Georgia Tech secured a historic 20-6 victory over Clemson at Death Valley on Saturday, ending a 16-year drought dating back to 2008. The Yellow Jackets dominated on the ground, rushing for 269 yards and two touchdowns, with Justice Haynes contributing significantly through 116 yards and a 53-yard scoring run.

The Georgia Tech defense proved formidable, limiting Clemson to 228 total yards and stifling their run game. This performance was crucial for the Yellow Jackets, who entered the game with four consecutive losses, all by double digits.

Clemson's offense struggled throughout the game, exacerbated by injuries to key quarterbacks Cade Klubnik and Christopher Vizzina. Klubnik left the game early with a leg injury and underwent an MRI, while Vizzina was injured in the fourth quarter, casting uncertainty on future offensive capabilities.

The win is a significant morale boost for Georgia Tech (3-7, 2-5 ACC) as they face tough upcoming opponents, including No. 11 Wake Forest and rival No. 1 Georgia. Clemson (6-4, 4-3 ACC) now faces challenges in maintaining their standing with offensive struggles and quarterback concerns heading into their next game against Duke.
