(Sports Network) - Josh Nesbitt's three-yard run in overtime sent
10th-ranked Georgia Tech past Wake Forest, 30-27, at Dodd Stadium.

Wake Forest's opening possession of the extra session ended with Jimmy
Newman's 34-yard field goal and a 27-24 contest.

On Georgia Tech's first drive, Nesbitt gained five on a 3rd-and-6 from the 10-
yard-line, but, instead of a field goal, opted to try and pull the Demon
Deacons offside on fourth down to no avail. Following a timeout, Nesbitt
picked up the first down on a two-yard sneak, then kept it himself on the next
play to end the game.

Nesbitt was only 4-of-14 passing for 51 yards and an interception but rushed
for 54 yards and two scores for the Yellow Jackets (9-1, 6-1 ACC), who have
reeled off seven consecutive wins.

Jonathan Dwyer led all rushers with 189 yards and one touchdown on 23 carries,
and Preston Lyons added a rushing TD in the victory.

Riley Skinner finished 26-of-40 for 263 yards and a pair of touchdowns for the
Demon Deacons (4-6, 2-4), losers of four straight.

Marshall Williams posted 111 yards on eight receptions, while Devon Brown had
seven catches for 62 yards and two TDs in defeat.
