Georgia Tech snapped a four-game losing streak with a 20-6 road win at Clemson, a response that came days after Brent Key fired multiple assistants in a midseason staff overhaul.
The Yellow Jackets controlled the game on the ground, rushing for 269 yards and two touchdowns while holding Clemson to 228 total yards at Memorial Stadium.
Clemson's offense unraveled further when starter Tait Reynolds left early with a leg injury and backup Christopher Vizzina threw for 133 yards and an interception before going to a hospital after the game.
Dabo Swinney said Clemson failed at the line of scrimmage and did not deserve to win; the loss also dropped the Tigers to nine defeats in their last 11 home games against Power Four opponents.
The setback further damaged Clemson's ACC title chances and renewed pressure on Swinney, whose contract would cost about $57 million to buy out if he were fired this fall.
