Remember Clemson?
To me, the loss to the Citadel was actually more embarrassing.
All 3 of these are in the past 3 years.

Clemson last year - at Grant Field - was 73-7…I was there, unfortunately. Worse, my daughter was too and it was embarrassing to her to be a Tech fan afterwards (teenager).

No, no we have been beaten by more on the scoreboard but this one may be near the top just in being totally dominated by an opponent.
Go Jackets!

I will add that this is actually a crucial part of the damage that Collins’ reign has done to the younger fans that many of us have been raising. It never was this bad in terms of blow out losses in such a short time - UNTIL GEOFF COLLINS!

I think this is worse Bc of total domination but they both are inexcusable. Heads is got to roll for it

According to Ken and the AJC:
Collins owns two of the three most lopsided losses in Tech history going back at least to the start of the Bobby Dodd era (1945) – the Jackets' 73-7 loss to Clemson last year and Saturday's defeat. By margin of victory, it tied Tech's 69-14 loss to Notre Dame in 1977, which before the start of the Collins era was the largest margin of defeat in the team's modern era.

From another site.
73-7 is the worst loss since 1970.
55-0 is the biggest road shutout since 1970.
45-0 is the biggest home shutout in since 1970.
They are 3 of the 6 worst losses at GT since 1970.
Another fun stat. That is 7 straight games that the defense has given up 480+ yds. Only 4 teams have had a longer streak than that
2015 Kansas, 2018 Oregon St, 2019 Texas Tech, 2007 UTEP.
3 teams are tied with GT right now with 7 in a row - 2017 ULM, 2017 ECU, 2018 UConn

I don’t know about the worst in history. I do think it’s worse than the Clemson loss. This Notre Dame team is not nearly as good as last years Clemson team and we should be a good bit better than we were. A 55-0 loss to a team that beat VT, Toledo, and FSU by 3 points is ridiculous.
