 CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) - Marques Hagans led Virginia on two scoring drives after it squandered a 17-point lead Saturday and the Cavaliers became bowl eligible by beating No. 24 Georgia Tech for the fourth consecutive season, 27-17.
Virginia (6-3, 3-3 Atlantic Coast Conference), playing without two defensive starters and a key reserve after they were suspended during the week for violating team rules, got two first-quarter touchdown runs from Wali Lundy in building a 17-0 lead.
Georgia Tech (6-3, 4-3) rallied to get even on Reggie Ball's 24-yard touchdown pass to Damarius Bilbo in the third quarter, but Hagans led one drive that led to Connor Hughes' 47-yard field goal, then hit Deyon Williams for a 21-yard touchdown with 9:03 left.
