BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Tobias Oliver's first career start at quarterback went better than even he could have expected.
Georgia Tech's backup ran for 215 yards and three touchdowns and the Yellow Jackets ran all over Virginia Tech for a 49-28 victory on Thursday night.
"I'm a little banged up but I feel pretty good," Oliver said after carrying the ball 40 times. "Tomorrow morning I'll feel it."
The Yellow Jackets (4-4, 2/3 ACC), playing without starter TaQuon Marshall, finished with 465 yards -- all on the ground. Jordan Mason also scored three times as Georgia Tech won its third straight against the Hokies and third straight in Lane Stadium -- without completing a pass.
