There’s a lot to take away from Georgia Tech’s season opener on Thursday night but we picked six of them to share here in this morning after.

Georgia Tech on Thursday night kicked off their 2019 season and the Geoff Collins’ era against one of the country’s premier programs. The Jackets would end up walking out of Memorial Stadium on the tails of a 52-14 defeat. 

There was overall, a lot to take away from the game on Thursday night. A good amount of positives but an equal amount of negatives. Either way, most Tech fans knew it wasn’t going to be an easy transition from Paul Johnson to Geoff Collins and last night reiterated that sentiment. That being said, here are six takeaways from Georgia Tech’s 52-14 loss to Clemson last night.
