ATLANTA -- What do you call a quarterback who only completes one pass in a huge home game against a top five team?
The star of the game.
Josh Nesbitt was just one-for-seven Saturday night, but the junior led Georgia Tech's vaunted spread-option, rush-heavy attack to a rare outburst against a strong Virginia Tech defense. He carried a team-high 23 times for a game-best 122 yards and three touchdowns, including the capper with just three minutes left from 39 yards out that sealed the 28-23 defeat of the No. 4 Hokies at Bobby Dodd Stadium.
Thousands of frenzied fans rushed onto the field moments after the school's first home win over a top-five team in nearly 50 years. Georgia Tech improved to 6-1 overall and 4-1 in the ACC, and sent Tech, who many thought still had a good chance for a spot in the national championship game, to 5-1 and 3-2.
