In the fourth quarter, the Bulldogs got scoring runs from tailback Kregg Lumpkin and fullback Brannan Southerland along with one of kicker Brandon Coutu's three field goals. Georgia fell behind 21-3 in the second quarter, but held the Hokies to just a fourth-quarter field goal from then on. Stafford finished 9-of-21 for 129 yards and a touchdown after going just 3-for-9 in the first half.
