Georgia Tech’s 30-27 victory over Virginia was a nail-biter to the very end, with the Jackets emerging victorious after Virginia’s kicker missed a 35-yard field goal from the right hash that would’ve sent the game to double overtime. The offense wasn’t particularly impressive, compiling just 304 total yards and gaining just 13 first downs in the game (compared to Virginia’s 24). The defense and special teams, however, stepped up huge on consecutive plays in the 1st Quarter, with Brant Mitchell sacking UVA quarterback Bryce Perkins in the endzone for a safety and Juanyeh Thomas returning the ensuing free kick 77 yards for a touchdown.
