ATLANTA, Nov. 14 (UPI) -- Josh Nesbitt and Jonathan Dwyer accounted for five touchdowns Saturday, fueling seventh-ranked Georgia Tech's 49-10 rout of Duke, its eight straight win.

Demaryius Thomas scored once on two receptions for 89 yards. Orwin Smith's 83-yard kickoff return keyed the Yellow Jackets' rally from an early 10-0 deficit and led them to 49 unanswered and the ACC Coastal Division title with their 10-1 ( 7-1 ACC) record.

Duke's Thaddeus Lewis completed 22-of-35 passes for 212 yards with a touchdown and one interception.

Re'quan Boyette scored once on six catches for 65 yards for the Blue Devils (5-5, 3-3), who rushed for only 25 net yards in their second straight loss.
