The Yellow Jackets (1-2, 0-1 Atlantic Shore Seminar) had a possibility to require overtime after recovering an onside kick with 1:19 to play. But they were held out of completion area on four plays from the Clemson 2 in the closing seconds-- the last when linebacker James Skalski dealt with Dylan Deveney a lawn short.
The chaos continued, though, when Shipley messed up in the end area with Clemson (2-1, 1-0) trying to go out the clock as well as was taken on after recouping for a safety with 7 secs left.
The Tigers kicked the round away and Georgia Technology quarterback Jordan Yates' last ditch toss with 3 secs left was ruled an incomplete forward pass, ending the game.
The video game was postponed virtually two hours just before the half as a result of the hazard of lightning around Memorial Stadium.
Clemson was favored by almost 4 touchdowns and also had actually beaten the Yellow Jackets 73-7 a season earlier. This time, however, Clemson as well as quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei couldn't get the crime going for the 2nd time in 3 video games.
Clemson was held to 180 backyards in a 10-3 loss to No. 2 Georgia two weeks earlier. Georgia Technology limited Clemson to 207 backyards the very first 3 quarters and it consistently generated third-down quits.

Clemson's protection has played at a championship level up until now. The group has yet to generate a TD, holding its initial three challengers to a total amount of four basket. Georgia's touchdown in the opener came on a pick-six interception.
Yates drove his team to Clemson's 5 at the end of both halves. The Yellow Jackets left with a basket both times. He ended up 20 of 33 for 203 backyards.

To battle this much this period was not expected out of Uiagalelei and heralded running prospects like Shipley as well as sophomore Kobe Rate.
The Tigers really did not rack up a touchdown in the opener versus Georgia, where Uiagalelei was sacked 7 times and misfired several passes.
Points showed up on the ideal track a week ago when Clemson scored goals on its four opening possessions-- Uiagalelei ran for two goals and tossed for a third-- in a 49-3 blowout of South Carolina State.
But the Tigers once again couldn't obtain anything going against a Georgia Technology protection placed 9th in the ACC in factors enabled at simply less than 20 a game.
THE TAKEAWAY
Georgia Tech: The Yellow Coats definitely come away with a jolt of self-confidence after playing toe-to-toe at Clemson, in spite of their 7th straight loss to the Tigers. It's unlikely they'll see one more defense as deep and also talented in the ACC.
Clemson: The Tigers have work ahead if they expect a 7th consecutive ACC title as well as journey to the College Football Playoff. Their protection is championship quality. The crime is not and Uiagalelei and offending coordinator Tony Elliott should locate some answers quickly.
POLL IMPLICATIONS
