After a strong performance against Florida State in Week Zero, Georgia Tech's defense looked to follow it up with another strong performance against Georgia State. While it was not their best performance, the Yellow Jackets redzone defense was excellent and they were able to hold the Panthers on third down. They came up big in the biggest moments and that allowed the offense to stay ahead.

Georgia State rushed for 150 yards in this game and averaged 5.2 yards per carry. The defense also finished with eight tackles for loss against the Panthers.
