A quarter-by-quarter look at Georgia Tech’s 23-21 loss to Virginia Tech on Thursday at Bobby Dodd Stadium.
First quarter
Big play: On the game’s second play from scrimmage, a busted coverage off a play-action fake left wide receiver Ricky Jeune wide open for a career-long 58-yard reception on a second-and-1 from the Georgia Tech 34. B-back Marcus Allen, making his first career start, finished the drive with a four-yard touchdown run for a 7-0 lead at the 13:11 mark.
