    Tech is certainly on a roll. A 5-0 start will do that for you. Certainly, opening the season with dominating wins against the likes of Western Carolina and Middle Tennessee State didn't turn any heads. The 66-24 dismantling of Kansas got some attention. "Just wait until they get into the ACC portion of the schedule. No more cupcakes there," was heard from the skeptics. Well a 3-0 North Carolina team came to Atlanta and saw their fans head back home with a loss on their minds.
     Now, the Yellow Jackets have a road trip victory in their pockets as well after visiting Raleigh, North Carolina and picking apart NC State.
     Of course, they're not running up 60+ points on the most recent ACC teams, but a win is a win.
     The schedule is looking good for the next few weeks as well. Up next is a 2-2 Maryland  team coming off a 28-3 win over lowly Towson. In their other three games, they have a nice road win in Miami 32-24, a close 31-37 loss to West Virginia and an embarrassing 7-38 loss to Temple.
     It's a noon kickoff at Bobby Dodd Stadium. If you're not going to the game, catch it on ESPNU.
