Atlanta GA- The Georgia Tech Yellow jackets continue to show why they are the #1 ranked team in the nation. The manage to rally when down and even learn to progress as the season goes along. Just ask QB Jordan Luallen.
Luallen had his best passing performance of the season putting up 220 yards and a touchdown to go along with 105 yards and 3 touchdowns on the ground as the #1 GT Yellow Jackets won there 19th straight game in a 45-14 win over #8 Alabama.
"We were hoping that Jordan would start to show signs of Josh Nesbitt in him and he has started to show he can be a weapon at both ends" said Coach Millhimes.
Georgia Tech really didnt have much to worry about the whole game as they outgained the Crimson Tide 470-174. They also held Bama to just 1 3rd down conversion on 9 attempts. Bama also failed on two 4th down conversions. Tech's defense is showing its face again this year after leading the nation in sacks and INT's last year.
Tech also got 88 yards and a touchdown from fullback Richard Watson.

The scoring continued in the second as Bama produced 4 straight 4 and out series. Luallen again had a 4 yard rushing touchdown and capped the scoring with 11 seconds left with yet another 4 yard run to make it 28-0 at the half.
Bama got on the board in the third when Robert Green returned a Luallen pick 63 yards for a score. GT answered though the next drive on a 4 yard TD run by Watson.
