It wasn’t always pretty, but thanks to their 45-24 victory over the Temple Owls at Bobby Dodd last Saturday, Tech football is now 4-0 for the first time since 2014. Against the Owls, Jackets could not have scripted a better first quarter offensively, putting up three touchdowns in three possessions. An 18-yard rushing touchdown from Haynes King, a 24-yard touchdown pass from King to Malik Rutherford on a screen pass and a 37-yard touchdown pass from King to Isaiah Canion gave the Jackets a commanding 21-0 lead.
After one quarter of play, it seemed as if Tech, the 21-point favorite, would cruise to their eighth consecutive home win.
