The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and the Virginia Cavaliers will face off in an ACC battle at 2:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at David A. Harrison III Field at Scott Stadium.

Even though North Carolina scored an imposing 42 points on Saturday, Georgia Tech still came out on top. Georgia Tech managed a 46-42 win over North Carolina. The win came about thanks to a strong surge starting at the 4:30 mark of the first quarter, when they were facing a 14-0 deficit.

Haynes King continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, throwing for 287 yards and four touchdowns while completing 76.7% of his passes, and also rushing for 90 yards on only eight carries.

Another player making a difference was Dontae Smith, who rushed for 178 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.1 yards per carry.

Meanwhile, Virginia might have drawn first blood against Miami (FL) on Saturday, but it was Miami (FL) who got the last laugh. Virginia fell just short of Miami (FL) by a score of 29-26. Despite 101 more yards than Miami (FL), Virginia couldn't convert that extra yardage to scores.
