Georgia Tech didn’t take long to force another turnover at the start of the second half.

With Jacksonville State trailing the Jackets 10-7 to begin the third quarter Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium, Durham picked off the second pass of the drive and set up Tech at the 16-yard line. Three plays later, Ricky Jeune caught TaQuon Marshall’s pass on a comeback route and slipped away from the defender for a 23-yard touchdown, giving the Jackets a 17-7 lead.
