Georgia Tech Ends Clemson Skid With 20-6 Upset

Georgia Tech ended a four-game losing streak with a 20-6 victory over Clemson on November 14, winning at Clemson for the first time since 2008. The Yellow Jackets improved to 3-7 overall and 2-5 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, while Clemson fell to 6-4 and 4-3.

Justice Haynes gained 116 yards on the ground and scored on a 53-yard run early in the third quarter. Grady Adamson added 87 yards on the ground and scored on a three-yard run in the first quarter. Georgia Tech finished with 269 rushing yards, while Clemson managed 86.

Clemson quarterback Tait Reynolds left the game after being injured on the opening drive. He did not return. The Tigers used Trent Pearman and Christopher Vizzina at quarterback, but their offense struggled to sustain drives. Clemson scored six points, its lowest total since a 34-3 loss to Georgia to open the 2024 season.

Georgia Tech linebacker Cayman Spaulding recorded 11 tackles, two tackles for loss, a sack and a forced fumble. The Yellow Jackets also got contributions from Tawfiq Thomas, who had six tackles and a tackle for loss, and Jonas Duclona, who recorded five tackles and two pass breakups. Chris Corbo caught two passes for 54 yards.

Georgia Tech next hosts No. 11 Wake Forest, then faces No. 1 Georgia. Clemson travels to Duke.
