There was a lot to digest following Georgia Tech’s gut punching loss to USF on Saturday and here are five topics we believe are worth talking about as we look back at the loss.

At one point in Saturday’s game, you could see Georgia Tech fans on Twitter warning each other not to get too excited. The Jackets had a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter, but as Atlanta sports fans, many knew it wasn’t going to be that easy.

Well, all the warnings were worth it as the Yellow Jackets seemingly on cue began to collapse in the fourth quarter as they turned the ball over twice while given up 21-points on defense in the final 15 minutes of action. Overall, the loss was the Jackets sixth straight loss in a true road game and drops them to 2-12 in their last 14 true road games (neutral site not included). The Yellow Jackets will need to find a way to win on the road this season if they hope to make a bowl game come this winter.

Overall, for the Yellow Jackets, it was a gut punching loss and a little earlier we posted our gut reactions to the loss. For many Tech fans, it was just too familiar of a situation and one that they are getting tired of experiencing. After having the chance to digest the game a little bit more, we’ve been able to narrow it down to five topics we believe are worth talking about in terms of Saturday’s loss to South Florida.
