TECH VS. THE ACC DIVISIONS


Paul “Bear” Bryant National Coach of the Year Candidate� Paul Johnson, the 2008 ACC Coach of the Year and CBSS-ports.com National Coach of the Year, is in his second season atGeorgia Tech.

� A 1979 Western Carolina graduate, Johnson previouslycoached at Navy for six seasons, compiling a record of 45-29 andleading the Midshipmen to five consecutive Commander-in-Chief’sTrophies.

� Before arriving at Navy, Johnson coached five seasons at Georgia Southern, from 1997-2001,compiling a 62-10 (.861) record. He won two straight NCAA I-AA national championships (1999,2000) and five straight Southern Conference titles.

� After a 2-10 record in his first season at Navy (2002), Johnson has led Navy and Georgia Techto a combined six consecutive winning seasons and six straight bowl games.

� Sports Illustrated projected Georgia Tech to win just three games in 2008, Johnson’s first sea-son on the Flats. Johnson, however, led the Yellow Jackets to nine wins, a share of the ACC CoastalDivision title, a No. 22 national ranking, and an appearance in the Chick-fil-A Bowl.

� Johnson’s first-year success at Georgia Tech is even more remarkable because the 2008 Yel-low Jackets, one of college football’s youngest teams, had to learn completely new offensive anddefensive schemes.

Scott Blair threw a touchdown pass off a fake field goal, then booted a 36-yard kick with 57 seconds remaining as the 15th-ranked Yellow Jackets ralliedto beat Clemson 30-27 after squandering a 24-point lead.

Georgia Tech (2-0, 1-0 ACC) pulled itself back from the brink of a potentiallydevastating loss that looked like an easy victory early on. The Yellow Jacketsraced to a 24-0 lead 4 1/2 minutes into the second quarter.

But Clemson (1-1, 0-1) scored 27 straight points, taking its first lead of thenight on Richard Jackson's 53-yard field goal with 11:33 to go.

Georgia Tech, which did nothing offensively through most of the second andthird quarters, finally regrouped for a 69-yard drive that set up Blair's tying kick,a 34-yarder with 5:40 left. Then, after a holding penalty on Clemson's ThomasAustin wiped out Kyle Parker's 38-yard completion to Jacoby Ford, the YellowJackets got a chance to win it.

2009 Game Summaries

Josh Nesbitt rushed for 122 yards and three touchdowns -- the last of themtiptoeing down the sideline to finish off the fourth-ranked Hokies with 3 minutesleft -- as No. 19 Georgia Tech ran to a 28-23 win that threw the Atlantic CoastConference race up for grabs while perhaps finishing off the league's top con-tender in the national race.

Georgia Tech completed just one pass but ran for 309 yards out of its spreadoption offense -- all but 37 of those yards coming in the second half.

Nesbitt made up for a fumble that gave Virginia Tech life by finishing off theclinching drive with his best run of the night.

On third-and-7 from the Hokies 39, the quarterback ran to his left, saw twodefenders peel away to shadow potential pitch targets, turned up through ahuge hole and managed to stay in bounds along the sideline, even when DorianPorch gave him one last shove around the 5.

Nesbitt has run for six touchdowns over the last two weeks, also scoringthree times in a 49-44 victory over Florida State. It was the fifth time this sea-son the quarterback rushed for more than 90 yards.

The drive was Tech’s longest, in terms of time elapsed, in at least 21 years.The Yellow Jackets ran through a downpour Saturday, piling up 362 yards

rushing and holding the ball more than 42 minutesWith an option attack already ranked second in the nation in rushing yards

entering the game, Georgia Tech put on a ball control clinic on each of its fourtouchdown drives: a 10-play, 60-yard march in the second quarter; the 10:47marathon in the third; an 11-play, 66-yard put-the-game away possession in thefourth; and a didn't-really-matter 10-play, 71-yard finisher near the very end.Quarterback Josh Nesbitt threw only two passes on those four drives.

Georgia Tech broke an eight-game Charlottesville losing streak, winning at Vir-ginia for the first time since 1990, the year the Yellow Jackets claimed a shareof the national title.

No. 10 Georgia Tech pulled off a gutsy play on fourth down after failing fourtimes during regulation, and Josh Nesbitt ended it with a 3-yard touchdown runthat pushed the Yellow Jackets to the cusp of the ACC championship game witha 30-27 victory over Wake Forest.

Jonathan Dwyer rushed for a career-best 189 yards and went over 1,000yards for the season, but it was Nesbitt and the guys on the defensive side whobailed out the Yellow Jackets at the end.

After stifling Wake Forest on the first possession of OT, forcing a field goal,Georgia Tech drove to the 5 where it faced fourth-and-less-than-a-yard.

Instead of sending on Scott Blair for a chip-shot field goal to extend the game,Johnson decided to go for the win right there. Nesbitt lowered his head andpowered up the middle for a 2-yard gain. He scored on the very next play, bounc-ing off right tackle to go in standing before he flipped the ball high in the air andraised both arms in triumph. The entire team poured onto the field to celebrate.

The Bulldogs reclaimed state bragging rights in a tumultuous year andhanded the Yellow Jackets a huge setback in what has been their best season innearly two decades. The nation's second-best rushing team was held to 205yards - 109 below its average.

Georgia set the tone right from the opening kickoff. The first 10 plays, allruns, including a 35-yarder by Ealey and a 6-yard touchdown for King. The offen-sive line was dominating, pushing around the Yellow Jackets to open one big holeafter another.

High-scoring Georgia Tech, averaging 36 points a game, looked out of syncthroughout the first half.
