Georgia Tech Beat Clemson 20-6: First Win at Death Valley Since 2008 as Defense Allows No Touchdown
On November 14 at Memorial Stadium in Clemson, South Carolina, Georgia Tech beat Clemson 20-6, winning at the stadium known as Death Valley for the first time since 2008.
Georgia Tech controlled both lines of scrimmage, outgaining Clemson 407-228 overall and 269-86 on the ground. Running back Justice Haynes carried 13 times for 116 yards, breaking the game open with a 53-yard touchdown run in the third quarter that made it 20-3, his third 100-yard game of the season. In a two-quarterback rotation, Alberto Mendoza threw for 138 yards and Grady Adamson ran 19 times for a career-high 87 yards, opening the scoring with a 3-yard touchdown run.
The defense headlined the win with four sacks, six tackles for loss and five pass breakups, holding Clemson to two field goals. It was the first time Georgia Tech had held an FBS opponent without a touchdown since doing the same to Clemson in 2014. Linebacker Cayman Spaulding posted a career-high 11 tackles with a sack, two tackles for loss, a forced fumble and a pass breakup.
The win snapped Georgia Tech's four-game losing streak, gave the Yellow Jackets back-to-back wins over Clemson for the first time since 2008-09, and was head coach Brent Key's 30th win at Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech hosts Wake Forest next Saturday for Senior Day. (Source: Georgia Tech Athletics)
