ATLANTA – Geoff Collins knew Georgia Tech’s rainy day would come.

The coach had the Yellow Jackets prepared.

Jeff Sims threw a go-ahead 19-yard touchdown pass to fellow freshman Jahmyr Gibbs midway through the fourth quarter as Georgia Tech rallied from a two-touchdown deficit to beat Louisville 46-27 late Friday night.

With the rain falling, Louisville running backs lost three fumbles. The Jackets did not commit a turnover, and Collins looked back to their preparation for an explanation.

“Even though we have a great indoor facility, we intentionally when we experienced rain, we would make the offense go out and practice in the rain,” Collins said.
