... Tech has played 196 consecutive games without being shut out (last time: Oct. 18, 1997 vs. Florida State)

... Sophomore B.J. Bostic became the 16th different Yellow Jacket to make his first career start in 2012

... Tech fell behind 7-0 in the first quarter for the sixth time this season

... Tech gave up 14 first-quarter points for the third time this season

... Tech's 14-0 first-quarter deficit was its largest in the first quarter since Miami led the Jackets 19-0 on Sept. 22

... Chris Tanner's career-long 38-yard field goal in the first quarter extended Tech's scoring streak to 13 straight quarters - that streak ended at 13 in the second quarter

... Tech has outscored opponents 107-92 in the first quarter this season

... Tech lost a fumble for the first time since the Nov. 3 Maryland game and had a turnover for the first time since the Nov. 10 UNC game

... Tech had two turnovers in one half for the first time since the Sept. 29 game against Middle Tennessee State; Tech entered today's game with just four turnovers over the last five games combined

... Tech faced its largest halftime deficit vs. Georgia since Nov. 30, 2002 when the Bulldogs led 34-0 at intermission

... if not for a 91-yard fumble return by Presbyterian earlier this year, Georgia's 49-yard fumble return in the first quarter would have been the longest against Tech since 2001
