ATLANTA, Sept. 4 (UPI) -- Josh Nesbitt rambled for 130 yards and three touchdowns Saturday, powering Georgia Tech to a season-opening 41-10 victory over South Carolina State.

The 17th-ranked Yellow Jackets (1-0) also got a pair of rushing touchdowns from Roddy Jones.

Nesbitt scored from a yard out with 14:40 to go in the second quarter, giving the Yellow Jackets a 13-3 lead after the extra point was blocked.

Later in the quarter, Georgia Tech marched 74 yards in nine plays, and a one-yard plunge by Jones made it 20-3 with 4:46 remaining before halftime. The Yellow Jackets breezed the rest of the way.

Malcolm Long completed 11-of-25 passes for 94 yards and ran for South Carolina State (0-1), the two-time defending MEAC champions.
