At Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets struggled to find their rhythm against a formidable Temple Owls defense. The home team managed to keep the Yellow Jackets out of the end zone throughout all four quarters. Despite their efforts, Georgia Tech could only muster two points from a safety, while conceding twenty-four points to Temple.


Georgia Tech's offense had difficulty establishing itself during the game. The passing game was particularly hindered; despite attempting thirty-five passes, only fourteen were completed for a total of one hundred seventy-four yards and an interception. Their rushing attack wasn't able to compensate either, with thirty-five attempts yielding one hundred thirty-one yards but failing to produce any touchdowns.


The defensive unit for Georgia Tech managed to record one sack and three tackles for loss but couldn't stop Temple's momentum as they conceded twenty-four points. They did manage an interception but were unable to return it for any yards or capitalize on it offensively.


Special teams saw limited action with only one kickoff by Georgia Tech that went fifty-five yards and was not returned by Temple. Punting was more active; six attempts resulted in two hundred sixty total punting yards and two punts landing inside the twenty-yard line.


Penalties were minimal during this contest as Georgia Tech committed just four penalties totaling thirty-eight yards – well below thresholds that often indicate discipline issues within teams.


Looking ahead, fans can mark their calendars for an exciting upcoming home game at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Historic Grant Field in Atlanta where the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will face off against North Carolina Tar Heels on October 5th at 8:00 PM local time (20:00 UTC). This event will be broadcasted live on ACC Network via satellite channel six hundred twelve for those who wish to follow along from afar.
