POV’s Monday Morning QB

OK – Monday morning after a nice win against Georgia Tech by a close score of 37-34 on a last play of the game FG by Chris Blewitt… a reprisal of what he did against the Yellow Jackets in 2015.

POSITIVES: 

* We stuck it out and came from behind to win a close game which is something we failed to do against OSU and North Carolina.  We held a 27-20 lead going into the 4th quarter and promptly lost it on a 45 yard run by the GT RB and then five minutes later on a shorter drive that put the score at 34-27.
