Postgame Notes
Team Notes
- Georgia Tech fell to 9-2 overall and closed its Atlantic Coast Conference season at 6-2.
- The loss snapped Georgia Tech’s 10-game winning streak at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field, which dated back to the beginning of the 2024 season and was its longest since it won 17-straight home games from 1989-91.
- Georgia Tech dropped to 6-12 overall and 2-7 at home all-time against Pitt.
- Georgia Tech’s 21-0 deficit at the end of the first quarter was tied for the second-largest first-quarter deficit in program history (largest: 24-0 at Notre Dame – Nov. 20, 2021).
- Georgia Tech’s six sacks matched a season high (prev. 6 vs. Gardner-Webb – Sept. 6).
- Georgia Tech finished with two turnovers, which marked the first time since Game 2 of the season that it had multiple turnovers in a game.
- Georgia Tech’s sellout crowd of 52,413 was its second-straight (Oct. 25 vs. Syracuse was also a sellout). It marked the first time that Georgia Tech has had multiple sellouts in a year since 2015.
- The crowd of 52,413 was Georgia Tech’s third-straight of 50,000-plus (in addition to the consecutive sellouts, 50,878 were in attendance on Oct. 11 vs. Virginia Tech). It marked the first time since 2011 that Georgia Tech had three-consecutive crowds of 50,000-plus.
- Georgia Tech lost the opening coin toss for the 10th time in 11 games this season. The Yellow Jackets’ lone win on an opening coin toss came in their second game of the season (Sept. 6 vs. Gardner-Webb). Including losing the coin toss at the beginning of overtime at Wake Forest (Sept. 27), Tech is 1-11 in coin tosses this season. The statistical odds of winning just 1-of-12 coin tosses are just 0.293% (1 in 340).
Individual Notes
- r-Sr. QB Haynes King accounted for 333 yards (257 passing, 76 rushing) and three touchdowns (one passing, two rushing) and extended his own Georgia Tech record with his 17th game with a passing touchdown and a rushing touchdown.
- King now has 89 touchdowns responsible for in 34 games as a Yellow Jacket, which extends his own school record.
- WR Isiah Canion’s two touchdown receptions were a career high (prev.: one – twice) and gave him the team lead with four on the season.
- LB Cayman Spaulding’s two sacks were his most as a Yellow Jacket (prev.: 0.5 vs. Temple – Sept. 20).
