Part 3/6:
Heading into this game, Vanderbilt was believed to have a major advantage in special teams. However, stout performances from Georgia Tech changed the narrative. Their exceptional punt return game, complemented by a notable penalty against Vanderbilt, revealed just how pivotal special teams could be and how Georgia Tech effectively capitalized on this aspect of the game.
The commentators noted that given Vanderbilt's struggles in special teams throughout the current season, the impact of this incident was magnified. The penalty that advanced Georgia Tech's position marked a victory in itself, especially following earlier concerns management had during their plays.
