#19 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Sting #4 Virginia Tech Hokies

After the first quarter, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets looked like they’d be fortunate to get a single touchdown against the Virginia Tech Hokies.  Over the ensuing three quarters, they were able to put up four of them in route to a 28-23 home conference victory.

Georgia Tech produced almost all of its yardage using the triple option.  Early in the game, the Virginia Tech defense was ready for each play that Georgia Tech attempted.  But as the game went on, GT made some adjustments that exposed VT’s over-aggressive defense.  The results were big runs by quarterback Josh Nesbitt and running back Johnathan Dwyer.

The win put the Yellow Jackets firmly in the driver’s seat to advance to the ACC Championship Game.  They now control their own destiny, and have few potentially-dangerous opponents remaining on their conference schedule.

The Hokies must now hope for a GT loss to get them into the conference title game as they bid for a third straight ACC title.
