Technical Tidbits 10/10: Jackets drop third-straight game, NC State and Notre Dame go swimming

Georgia Tech dropped a third-straight game over the weekend, falling by a final score of 37-34 to the Pittsburgh Panthers at Heinz Field. The team lost just as it did last season, on a miraculous last-second field goal by Chris Blewitt to give the Panthers the edge; last time it was a school-record 56-yarder and this time it was a 31-yarder that bounced off the upright and went in. That may be nothing more than dumb luck for Pitt, but the Tech defense giving up north of 400 yards indicates something more substantial at play. It becomes more difficult by the day to defend the struggling defensive system of Ted Roof, but it’s also important to consider how bad defenses around the nation have been all season long.
