three.
“We were outmanned up there a little bit,” Tech coach Paul Johnson said.
