ATLANTA -- There's something to be said about clean, efficient and decisive victories in ACC play, especially on unseasonably cold and blustery weather days in the South.

Here are four things we gleaned from Georgia Tech's 35-10 home rout of Virginia on Saturday, to the blue-and-gold delight of 46,000-plus windswept fans at Bobby Dodd Stadium:

(It's a long article, this is the recap)

1. THE RUSHING-YARDS DISCREPANCY JUST SCREAMS BLOWOUT ... WHEN PERUSING THE BOX SCORE

2. AS PRO PROPSECTS GO, RECEIVER DEANDRE SMELTER MAY BE CLOSER TO CALVIN JOHNSON AND DEMARYIUS THOMAS ... THAN STEPHEN HILL

3. GEORGIA TECH HAS NO REASON TO LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR A HEAD COACH

4. THE COASTAL DIVISION STANDINGS WERE ONE CHIP-SHOT FIELD GOAL FROM BEING A JUMBLED MESS -- IN A GOOD WAY

4A. WE COULDN'T END THIS PIECE WITHOUT ONE MORE FUN FACT

Of its four previous defeats this season, Virginia (4-5, 2-3 in ACC) had lost to UCLA, BYU, Duke and North Carolina by a combined total of 24 points.

Saturday's deficit: 25 points.
