Wow, what a game this afternoon between my Alma Mater, Georgia Tech and our arch rival Georgia. It has been 7 long years since we beat them, so this was sweet. Even the commentators on CBS were talking about what a classic game it was and how Tech came out after halftime and schooled Georgia on what the triple option offense was capable of. From MSNBC Sports-

ATLANTA – The Georgia Tech players gathered in front of their small contingent of fans in a corner of Sanford Stadium. They sang the “Ramblin’ Wreck” fight song. They bounced up and down. Then pinched off pieces of the famous hedge that surrounds the field.

This was a celebration eight years in the making.

The Yellow Jackets unleashed their triple-option offense on Georgia with devastating results Saturday. Roddy Jones rushed for a career-best 214 yards and a couple of touchdowns. Jonathan Dwyer ran for 144 and two scores of his own. When it was done, No. 18 Georgia Tech had overcome a 16-point halftime deficit to stun the 13th-ranked Bulldogs 45-42, its first win in the series since 2000.
