Hokies return to Atlanta looking for better result

ATLANTA (AP) - Virginia Tech hopes this trip to Atlanta goes better than the last one.
    Having played themselves back into the national championship race after losing their opener to Alabama, the fourth-ranked Hokies face what appears to be their last major hurdle of the regular season when they head south again to take on No. 19 Georgia Tech.
    Virginia Tech (5-1, 3-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) already played once in Atlanta this season, losing to the second-ranked Crimson Tide 34-24 in a neutral-site game at the Georgia Dome. Five straight wins have pushed the Hokies back into the national championship race.
