Georgia took a page out of Georgia Tech's playbook, rushing for 339 yards to upset the seventh-ranked Yellow Jackets 30-24 Saturday night and put a real damper on the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship Game.
Washaun Ealey rushed for 183 yards, while Caleb King rambled for 166 yards and two touchdowns as the Bulldogs (7-5) reclaimed state bragging rights in a disappointing year and handed the Yellow Jackets (10-2) a huge setback in what has been their best season in nearly two decades.
Georgia Tech's loss completed a dismal day for the two teams that will meet next Saturday in Tampa for the ACC title.
Earlier, Clemson was blown out by South Carolina 34-17.
