SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Georgia Tech didn’t need a secret weapon. It had Tashard Choice.

Choice rushed for a career-high 196 yards and two touchdowns and the Georgia Tech defense had little trouble with any of Notre Dame’s replacements for Brady Quinn, shutting down the running of Demetrius Jones and the passing of Evan Sharpley and Jimmy Clausen in beating Notre Dame 33-3 on Saturday.

Fighting Irish coach Charlie Weis kept his choice of starting quarterback secret until game time.

The only score for Notre Dame came on a 24-yard field goal by Brandon Walker in the third quarter. The Irish were held to minus-8 yards rushing.
