ATLANTA -- Beating state rival Georgia Southern wont make Georgia Techs season.
Cheap Adidas Capitals Jerseys .Even so, it
provided much-needed relief.Justin Thomas was the difference in the matchup of
spread-option offenses, running for two touchdowns and passing for another, and
Georgia Tech beat Georgia Southern 35-24 on Saturday to end a three-game losing
streak.Its definitely better than being on the other side, said Yellow Jackets
senior center Freddie Burden.Georgia Tech (4-3) enjoyed a dominant opening
quarter and put the game away with two fourth-quarter touchdowns. Dedrick Mills
had a 20-yard scoring run, his second of the game, with less than four minutes
remaining.Thomas had a season-high 172 yards passing and 78 rushing. Georgia
Tech gained 437 yards with three plays of at least 50 yards.Georgia Southern
coach Tyson Summers said this week he thought his defenses familiarity with the
option attack would help when preparing for Georgia Tech. But the super-quick
Thomas adds a different edge to the Yellow Jackets version of the spread
option.Its the speed and the cutting, Summers said. Those are the two things
that you cannot simulate.Burden said Thomas is just amazing, he is just one of a
kind.Georgia Southern (3-3) has lost three straight -- all on the road. The
Eagles rank sixth in the nation in rushing but managed only 167 yards -- more
than 100 below their average -- on 50 carries.It was a confidence-building win
as the Yellow Jackets look to end a 2-10 two-year skid in Atlantic Coast
Conference games, including a 1/3 ACC start this season.A 58-yard scoring run by
Thomas and a 65-yard scoring pass from Thomas to Clinton Lynch gave the Yellow
Jackets a 14-0 lead. A 50-yard run by Marcus Marshall set up Mills 6-yard
touchdown run for a 21-7 lead late in the first quarter.We came out fast like we
needed to, to put pressure on them, Thomas said.MEGA BOWFormer Georgia Tech
standout receiver Calvin Megatron Johnson was recognized at halftime for his
induction into the schools sports hall of fame on Friday night. The six-time Pro
Bowl player with the Detroit Lions retired after last season. He played at
Georgia Tech from 2004-06 as the schools all-time leader with 2,927 yards
receiving and 28 touchdown receptions.Among seven other inductees was former
basketball star Jarrett Jack, now with the Atlanta Hawks.UPSHAW UPDATEFavian
Upshaw drew the start in Georgia Southerns two-quarterback system. Upshaw
completed 8 of 16 passes for 66 yards and had 10 carries for 41 yards. Kevin
Ellison took over at quarterback when Upshaw had to leave the game for the
second time with an undisclosed injury.Summers did not have an immediate update
on Upshaw. Itll be easier for us to kind of tell tomorrow, he said.Ellison
completed 10 of 17 passes for 102 yards and a touchdown.THE TAKEAWAYGEORGIA
SOUTHERN: The Eagles strengths didnt match up well against Georgia Tech. Georgia
Southern leads the Sun Belt in total defense but couldnt stop Georgia Tech. L.A.
Ramsbys 1-yard scoring run in the first quarter gave the Eagles their only
touchdown until Ellisons 3-yard scoring pass to B.J. Johnson III with 1:03
remaining. Younghoe Koo kicked a 44-yard field goal in the second
quarter.GEORGIA TECH: The Yellow Jackets had the strong showing on both sides of
the ball they needed to regain momentum after last weeks last-second loss at
Pittsburgh. Thomas showed strong leadership as he didnt turn the ball over.
Corey Griffin had 10 tackles and a fourth-down sack to end the Eagles first
drive of the second half.UP NEXTGEORGIA SOUTHERN: The Eagles return to their Sun
Belt Conference schedule when they try to extend their two-game winning streak
against New Mexico State.GEORGIA TECH: The Yellow Jackets are off next week and
will play another home game against Duke on Oct. 29. Duke beat Georgia Tech
34-20 in 2015 for their second straight win in the ACC Coastal Division
rivalry.---AP college football website:

Mike Smith never saw his first NHL goal go in.
Adidas Andre Burakovsky Jersey . Dallas hasnt
ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but
all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role
after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first
that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging
interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo
dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006.

. Thousands of fans at Mosaic Stadium will be cozying up to each other in an
effort to stay warm in chilly temperatures and block the Prairie wind that
locals say can knock your socks off. MINNEAPOLIS -- New Minnesota Timberwolves
brass Tom Thibodeau and Scott Layden sat on the sideline through the first two
days of free agency as the big money players flew off the market. They dipped
their toes into the waters on Day 3 by making a value play for hometown boy Cole
Aldrich.The Timberwolves agreed to a three-year, $22 million contract with
Aldrich, a native of the Minneapolis suburb of Bloomington, a person with
knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press on Sunday. The person
spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the contract cannot be signed
until Thursday.Aldrich was a high school star in Bloomington before attending
college at Kansas. He was the 11th overall pick in 2010 and has played for
Oklahoma City, Houston, Sacramento, New York and the Clippers.The journeyman is
coming off his best season as a pro, when he was a valuable defensive presence
off the bench for the Clippers.He will slide into the big-man rotation in
Minnesota with Karl-Anthony Towns and Gorggui Dieng.
Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys. The Timberwolves
were in search of a backup big man with Nikola Pekovics foot issues derailing
his career and Kevin Garnetts future still up in the air.After other teams
splurged on the likes of Bismack Biyombo, Ian Mahinmi and Timofey Mozgov, the
Wolves went for a value play with Aldrich.The 7-foot Aldrich will give the
Wolves some muscle, defense and rebounding, which is exactly what Thibodeau was
looking for as he starts to install a culture built on defense and toughness in
Minnesota.The Timberwolves also were in talks with Pau Gasol, but signing
Aldrich as another big could have an affect on that prospect. Gasol was also
talking to San Antonio, Portland and Toronto, among other suitors.The Wolves
also started free agency looking for shooting and could still address that need,
perhaps with a backup to shooting guard Zach LaVine, in the coming days.
