We've talked a lot throughout the course of this season about our frustrations with Georgia Tech's defense. While the offense has definitely improved since the start of the season, the defense has slowly degraded and become less and less reliable. After giving up 57 points in the team's first four games (14.25 ppg, with only Clemson scoring more than 14), the defense has allowed 117 points over its last four (29.25 ppg, not including the defensive touchdowns scored by Miami), including 96 points to the most recent trio of Pittsburgh, Georgia Southern, and Duke.
I should clarify, too, that the issue here isn't personnel or talent -- it's scheme.
