Georgia Tech was a slight underdog heading into their game against Wake Forest, but the defense put on their best performance of the season. Kyle Kennard led the way with four sacks and Jaylon King got two interceptions on his way to being named the ACC defensive back of the week. Haynes King and the offense did just enough for the team to get a big win.

Georgia Tech faces Bowling Green this weekend and it will be a great opportunity to get another win and get to 3-2 heading into a primetime matchup against Miami.

The Yellow Jackets still have a ways to go under Key, but there is clear improvement and buy-in from these players. The offense has been one of the best in the ACC and King has been performing as well as any quarterback in the conference. There are still plenty of tough games left on the schedule, but it is never a bad thing when someone of Herbstreit's stature takes notice of is going on.
