Social Media Reacts to Georgia Tech's Stunning Upset Over North Carolina

Georgia Tech pulled the upset of the day by beating North Carolina on the road

In what turned out to be the upset of the day around the country, Georgia Tech went on the road as three-touchdown underdogs and with their third and fourth-string quarterbacks, beat the 13th-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels. 

North Carolina came into this game with a Heisman Trophy candidate at quarterback Drake Maye and the top-scoring offense in the ACC. The Georgia Tech defense, led by Keion White (Three sacks), controlled this offense after they got out to a 17-0 lead.

The offensive performance with Zach Gibson and Taisun Phommachanh deserves a ton of credit. It was not an out-of-this-world performance, but winning a game with your third and fourth-string quarterbacks is an accomplishment in itself. 

The much-maligned offensive line did enough in this game to lead the rushing and it was just a great win for Brent Key and this staff. 

Whenever you have an upset of this caliber, you know the social media reaction is going to be crazy around the college football world, and here are some of the reactions from Georgia Tech pulling the win off tonight.

Shout out to Georgia Tech for ending any extremely remote chance of a not-very-good UNC slinking into the playoff.

UNC's defense got pushed around by a makeshift Georgia Tech offensive line on that final drive. Georgia Tech wins 21-17 over No. 13 UNC in Chapel Hill with Heels a three-touchdown favorite.

Brent Key has done a very solid job as Georgia Tech interim coach. Down goes Carolina and their CFP longshot.
