Georgia Tech foils Hokies’ title hopes
ATLANTA – Virginia Tech might have lost its shot at a national championship.
Josh Nesbitt rushed for 122 yards and three touchdowns – the last of them tiptoeing down the sideline to finish off the fourth-ranked Hokies with 3 minutes left – as No. 19 Georgia Tech ran to a 28-23 win that threw the Atlantic Coast Conference race up for grabs while perhaps finishing off the league’s top contender in the national race.
Georgia Tech (6-1, 4-1 ACC) completed just one pass but ran for 309 yards out of its spread option offense.
Coincidentally, the Hokies (5-2, 3-1) opened the season with a 34-24 loss to Alabama in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff game, about a mile away at the Georgia Dome.
