WE'RE GOING TO THE POP-TARTS BOWL!!!!!!

In the case that Tech gets slotted into the Pinstripe Bowl against Penn State (who is already confirmed), it will be the 2nd Yankee Stadium that GT/PSU have played in against each other and the third baseball stadium in New York City they've played in

Georgia Tech loses OC Buster Faulkner to Florida as he joins Pat Sumrall's staff to serve in the same position. Faulkner revolutionized Tech's offense to be one of the most dangerous in the country, and now we are short our play caller going into the bowl game

For the situations that require a BC win, they are following through

This is not good

On why the defense improved: "Everything was simple," said E.J. Lightsey

73,728 the announced attendance

We may have lost, but we came away with a bag

Hail mary by King is deflected to the ground

uga wins 16-9

Tech has 13 seconds to go 80 yards and tie the game

Georgia gets the first down they needed. This is pretty much donezo now at the 2min warning and Tech only having 1 timeout

So, we need a stop, then need a touchdown. It ain't likely, but just might be time for a little magic in this game...

Penalties put Tech in field goal range but we can't get much further. 41 yard Aidan Birr, SIR, field goal makes it a one score game

16-9 uga, 3:30 4Q

A sack by Jordan Boyd on 3rd down forces a georgia putn. Tech ball at the 12. Only 6 minutes left and we need 2 scores

uga 50yd field goal is good

16-6 uga, 14:05 4Q

georgia letting the clock run out on the 3rd quarter. They face 3rd & 10 from the GT38

King goes three straight runs but can't convert on 3rd & 2, giving Aidan Birr, SIR, his 24th field goal of the season and the GEORGIA TECH SINGLE SEASON RECORD!!!

13-6 uga, 4:33 3Q

Taking a second to remark how insane it is that uga only has 13 points halfway through the 3rd Q

2 presnap penalties derail georgia's drive after the interception and they punt. Tech ball around midfield

King tries to hit Patterson on a deep shot and it gets picked off

uga ball at their 4 yard line

3 & out for the dwags to start the 2nd half!!

Kirby lets most of the clock run off under 1:00 left in the half before calling timeout. Huge break for Tech

Possibly 3 of the most uninspired plays when Tech needed yards we've seen all season. Nichols' punt has uga down around their 32

Basically a walk in TD for Zachariah Branch from 7 yards out.

10-3 uga, 4:35 2Q

Tech goes three and out on their third drive and Nichols shanks the punt

uga ball at their 45

Tech stops a Stockton scramble short of the goal line and force georgia to hit a chip shot field goal

3-3. 9:42 2Q

Not sure. We're the stadium but bands usually sound weird in here

georgia isn't bothering to throw and it's working for them

End of the 1st quarter. georgia will have a 3rd & 1 from the UGA47 out of the TV timeout.

Tech leading 3-0, largely a shrunk game with this only being the 4th possession by either team so far
