Georgia upsets Ga. Tech

»  Comments | Post a Comment

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.

NO. 14 VA. TECH 42,

VIRGINIA 13

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - Ryan Williams ran for 182 yards and four touchdowns and No. 14 Virginia Tech (9-3, 6-2 ACC) beat Virginia (3-9, 2-6) in what was likely Al Groh's last game as Virginia's coach.

N.C. STATE 28,

NO. 23 N. CAROLINA 27

RALEIGH, N.C. - Russell Wilson threw four touchdown passes and Alan-Michael Cash blocked a field goal with about 5 minutes left to help North Carolina State rally past North Carolina.

Wilson connected twice with Owen Spencer for scores, including the go-ahead 38-yard touchdown two plays into the fourth quarter that gave the Wolfpack (5-7, 2-6) a third straight win against its next-door neighbors and fiercest football rival.

T.J. Yates threw two touchdown passes to Jheranie Boyd for the Tar Heels (8-4, 4-4).

WAKE FOREST 45,

DUKE 34

DURHAM, N.C. - Wake Forest's Riley Skinner passed for a career-high 372 yards and a school-record five touchdowns.

Skinner completed 28 of 38 passes and did not throw an interception for the Demon Deacons (5-7, 3-5), who ended their season by snapping a five-game losing streak.

Devon Brown caught a pair of TD passes to help Wake Forest get its 10th consecutive win over Duke.

Thaddeus Lewis passed for 387 yards, three TDs and an interception for the Blue Devils (5-7, 3-5), who ended the season on a four-game skid after starting the season 5-3.

BC 19, MARYLAND 17

COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Montel Harris ran for 142 yards, Dave Shinskie threw a 66-yard touchdown pass, and Boston College (8-4, 5-3) beat Maryland (2-10, 1-7) to seal the Terrapins' first 10-loss season.
