One week after playing probably its best game of the season, Georgia Tech plunged to what may have been its worst.
The Yellow Jackets followed a close 33-28 loss at Virginia on Nov. 9 with a 45-0 loss at home to Virginia Tech on Saturday. Now the young Yellow Jackets have a short week to try to recover to face North Carolina State.
The Wolfpack enter the game on a four-game losing streak. The closest loss was by 14 points to Louisville on Saturday. The margins in the first three losses were 21, 34 and 45 points. N.C. State’s victories this season have come against East Carolina, Western Carolina, Ball State and Syracuse.
N.C. State has won five consecutive games against ACC Coastal Division opponents and has won in its past two trips to Bobby Dodd Stadium. The most recent victory came in 2010.
