Quick Hit #3: Secondary concerns

There’s no much you can complain about defensively for the Yellow Jackets, the Falcons rushing attack was not effective at all, only averaging just over a single yard per carry. The secondary, however, was lit up by sophomore quarterback Jarrett Doege, who had a decent day through the air outside of two interceptions.

On the day Doege completed 61% of his passes ( 27-for-44 ) for over 300-yards. Only one touchdown came through the air however for the Falcons. Senior wideout Scott Miller was Doege’s favorite target throughout the day, as Miller was responsible for 10-receptions for 117-yards.
