Both teams were crazy-efficient here, on both standard downs and passing downs, and field position was reasonably even. So the game boiled down to turnovers and finishing drives (like seemingly every other game in Week 7). Duke won both of those battles handily, forcing Georgia Tech to settle for three field goals, picking a ball off at its 5, and dabbling in a little bit of turnovers luck.
