It was not always pretty, but Georgia Tech got a 21-point win over Temple on Saturday afternoon. In the 45-24 win over the Owls, Georgia Tech racked up over 300 yards rushing and played mostl good defense throughout the night.

The frustrating part for Georgia Tech was that after they went up 21-0 in the first quarter, their offense stalled out for the rest of the half. The Yellow Jackets totaled only nine yards in the second quarter and allowed Temple to hang around a bit longer than they should have. Still, a three-score win is a three-score win, and the Yellow Jackets are 4-0 for the first time since 2014.

So how did the Yellow Jackets grade out on PFF (Pro Football Focus)? Note, snap counts are in parentheses.
