▶ Third Down Conversions
Georgia: 7-of-8 (87%), Georgia Tech: 3-of-16 (18%), again just goes to show the discrepancy in talent between these two in-state rivals.

Offense Flounders As Georgia Tech Falls Victim To Troy, 27-12
It was an even match on paper between these two lowly-ranked squads, in fact, these teams were so bad that the game didn't even provide commentary on the broadcast.

Tale Of The Tape
▶ Turnovers
Troy had just one turnover, compared to Georgia Tech's three. Overall, GT put the rock on the floor four times, but luckily recovered two of them.
▶ Redzone-TD-FG Conversions
Troy: 4-3-1 (100%), Georgia Tech: 3-1-0 (33%), proving that this game was really close, but GT just couldn't put the exclamation point on multiple opportunities.
