Atlanta, GA -- (Sports Network) - Jonathan Dwyer finished with 141 yards rushing and a touchdown as he helped lead the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets to a 38-7 victory over the Mississippi State Bulldogs in non-conference play at Bobby Dodd Stadium.

Dwyer, who established a new Georgia Tech (3-1) record with an 88-yard TD run, carried the ball nine times for a team that generated an amazing 438 yards on the ground in the contest. Quarterback Jaybo Shaw, who had a rushing touchdown of his own, completed just 3-of-7 for 43 yards and a TD through the air.

The Bulldogs (1-3) were paced by Anthony Dixon who gained 94 yards on 13 rushing attempts, although 71 of those came on a single run. Quarterbacks Tyson Lee and Wesley Carroll combined to hit 31-of-50 for 299 yards, but the former was sacked three times and the latter picked off twice. Brandon McRae caught a game-high 10 passes for 102 yards.

Georgia Tech ripped off 38 unanswered points on the day and never looked back, beginning with a seven-yard TD run by Embry Peeples at the 9:55 mark of the first quarter.

Less than four minutes later Shaw connected with Demaryius Thomas on a 20-yard TD strike, boosting the advantage to 14-0.

Midway through the second period the Yellow Jackets struck again, this time with a 25-yard touchdown run by Shaw, giving the home team a 21-0 lead at the break.

Dwyer's record-setting touchdown run in the third quarter got the ball rolling for the Yellow Jackets yet again, with a 29-yard field goal by Scott Blair capping a six-play, 53-yard drive later in the period.

Greg Smith's 45-yard scamper into the end zone for GaTech in the fourth quarter was the final nail in the coffin, putting the Yellow Jackets up by a score of 38-0.

Mississippi State posted an insignificant touchdown with 8:09 to play as Robert Elliott carried the ball into the end zone from six yards out.

Despite coming up with 407 yards of total offense, the Bulldogs hurt themselves with four turnovers on the afternoon.

The rushing total for Tech was the most since 1978 and the fifth-highest total in program history as well.
