Greg’s Game Grades: Virginia 27, Georgia Tech 17

Undermanned and with their backs to the wall, the Virginia Cavaliers needed to do a lot of things right to knock off #24 Georgia Tech on Saturday afternoon. To the delight of the 60,000-plus at Scott Stadium, they did.

Virginia held one of the nation’s most devastating wide receivers to a season-low 41 yards and held one of the top rushing duos in the ACC to half its normal output. The ‘Hoos converted 50% of their third-down opportunities against a team that was holding opponents to a 27% clip. Virginia posted 161 yards rushing against the 14th-best rushing defense in the land while netting 365 yards against the fourth-best defense in the conference. In the process, UVa scored as many touchdowns in one game as the Yellow Jacket defense had allowed in the last three contests combined.
