The Statistical: The passing game worked, and exactly nothing else did.

Yeah, there’s really no positive spin to put on this one. The Vanderbilt Commodores got dominated by the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.

Really, Vanderbilt did manage to keep things interesting for a half before Georgia Tech poured it on in the second half. And there’s at least some positive in a 51.5% passing success rate; oddly, it was the Vanderbilt running game that wasn’t working. Georgia Tech’s passing success rate of 27.8% is mitigated by exactly how successful those five “successful” pass plays were: they went for 81, 10, 16, 17, and 77 yards. The three in the middle all came on second or third-and-long situations, meaning Vanderbilt’s defense couldn’t get off the field when they needed to.
