Georgia Tech went into Blacksburg and won for the fourth straight time because the defense was opportunistic, and Zach Pyron engineered two magnificent fourth quarter touchdown drives. There was luck going in both directions in this one: Virginia Tech scored on a punt return and a pick six, while Georgia Tech benefitted from four Hokie turnovers. Overall though, Georgia Tech was the better team and came away with that win.
