ESPN RECAP

Justice Haynes scores 3 TDs in 44-11 Georgia Tech win over Mercer

ATLANTA -- , Justice Haynes rushed for 141 yards on 22 carries with three touchdowns , two rushing, one receiving , leading Georgia Tech to its first victory of the season, 44-11 over Mercer at Bobby Dodd Stadium. Georgia Tech (1-2) followed up home defeats to Colorado and Tennessee with an uneven performance for most of the first half, but pulled away thanks to Haynes and quarterback Alberto Mendoza . “I do think we’ve improved each week," Georgia Tech head coach Brent Key said. "That being said, it was a pretty low starting point, though.” The Yellow Jackets scored 10 points in the final two minutes before the break to take a 24-3 lead and added three more second-half touchdowns. Mendoza completed 15 of 21 passes for a season-high 249 yards, finding Javien Plummer and Debron Gatling for scoring strikes from 37 and 33 yards out. “The first half wasn’t our standard," Mendoza said.
