Final Score: Georgia Tech 41, (23) Miami-Florida 23

Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - Jonathan Dwyer rushed for 128 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and Georgia Tech rolled up 472 yards on the ground in a 41-23 romp of 23rd-ranked Miami-Florida.

Quarterback Josh Nesbitt ran for 93 yards and a score for Georgia Tech (8-3, 5-3 ACC), which beat the Hurricanes for the fourth straight time. Georgia Tech now has a lead over the Hurricanes in the Coastal Division of the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Despite being atop the division and having already finished their conference schedule, the Yellow Jackets are not guaranteed a spot in the ACC title game. North Carolina, Virginia Tech and Virginia are all 3-3 and all three hold the tiebreaker over the Yellow Jackets with head-to-head wins earlier in the season.

Georgia Tech plays Georgia next Saturday in its regular season finale. UNC has NC State and Duke left on its ACC schedule, while Virginia plays Clemson and Virginia Tech. The Hokies play Duke this Saturday before the game against the Cavaliers.

"Well, we've done all we can do tonight," said Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson. "It's like I told our guys, when we wake up in the morning, we'll be in first place, because we finished our games. We're 5-3 and the best anybody else can do is 5-3. Who knows how it's going to work out with all the tie- breakers and with everything involved. But I know this. At the end of the year, we'll at least be co-champs, tri-champs, quad-champs, we'll be something. Nobody's going to have a better record. We might lose the tie- breaker, but we'll have a piece of the championship in our division."

The Yellow Jackets, on the strength of their option offense, had four players with at least 75 yards on the ground. Roddy Jones had 97 yards and Lucas Cox ran for 78 more and a touchdown.

Jacory Harris connected on 13-of-18 passes for 162 yards and a pair of touchdowns against one interception for the Hurricanes (7-4, 4-3), who had a five-game winning streak broken. Robert Marve completed 10-of-20 passes for 121 yards with a TD and was picked off once.

"Guys weren't playing assignments," said Miami coach Randy Shannon. "We had a guy on the fullback all the time. Early in the game, we were stopping the fullback. Like anything, when you have some success, guys start taking chances because they think they're not going to run that play. All week long, we preached to them that you have to stay assignment football. Big plays come from assignment football when guys don't do their jobs. When big busts happen, big plays come on the option."

Scott Blair kicked a 21-yard field goal with 5:53 left in the opening quarter. Defensive end Michael Johnson then picked off Marve early in the second and his 26-yard return made it 10-0.

Matt Bosher nailed a 24-yard field goal with 6:19 left before halftime, but only 18 seconds later Dwyer scored on a 58-yard run. Nesbitt's 54-yard run, followed a short time later by Dwyer's six-yard TD rush moved the advantage to 24-3 with two minutes left in the half.

Blair split the uprights from 30 yards out early in the third before Marve threw 18 yards to Dedrick Epps to account for Miami's first touchdown.

The Yellow Jackets kept rolling, though, as Nesbitt scored on a four-yard run and Cox found the end zone on a 32-yard scamper for a 41-10 cushion with 2:07 remaining in the third.

Harris hit Leonard Hankerson with 13-yard score early in the fourth, and Kayne Farquharson caught a 25-yard TD pass with 1:16 remaining.
