ATLANTA (AP) - Virginia Tech might have lost its shot at a
national championship on another doomed trip to Atlanta.
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 - all but 37 of those
yards coming in the second half.
Excuse Virginia Tech (5-2, 3-1) if it passes on any more trips
to Atlanta for a while. The Hokies 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.
