Georgia Tech’s 63-17 beatdown of the Bowling Green Falcons went pretty much how everyone predicted. Following Saturday’s slate of games the Falcons remained ranked 128th (out of 130 teams) in the S&P+ rankings while the Jackets moved up 12 spots to 58th. We can’t learn much from a blowout win against one of the worst teams in the FBS, but there are still some positive takeaways that the Jackets will try to build upon as they enter the heart of their ACC schedule.
Bowling Green came out in a 4-2-5 defensive formation (four linemen, two linebackers, five defensive backs) with two of the defensive backs lined up on the line of scrimmage, essentially as outside linebackers.
