The Yellow Jackets' offense was on fire throughout the game, accumulating a total of 578 yards. The passing game was particularly effective; the quarterback threw for 310 yards with an outstanding completion percentage of roughly 71 percent and four touchdowns. One pass went for an impressive distance of 55 yards which also resulted in the longest touchdown. On the ground, Georgia Tech rushed for a total of 268 yards. Their running backs found gaps and broke free for significant gains, including one rush that covered a remarkable distance of 67 yards.


Georgia Tech's special teams contributed to their dominance as well. They executed nine kickoffs totaling 585 yards and achieved touchbacks on all attempts keeping pressure on the Bulldogs' return game. Field goal kicking added another dimension to their scoring capability with two successful field goals out of three attempts; one from within the range of 39 yards and another from within the range of 49 yards.


Defensively, Georgia Tech made it difficult for their opponents to gain any momentum. They forced two turnovers including one interception which they returned for twelve yards and recovered one fumble as well. The defensive unit held strong against South Carolina State's advances allowing only three penalties amounting to just forty-five penalty yards against them.


On the other hand, despite being outplayed overall, South Carolina State managed thirteen points against a tough Yellow Jackets defense but struggled to find consistency in both offensive drives and defensive stands throughout each quarter.


As fans look ahead after this commanding home victory by Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football team at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field in Atlanta GA., attention turns toward their next challenge: an away game scheduled against Ole Miss Rebels at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford MS.. This upcoming contest is set for September sixteenth at six thirty PM Eastern Time (ET) and will be broadcasted on SEC Network via satellite channel six eleven where fans can tune in to watch all action unfold live.
