Recap: Hokies Come from Behind to Outlast Georgia Tech

The Virginia Tech Hokies outlast the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets coming from behind twice, one to tie, and one to inch ahead for the win. The final score 23-21 without any room to spare save a yellow hanky and a big sack.

If wins are to be described by commentary on beauty, this one would be homely. Not ugly, ugly is a 6-3 win in OT after a 3-3 tie. Homely is a win that both teams seemed to be more interested in giving the game away than winning it, so they all played down to expectations.

If there is one thing that is guaranteed in a Tech vs Tech football game, it's surprise ambushes and last minute desperation drives that either result in a score or fade off into a useless countdown.
