Georgia Tech dominated the ground game, not the scoreboard
Air Force schooled Georgia Tech in old-fashioned style football beating the Yellow Jackets 14-7 in the Advocare 100 Independence Bowl. The Falcons ran the option to perfection much to the delight of the Shreveport faithful. Falcons QB Tim Jefferson handed the ball off to six different backs for a combined 170 yards. Meanwhile, Jefferson would keep the Yellow Jackets’ defense honest by completing 11 passes for 117 yards.
Georgia Tech’s defense played stellar holding the Falcons aerial attack to only 14 points as Air Force typically scores 32 points per game. Georgia Tech’s weak link was offense and special teams. Bad field position, muffed punts, and 4 turnovers killed any possible momentum for Tech. With the speedy Air Force secondary, back-up QB Tevin Washington could not find his targets completing only 5 passes for 41 yards with a crucial INT as the clock winded down.
This is Georgia Tech’s six straight bowl defeat and another disappointment for the ACC.
