It is always nice to get national media recognition and after the crazy week this team had, they earned it from ESPN's top college football analyst. 

Just days after firing Geoff Collins as the head coach, Georgia Tech was facing the tall task of going on the road and beating the defending ACC champions. The Panthers were three-touchdown favorites in this game and most thought they were going to win decisively. 

Georgia Tech forced three turnovers and kicker Gavin Stewart was 4-4 from field goal range, not to mention running back Hassan Hall having over 150 yards rushing. The Yellow Jackets held off a late charge from Pitt and sprung the upset. 

Georgia Tech faces Duke this weekend for their homecoming game and will look to win their second consecutive game, something that Collins could never do while the head coach at Georgia Tech.
