Georgia Tech held a 10 minute, 50 second edge in time of possession Saturday -- the fifth straight game it had an edge of at least 10 minutes. It's average ToP margin during that span was 12:56. Overall, Tech finished the season third in time of possession, trailing Michigan State and UTEP.

Georgia Tech had 12 runs of 10 yards or more. That's by far the most FSU has allowed during the Jimbo Fisher era (Florida had nine in 2010).

Georgia Tech's ground game demolished FSU in the first half, running for 214 yards -- the most an FSU D has allowed in one half in at least a decade. But the big key for FSU's win was better tackling in the second half. Georgia Tech averaged 2.6 yards after contact per rush in the first half, but just 1.1 after contact in the second.

Thomas had his fourth 100-yard rushing day of the season, not including lost yardage to sacks. Only three other QBs have had as many: BC's Tyler Murphy, Mississippi State's Dak Prescott and Auburn's Nick Marshall.

Yeah, well.

The number that matters is FSU made zero offensive mistakes and only a handful of mistakes on defense. GT made 2-3 mistakes on offense and more than that on defense.

That's the difference between a champion and a good team. We out played them, but they screwed up less.
