First Quarter


The game kicked off with the Yellow Jackets establishing an early lead, scoring 15 points while keeping the Hokies scoreless. The home team's defense was relentless, preventing any significant advances from Virginia Tech's offense.


Second Quarter


In response, the Hokies found their rhythm in the second quarter. Quarterback Kyron Drones connected for two touchdowns during this period, one of which was a remarkable 33-yard pass to tight end Ja'Ricous Hairston. Despite this effort, Georgia Tech managed to add another touchdown to maintain their lead at halftime.


Third Quarter


The third quarter saw both teams exchanging blows on offense. The Hokies' rushing game gained momentum as Marcellous Hawkins contributed significantly with his powerful runs totaling 82 yards on nine attempts. However, Georgia Tech's defense remained formidable and matched each advance by adding another touchdown to their tally.


Fourth Quarter


In the final quarter, Virginia Tech attempted a comeback but fell short as they only managed six additional points against Georgia Tech's seven. Punter Nick Veltsistas played an essential role by pinning three punts inside the opponent’s 20-yard line; however, it wasn't enough to turn the tide for his team.
