VIDEO: Citadel Upsets Georgia Tech in Overtime Thriller
By Ryan Giglio
The final two minutes of Saturday's Citadel-Georgia Tech game saw a back-and-forth battle, with Citadel taking the lead, and then Georgia Tech soon tying the score, with nary a pass thrown between the two squads. Firmly on upset alert, this one somehow snuck to OT with Tech having all the momentum...which they would soon squander.
