4. The offensive line was dominant

After the first couple of drives and a few holding penalties (a couple of which were questionable), the offensive line really settled into the game.

The unit doesn’t get near enough praise for the talent it possesses, but that was on display Thursday night.

Yes, they broke down in protection at times, but overall the offensive line was very good and did an excellent job opening up holes in the running game.

That group- which consisted not only of the five starters, but of several key reserves- wore down the Georgia Tech front-seven and absolutely dominated in the trenches.
