Tech losing battle for field position

Georgia Tech has yet to win the field-position battle in its previous seven games this season. The Yellow Jackets won it five times against teams from Power 5 conferences last year.

Poor field position is one of the many reasons that the Yellow Jackets’ offense and defense are struggling this season as they continue to prepare for next Thursday’s game against Virginia Tech.
