TAYLORS — After suffering its first loss of the 2022 season against Blue Ridge, Liberty tried to get back in the win column last week, but the Eastside Eagles had other plans.

On the strength of 27 unanswered points to end the night after a slow start — and a mere four-point lead midway through the third quarter — the fourth-ranked Tigers ran away in the late stages against Georgia Tech for a 41-10 victory at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
The Tigers (1-0, 1-0 ACC) struggled with the Yellow Jackets (0-1, 0-1) a season ago in a narrow 14-8 win at Memorial Stadium, and it didn’t come easy again
