"We stood in there stronger than we did a year ago.

But we're still a distance off." South Carolina gained 248 yards and drove into Tigers territory on eight of its 13 possessions. But the Gamecocks needed some help from Clemson, which had 301 total yards, to score a touchdown.

wmmmmm The Yellow NO 4 Jackets (9-o-i, 6" 0-1) have won 16 GEORGIA TECH of their games. Wake Forest (2-8, 0-7) has lost its last six games. Georgia Tech, the only unbeaten team in major college football, won its first football title since 1952, when they won the last of the school's five Southeastern Conference titles. That also was the last time that the Yellow Jackets finished a season unbeaten. Georgia Tech, which left the SEC in 1964, couldn't compete for the ACC title until 1983, four years after it joined the league.

The victory also made Bobby Ross the first coach to win titles at two ACC schools. Ross won three titles at Maryland from 1983 through 1985. "We're a bunch of guys who have hung together, been through some adversity together, team and coaches," said Ross. "For two years we did not win an ACC game. Then to come back and do what we've been able to do this season is very special for us." Late in the first quarter, George Coghill intercepted a pass by Shawn Jones, but was stripped of the ball on the return and Joe Sif fri recovered at the Wake Forest 40.

Six plays later, Carl Lawson scored on a 1-yard run at the start of the second quarter for a 21-0 lead. After a Wake Forest punt, Georgia Tech drove 80 yards in 12 plays, ending the drive on Rodriguez's 22-yard run on a reverse. Wake Forest averted a shutout when reserve quarterback Keith West teamed with Todd Dixon on a 69-yard scoring play midway through the fourth quarter.

Moore extended his throwing arm as he was tackled. Moore underwent surgery Saturday night. "We don't know what they'll find in there," Gieck said.
