No. 11 Georgia Tech stomps Virginia

It was a drive that took forever, or at least it felt like it. Eighteen plays. Eighty-two yards. A game-sapping 10:47 off the clock, the longest in the 21 years that Georgia Tech has been regularly keeping such a stat.

There were 17 runs, only one pass, and it came on a rainy day at the start of the second half. It's a wonder Virginia had any energy left to keep playing.

The No. 11 Yellow Jackets ran through a downpour Saturday, piling up 362 yards rushing and holding the ball more than 42 minutes in a 34-9 victory over the Cavaliers, dispatching the last team with an unbeaten record in Atlantic Coast Conference play.
