Georgia Tech Football: Game Recap - Jackets beat Eagles 17-14

Wow. What an ugly, amazing, terrible, fantastic game. Somewhere halfway through the 4th quarter I lost feeling in my feet, but it was all worth it. A rain-soaked and jet-lagged Georgia Tech squad overcame seemingly insurmountable odds to run away with a win in the final seconds of the game, winning its first game since the Miracle on Techwood Drive last year.

The offense struggled mightily against the vaunted Boston College defense, and the defense gave up some maddening plays, but the team showed that they have what it takes to win when it matters. Justin Thomas proved that he is one of the best players in this conference, and Dedrick Mills showed maturity beyond his years, winning the game after a fumble that nearly lost the game for the Jackets.
