The Jackets kept their perfect season alive with a 35-20 win over Virginia Tech on Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium. Tech moved to 6-0 (3-0 ACC) with the win, marking the program’s best start since 2011 and only the second time in the last 59 years that the Jackets have opened a season with six straight wins.
From the second toe met leather, Tech controlled the game. Quarterback Haynes King led the way with another strong performance, completing 20 of 24 passes for 213 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 60 yards and two scores. His 83% completion rate was the second-highest single-game mark in school history.
