The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets displayed a robust offensive performance against the Virginia Cavaliers, accumulating a total of 364 yards. The rushing attack was particularly effective, contributing 220 yards to the offense with an average of four yards per carry. A highlight for the Yellow Jackets was an impressive 78-yard touchdown run, which stood out as one of their three rushing touchdowns. In addition to their ground game success, they also managed to complete six passes for a total of 179 passing yards; this included a notable 49-yard completion and a touchdown pass that connected for 33 yards.


Despite five sacks allowed by their offensive line, resulting in a loss of yardage totaling up to thirty-five yards, Georgia Tech's quarterback maintained composure and achieved an overall passer rating close to ninety-three. On special teams play, although none of their six kickoffs resulted in touchbacks or were placed inside the twenty-yard line, they did manage to return eight kickoffs for a combined total distance of one hundred seventy-eight yards.


Defensively speaking, Georgia Tech managed one interception that they returned for twenty-seven yards and scored on that same play. They also forced one fumble during the course of action and successfully recovered it. However disciplined they were on defense though; it is worth noting that both teams exercised control over penalties throughout the game with each side committing only six infractions.


As we look ahead after this hard-fought battle between these two teams from week ten's schedule during this regular season year marked by its competitive nature within college football's landscape – fans can anticipate seeing more from their beloved Yellow Jackets soon enough when they host another conference rival.


The upcoming game will see the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets back on home turf as they welcome Virginia Tech Hokies at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Historic Grant Field located in Atlanta on November eleventh with kickoff scheduled for twelve-twenty PM Eastern Time. Fans eager not to miss any action can tune into ESPN CE where live coverage will be broadcasted directly from Atlanta's own historic stadium grounds.
