Ankle-breaking cuts, bone-jarring battles in the trenches and tough, hard-nosed football will likely be the story Saturday when Georgia Tech visits Scott Stadium to face Virginia as both teams show off their solid running game. Although Georgia Tech (2-1, 0-1 ACC) ranks first in the ACC in rushing yardage with 237 yards per game and Virginia (2-1, 2-0 ACC) ranks ninth in the ACC in rushing yardage with 109 yards per game this season, both teams' running games are centered around equally impressive running backs.
