G-Tech has played above their talent level, and their defense isn't good at all, so it shouldn't be that big of a surprise for a midlevel SEC team to beat a top ACC team (the ACC is garbage).
I don't know if Mark Richt is a genius or a criminal. He's obviously fighting for his job after yet another year of underachievement, and the only way Georgia would lose to Tech is if Tech's offense simply outscored Georgia's. So, good work by Georgia to, IMO, intentionally injure Nesbitt early in the game. Tech never really recovered, because they lost basically an entire quarter of offensive production without Nesbitt. They also tried to take out Thomas by impaling him onto the yardage marker 5 yards out of bounds. Weak sauce.
