Toe meets leather
Toe Meets Leather refers to the 1990 United States college football game between Georgia Tech and the University of Virginia, won by Georgia Tech 41-38. The game, between #1 Virginia and #16 Georgia Tech, concluded with a 37-yard field goal by Scott Sisson with 7 seconds remaining. With the win, Georgia Tech would go on to claim the 1990 ACC championship and a share of the 1990 NCAA Division I-A national football championship.
==Background==
Georgia Tech football and basketball radio play-by-play announcer Al Ciraldo coined the phrase "Toe meets leather", with which he led off every football game; current Tech radio play-by-play announcer Brandon Gaudin continues this tradition with his pregame show.
The conference matchup of two undefeated teams in midseason drew great national interest. The game was televised nationally by CBS with Jim Nantz handling play-by-play duties. The night before the game, vandals broke into Scott Stadium and set fire to the Astroturf surface, burning a large midfield patch. The morning of the game, school officials questioned holding the game that day. Field personnel took spare turf from Virginia's baseball field and, after cutting out the burned sections, stitched it into the field as patches, enabling the game to be played as scheduled.
