Ga Tech ran for 525 yards last night

but lost the game?? Did I read that wrong ?? How does that even happen, apparently the Yellow Jackets found a way to lose the game with turnovers I suppose.
525 rushing yards, INSANE.

Same exact way N.C. (No Chance) State and the Semiholes lost their games. Missed field goals and lousy specialty teams. Dabo and company get it right. Gonna be fun.

would have won it and 2 badly missed short field goals.
GT dominated the game though. Well, GT's offense did... GT's defense is REALLY bad.

Just read the game stats, and I would have had score somewhere around a 3 TD win for Ga Tech. Over 41 minutes TOP, more than double TN. 665 yards to 374, again nearly double. 96 plays to 59 plays.
Monumental fail, I can only imagine their feelings after decimating an opponent, and LOSE the game.
Stats are not everything, but I would love to know if a team has ever had 500+ rushing yards and did not win ?? I might have to google that, EPIC failure!

Special teams and turnovers will make a "good" team look

horrible in the W/L column... just like in golf, long tee shots and good iron play mean nothing if your short game and putting sucks.

Turnovers, plain and simple.
I wonder how many football coaches are using a clip of that Tech tailback fumbling so late in the game. Something like "Guys, this is what we mean by ball security."
He did not protect the ball, and his team lost because of it. I don't mean to bust on a college kid, but what a game changer.
If Tech scores on that drive, they win. Too bad for Tech.

PJ had a 3rd and 7 form the Tenn 30 and he threw the ball.

GT was running it down their throat at that point. Absolutely should have run it twice there. Incomplete pass followed up by the worst field goal attempt you have ever seen.
