Season Report Posted: January 01, 2009 05:24
Though it wasn't always pretty, the Yellow Jackets found a way to win 5 games, a vast improvement over the 0-12 season of a year ago. Four of those wins came in ACC play, including the undisputed highlight of the season: a completely unexpected 24-17 upset of a Virginia Tech team that finished 8-5.
