The Yellow Jackets (2-1, 1-1 ACC) scored on their first four possessions and their spread option attack proved far too much for the Cavaliers (2-1, 0-1 ACC) to handle.

The Cavaliers defense, which had limited its first two opponents to an average of 74.5 rushing yards, gave up a whopping 461 yards on the ground and seven rushing touchdowns to the Yellow Jackets.
Everyone had a hand in the blowout for Tech, with 10 players getting at least one carry and six catching at least one pass.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Georgia Tech evened up the all-time series 17-17-1 and the home team has now won six of the last eight... Washington now ranks sixth all-time in rushing yards by an ACC quarterback, surpassing Steve Fuller and Joe Hamilton. ... The Yellow Jackets are now 14-5 in the months of August and September under head coach Paul Johnson.
