CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA – Visits to Scott Stadium have oft been a nightmare for Georgia Tech. Today’s Halloween showdown with Virginia produced a similarly scary result. The Yellow Jackets were swatted on a last minute 4th quarter drive and fell at the hands of the Cavaliers by a final score of 27-21.
“I’m disappointed more in the way we played than in the outcome of the game,” said Head Coach Paul Johnson. “We didn’t look like a very well coached football team out there.”
Turnovers played a key role in the outcome. Georgia Tech (3-6, 1-5) put the ball on the ground three times and lost two of them. Both turnovers happened early in drives and deep in Georgia Tech territory, the first coming on Tech’s 3rd offensive snap of the game.
Said Johnson, “The first time we had the ball was ridiculous. That was a love bump and we laid it on the ground.”
It marked the third game in the last four that the Yellow Jackets turned the ball over on their first offensive drive of the game.
