Yellow Jackets Stifle Tar Heels in 24-7 Decision

Posted Sep 26, 2009
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets didn't like falling out of the Top 25 with their first loss, so they made a point with a lopsided victory against another ranked opponent. Josh Nesbitt ran for two touchdowns and Georgia Tech held the ball for 42 minutes, its highest total in 13 years, to beat No. 22 North Carolina 24-7 on Saturday. Georgia Tech was ranked No. 14 before its 33-17 loss at Miami last week. (Tar Heel Blue)
