Georgia Tech quarterback TaQuon Marshall is like a gazelle in the open field.

In the second quarter of Saturday’s game against Duke, Marshall took a designed quarterback draw and ran 48 yards into Blue Devils’ territory at Wallace Wade Stadium.

Marshall’s offensive line opened up a massive hole for the junior quarterback, while the Yellow Jackets wide receivers added some key blocks to help Marshall maneuver down to the Duke 17.

The big-gainer eventually setup an 8-yard touchdown run by Marshall to put Georgia Tech up 20-13 late in the second quarter.
