This time last week, Georgia Tech was coming off an embarrassing loss to North Carolina and staring down the barrel at a trip to Lane Stadium to face #14 Virginia Tech. The Yellow Jacket defense was among the worst in the nation. The offense looked sloppy against the Tar Heels and was facing old nemsis Bud Foster. Optimism was low.
On Wednesday, the school announced that leading rusher and starting B-back Dedrick Mills would be suspended for two games.
On Thursday night, Duke upset North Carolina, meaning Virginia Tech would have an opportunity to clinch the Coastal division title with a win.
