Trelain Maddox's late TD, Duke missed FG gives Yellow Jackets first ACC win of season.

Trelain Maddox ran for 81 yards and three touchdowns, including a game-winning score with 54 seconds left, as Georgia Tech pulled off an upset 28-25 victory over Duke at Bobby Dodd Stadium on Saturday. Georgia Tech drove 61 yards in 8 plays and 1:38 to take the lead. Despite Duke driving deep into the Yellow Jackets' territory in the final minute, kicker Gavin Strange missed a 33-yard field goal attempt with five seconds remaining.

Georgia Tech quarterback Alberto Mendoza, the brother of last year's Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza, completed 23 of his 30 passes for 218 yards and a touchdown. Jordan Allen had 10 catches for 99 yards, including a touchdown. Duke's Nate Sheppard, who entered the game as the fourth nationally ranked rusher, accumulated 99 rushing yards and two touchdowns, along with 91 receiving yards.

Penalty troubles continued to plague Duke, as they ranked 124th nationally in penalties and took six for 71 yards against Georgia Tech. Both Georgia Tech's first-half touchdown drives were aided by Duke's three third-down penalties, and a personal foul penalty added 15 yards to their final touchdown drive. Georgia Tech finally secured their first ACC win of the season, ending a six-game losing streak against FBS opponents since last season.

Upcoming, Duke will face off against their rival North Carolina next Saturday, while Georgia Tech travels to Virginia Tech next Saturday.
