The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets finished the 2016 season with a bang with a 28-27 victory over Georgia. It was Georgia Tech’s third straight win of the year and fifth win in the last six games. The Yellow Jackets sat at 3-3 before stringing off a number of key victories. It is a good end to what looked like a down year for them, they are 4-4 in ACC play.

The offense used four rushing touchdowns and 226 rushing yards to run past the Bulldogs for victory. The defense forced two turnovers, including an interception by linebacker Brant Mitchell as time expired. Mitchell finished with 8 total tackles in the game.

The Yellow Jackets won their season finale after late touchdown runs by running backs Dedrick Mills and Qua Searcy. Mills scored on a 5-yard run with 6:28 remaining to bring the Yellow Jackets within a possession. Searcy scored on a 6-yard run with 30 seconds left in the game. Kicker Harrison Butker sealed the victory with the extra point.
