GT's O vs BC's D

[GTWannaBee]

To put our performance in perspective, here is a chart I found on ESPN regarding BC's last 8 games compared to the one GT game. Judging by the numbers, I'd say we faired pretty well.

Stalled Out

How did Boston College lose to Georgia Tech? Its vaunted rush defense did not do as well as it has in the past eight games.

What do they give up through the air? If people were bombing for 400 yards/game it wouldn't matter if they couldn't rush for anything. I do think those numbers are sick, though

The average for passing was 218 YPG. Only two teams (F$U and Maryland) broke 300 during that span.
