What To Look For In Spring Practice • A New Look On Defense -- Georgia Tech will install a 3-4 defense this spring under new defensive coordinator Al Groh. Groh is one of three new coaches on the defensive side of the ball. Andy McCollum, who came to Tech from NC State, will coach the defensive line. Joe Speed, who came to Tech from Navy, will coach inside linebackers. Charles Kelly, who coached the cornerbacks last season, will coach the secondary. • Finding A Back-Up Quarterback -- With senior All-ACC quarterback Josh Nesbitt sitting out spring drills to recover from ankle injury, and now that sophomore Jaybo Shaw has indicated he will transfer to Georgia Southern, the back-up quarterback spot is wide open. Sophomore Tevin Washington, who saw brief action last season, is a candidate. Two redshirt freshmen -- Jordan Luallen and David Sims -- will also compete for the position. Who else will Paul Johnson look at? There’s the possibility of Quintin Sims, a sophomore wide receiver by trade, who played QB in practice part of last season. And there is true freshman B.J. Bostic, who enrolled at Tech in January and is listed as an “athlete”. Bostic can play a number of positions. In the fall, true freshman Sunjyn Days comes on board. • Replacing The Stars -- Four Yellow Jacket juniors -- safety Morgan Burnett, B-back Jonathan Dwyer, defensive end Derrick Morgan and wide receiver Demaryius Thomas -- announced in January that they were leaving Georgia Tech for the NFL. While all four players will be missed greatly, their absence presents opportunities for others. Senior Anthony Allen will move from A-back to B-back to replace Dwyer. Thomas will likely be replaced by sophomore Stephen Hill, who has potential to be a star at wide receiver. • The Medical Report -- Seven Yellow Jackets will miss part or all of spring practice with injuries. Senior Ben Anderson, a starter at defensive tackle most of 2009, will not practice this spring. Senior Robert Hall, who started the first three games of 2009 at defensive end, is also out. Senior quarterback Josh Nesbitt will miss spring drills to recover from ankle surgery. Junior Preston Lyons, the top back-up to Jonathan Dwyer

SPRING GAME

at B-back last fall, is out with a shoulder injury. Junior linebacker Kyle Jackson, who missed all of 2009 with an injury, will see limited action this spring. Sophomore offensive tackle Phil Smith is questionable, as is Alabama transfer A-back Chris Jackson. • Cooper Taylor Returns -- Safety Cooper Taylor, who missed the final 11 games of the 2009 season after being diagnosed with Wolff-WhiteParkinson Syndrome, is expected to return. Taylor’s return could help offset the loss of safety Morgan Burnett, who departed for the NFL following his junior season. Taylor joins seniors Dominique Reese and Mario Edwards to give the Yellow Jackets three very experienced safeties. Junior Rashaad Reid, who can play any position in the secondary, also returns. • Building An Offensive Line -- Georgia Tech lost two senior starters on the offensive line -- guard Cord Howard and tackle Brad Sellers. Starting guard Joseph Gilbert will transfer at the end of the spring semester. That leaves two returning starters -- senior All-ACC center Sean Bedford and senior tackle Austin Barrick. Sophomore Phil Smith, a possible starter, is questionable for the spring with an injury. Other experienced returnees include junior tackle Nick Claytor and sophomore guard Omoregie Uzzi. Tech, however, redshirted a number of talented freshmen last season including Jay Finch, Will Jackson, Ray Beno and Antonio Foster. • Specialists Return -- Georgia Tech returns its starting kicker, senior Scott Blair, and starting punter, Chandler Anderson. Blair connected on 70 percent of his field goal attempts last season. Anderson didn’t punt that often, but he averaged 42.3 yards per attempt to rank third in the ACC. • Deep At Running Back -- The Yellow Jackets return a great deal of depth at both the B-back and A-back positions. Although Dwyer has departed for the NFL, Tech should be strong at B-back with Anthony Allen moving over from A-back, Preston Lyons, Richard Watson, Lucas Cox, Daniel Drummond and true freshman Charles Perkins. Tech returns starting A-back Roddy Jones and top reserves Embry Peeples, Marcus Wright and Orwin Smith. Chris Jackson is listed as questionable this spring with an injury.

Yellow Jackets Played In 13th Consecutive, 38th Total Bowl Game Georgia Tech played in a bowl game for the 13th consecutive season, tying for the fourthlongest current streak nationally. The Yellow Jackets played in their 38th bowl game overall (22-16 record). Only 11 teams in college football have more bowl game appearances. Tech’s bowl winning percentage (.579) is one of the highest in college football.

Tech Played In Major/BCS Bowl Game For First Time Since 1967 Georgia Tech, despite much success throughout history, played in a major/BCS bowl game for the first time since playing in the Jan. 2, 1967 Orange Bowl. That game -- a 27-12 loss to Florida -- was Bobby Dodd’s final game as Tech’s head coach. The Yellow Jackets were the first college football team to win games in the Orange, Sugar, Cotton and Rose bowls. Even in the Jackets' most recent national championship season of 1990, Tech did not play in a major bowl game. That season Tech defeated Nebraska in the Florida Citrus Bowl.

Yellow Jackets Played In Orange Bowl For The Sixth Time Georgia Tech played in the Orange Bowl for the sixth time, where it has a 3-3 record.

Georgia Tech’s Recruiting Class Includes 18 Prospects Georgia Tech’s 18-man recruiting class for 2010, announced Feb. 3 by head coach Paul Johnson, includes 15 highly-touted prospects who signed letters of intent and three studentathletes who enrolled at Tech in January. The 2010 class has a strong in-state flavor with 14 signees hailing from the state of Georgia. It marks the second straight year the Yellow Jackets have signed 14 in-state products, their most in at least 20 years. Tech addressed every position group within the class, including five defensive backs, three defensive linemen, two offensive linemen and two A-backs. Many members of the recruiting class, however, are versatile enough to play a number of positions or on either side of the ball. “I am excited about this group,” Johnson said. “I feel like we signed a number of players who will be able to help us sooner than later. “We addressed needs at every position and we signed a number of players who are extremely athletic and versatile.”

Tech Made An Impact On The ACC Record Books In 2009

Morgan Named ACC Defensive Player Of The Year

• Georgia Tech rushed for 47 touchdowns to break the ACC single-season record of 39 rushing TDs set by North Carolina in 1993. • Tech rushed for 4,136 yards, breaking the ACC single-season record of 3,552 yards the Yellow Jackets set in 2008. • Georgia Tech had 792 rushing attempts, breaking the ACC single-season record of 744 held by Wake Forest in 1971. • The Yellow Jackets produced 213 first downs via rushing, breaking the ACC single-season record of 195 by Wake Forest in 1971. • Tech and Florida State broke an ACC record for most points by two teams in a half (63 in first half). • Junior Demaryius Thomas averaged 25.1 yards per reception, which was the highest in ACC history. • Junior quarterback Josh Nesbitt rushed for 1,037 yards, falling 25 yards short of breaking the ACC record for rushing yards by a QB. The ACC record is 1,061 yards by Clemson’s Woodrow Dantzler in 2001. • Nesbitt scored 108 points last season, falling eight points short of tying the ACC record for points scored by a junior. The ACC record for points by a junior is 116 by Florida State’s Sebastian Janikowski in 1999.

Georgia Tech junior defensive end Derrick Morgan was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Defensive Player of the Year. Morgan is the first Yellow Jacket to win ACC Defensive Player of the Year honors.

At Least Five Yellow Jackets Are Expected To Be Taken In NFL Draft Burnett, Dwyer, Morgan, Thomas and senior guard Cord Howard are all expected to be selected in the NFL draft. Linebacker Sedric Griffin could give Georgia Tech six players taken in one draft. The last time Tech had five players taken in one draft came in 2004 (Daryl Smith, Tony Hargrove, Keyaron Fox, Nat Dorsey and Jonathan Smith). Five Yellow Jackets were also taken in the 1992 draft. Seven Tech players were taken in the 1979 draft, but that included three players who were drafted in rounds 11 or 12.

Georgia Tech Places Six On All-ACC First Team Georgia Tech placed five offensive players and six players overall -- Tech’s most selections since 2001 -- on the 2009 All-ACC first-team. Named to the first team were quarterback Josh Nesbitt, running back Jonathan Dwyer, receiver Demaryius Thomas, guard Cord Howard, center Sean Bedford and defensive end Derrick Morgan. Junior safety Morgan Burnett landed a spot on the All-ACC second team. Junior linebacker Brad Jefferson was named honorable mention, giving the Jackets a total of eight honorees.

Time Of Possession: Maybe Not A Misleading Statistic After All • Georgia Tech finished third nationally in time of possession (33:49). • During Georgia Tech’s eight-game winning streak, the Yellow Jackets dominated time of possession, having the ball an average of 36 minutes, 25 seconds per game. • Tech lost the time of possession battle in all three losses. • Over the last 20 years, Tech has produced a time-of-possession of 38:22 or better six times. Four of those came this year. • In the win over Virginia (Oct. 24), Tech held the ball for 42:43 -- the most time of possession by the Yellow Jackets in at least 20 years. • Tech held the ball for more than two-thirds of the game -- 42:06 -- in the win over North Carolina (Sept. 26). • Virginia and North Carolina had just 44 offensive plays against Tech, and Virginia Tech ran just 45 offensive plays.

Punting: Who Needs It? • Georgia Tech enjoyed a streak of 22 consecutive possessions without punting. That streak began late in the Nov. 14 Duke game and ended in the Jan. 5 FedEx Orange Bowl. • Yellow Jacket punter Chandler Anderson punted just 37 times all season. That included a season-high seven punts in the Orange Bowl. • In the last 20 years of Tech football, there have been only two games in which neither team punted. Those two games came in consecutive weeks -- vs. Georgia (Nov. 28) and vs. Clemson (Dec. 5). • The Yellow Jackets went three-and-out on offense just 22 times in 165 possessions.

Long, Clock-Eating Drives Helped Tech Enjoy Success...

Paul Johnson’s Teams Are 10-1 In The Close Ones

One trademark of almost every Georgia Tech victory last season was at least one long, sustained touchdown drive, taking its physical and mental toll on opponents. The Yellow Jackets had 18 touchdown drives of 10 plays or more last season. Over the last 20 seasons, Tech has produced just six touchdown drives that took 8 minutes, 15 seconds or longer. Three of those came last season.

• In his two seasons at Georgia Tech, Paul Johnson has compiled a remarkable record of 10-1 in games decided by five points or less, including a streak of nine wins in a row. • Johnson has a winning record in games decided by five points or less in each of the last six seasons. • Since 2004, Johnson’s teams are 23-8 in games decided by five points or less.

Dwyer, Nesbitt Give Tech Its First 1,000-Yard Rushing Duo Georgia Tech juniors Jonathan Dwyer (1,395 rushing yards) and Josh Nesbitt (1,037) became the first Georgia Tech to rush for 1,000 yards in one season. • The last time an ACC team has had a pair of 1,000-yard rushers came in 1993 when North Carolina’s Curtis Johnson (1,093 yards) and Leon Johnson (1,012) accomplished it. • Dwyer and Nesbitt are the only Tech duo ever to combine for 2,000 yards in one season and they’ve done it twice (2008 and 2009). • Dwyer, Nesbitt and Anthony Allen are the most prolific rushing trio in Tech history (see box below). • Georgia Tech has produced a 1,000-yard rusher in each of the last four seasons -Tashard Choice in 2006 and 2007, Dwyer in 2008 and 2009, and Nesbitt in 2009. • The Yellow Jackets have produced a 1,000yard rusher 12 times total.

The Quarter-ly Report • Georgia Tech scored in 48 of 57 quarters (84.2 percent) last season (this counts an overtime period as a “quarter”). • Tech scored in the fourth quarter of every game. • Tech closed the season by scoring in 27 of its last 32 quarters. • The Jackets scored at least 113 points in every quarter. • Tech out-scored opponents 115-63 in the third quarter.

100-Yard Rushers: 12 Times In ‘09 A Georgia Tech player rushed for 100-plus yards in a game 12 times last season, breaking the school record of 11 set in 2008.

Nesbitt: The Gritty Engineer Of Tech’s High-Powered Offense Junior Josh Nesbitt enjoyed one of the finest seasons by a quarterback in Georgia Tech history in 2009. • He was the first Tech quarterback named first team All-ACC since Joe Hamilton in 1999. • Nesbitt was named honorable mention AllAmerica by Sports Illustrated. • Nesbitt rushed for 1,000 yards (1,037) and passed for 1,000 yards (1,701). Entering 2009, 48 players in NCAA history had run and passed for 1,000 yards in the same season. • Nesbitt, who led Tech to an Atlantic Coast Conference-record 47 rushing touchdowns, ranked fourth in the ACC in scoring (7.7 ppg). • Nesbitt’s 1,037 yards rushing were the most ever by a Yellow Jacket quarterback and were the second-most ever by an ACC QB. • His 2,069 career yards rushing make him the most prolific rushing quarterback in Tech history and ranks him second in ACC history. • Among quarterbacks, he ranked fifth nationally in rushing (74.1 ypg) in 2009. • Nesbitt is the first quarterback in Georgia Tech history to rush for 100 yards in consecutive games (vs. FSU and Virginia Tech). • He rushed for at least two touchdowns in a game six times last season. • Nesbitt was responsible for 37 plays of at least 20 yards, including 29 passes and eight rushing attempts. • He rushed for 103 yards and one touchdown, and threw a TD pass, against Clemson in the ACC Championship Game (Dec. 5). • Facing 4th-and-1 and trailing 27-24 in overtime, Nesbitt rushed for a first down, then ran three yards for the game-winning touchdown against Wake Forest (Nov. 7). • At Florida State (Oct. 10), Nesbitt rushed for 140 yards and three touchdowns. He also passed for 131 yards and a touchdown -- the second time in his career he has passed and rushed for 100 yards in the same game. • Nesbitt’s three rushing touchdowns were the most allowed by Florida State since 1997. • At Mississippi State (Oct. 3), Nesbitt completed 11-of-14 passes for a career-high 266 yards and a touchdown. He averaged 19.0 yards per attempt -- easily Tech’s highest average per attempt in at least 20 years. Nesbitt’s 319 yards of total offense at Mississippi State were the most by a Yellow Jacket since 2005. • Against North Carolina (Sept. 26), Nesbitt rushed a career-high 32 times -- the most by a Jacket since 2007 -- for 97 yards and two TDs. • Sept. 10 against Clemson, Nesbitt threw a 39-yard strike to Demaryius Thomas, setting up a game-winning field goal.

Cardinal-Turned-Jacket Allen Made Immediate Impact Louisville transfer Anthony Allen proved to be a versatile, key addition to the Tech backfield: • Allen had seven touchdowns -- six by rushing and one by receiving. • He averaged a remarkable 9.7 yards per carry, one of the highest averages in the nation. Of the nation’s top 100 rushers, none average more than 7.82 yards per carry. • Allen rushed for 103 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries at Virginia (Oct. 24). • He had four carries for 81 yards, including a key 60-yard run, at Florida State (Oct. 10). • Allen rushed five times for 127 yards and a touchdown against Clemson. • Allen’s first carry against Clemson was an

82-yard touchdown run, tying for the seventhlongest run in Tech history. • He caught five passes for 112 yards, including a TD reception in the season opener.

Tarrant Was One Of The ACC’s Top Punt Returners Sophomore Jerrard Tarrant returned two punts for touchdowns last season. He ranked third in the ACC and 13th nationally in punt return average (13.4 ypa). • He shares the Tech single-season record for punt return touchdowns, tying three players. • Tarrant is one TD away from tying the Georgia Tech career record of three. • Tarrant’s punt return average (13.4) was the highest by a Yellow Jacket since 1998. • Tarrant returned a punt 68 yards for a touchdown in his first college game, vs. Jacksonville State (Sept. 5) -- Tech’s first punt return for a TD since Djay Jones returned a blocked punt vs. Connecticut in 2004 and the longest punt return for a TD since Jonathan Smith returned one 80 yards against Virginia in 2003. • Against Clemson, Tarrant returned a punt 85 yards for a touchdown -- the sixth-longest punt return in Tech history and the longest since 1972. • Tarrant is the first Tech player to return a punt for a TD in consecutive games since Jonathan Smith in 2003. • Tarrant isn’t just a specialist. The cornerback ranked fourth on the team in tackles (58), led the team with six pass break-ups and had two fumble recoveries. • His 40-yard fumble return for a touchdown at Mississippi State (Oct. 3) was Tech’s first since Oct. 6, 2007 vs. Maryland, and the longest fumble return for a TD since Nov. 21, 1998 vs. Wake Forest (90 yards). • He had all four of Tech’s non-offensive touchdowns in 2009 (see bottom of page).

Paul Johnson

TECH: ACC COACHES OF THE YEAR

Head Coach / 3rd Season at Georgia Tech 20-7 (2 seasons) / 127-46 (13 seasons overall) Paul Johnson, who helped make Georgia Tech one of college football’s biggest surprise stories of 2008 and led the Yellow Jackets to an ACC championship in 2009, enters his third season on The Flats. In just two seasons at Georgia Tech, Johnson has compiled a record of 20-7 (.741), including a 12-4 mark in ACC play. In 13 seasons overall as a head coach, Johnson owns a career record of 127-46 (.734). No coach in college football history won more games in their first 13 seasons as a head coach. Johnson enjoyed success as the head coach at Georgia Southern (1997-2001) and Navy (20022007) before being named Georgia Tech’s 12th head coach on Dec. 12, 2007.

What Johnson has accomplished at Georgia Tech has been remarkable: • In each of his first two seasons at Tech, Johnson has been named the ACC Coach of the Year. He is the first coach to win the award in his first two years in the league. • In 2008, he was named National Coach of the Year by CBS Sports. • In 2009, the Yellow Jackets won the ACC title outright for the first time since 1990, defeating Clemson in the ACC Championship Game. • Tech played in a BCS bowl game for the first time in 2009. • Under Johnson, Tech has averaged 10 wins per season. • Johnson has beaten every ACC team he has faced at least once (Tech has not played Maryland or NC State since Johnson’s arrival), including a 30 record vs. Clemson and a 2-0 mark against Florida State. • In each of the last two seasons Tech has

ranked in the top five nationally in rushing offense. • Tech has produced a first team All-American in each of the last two seasons -- Michael Johnson in 2008 and Derrick Morgan in 2009. • Since Johnson’s arrival, a Tech player has been named ACC Offensive Player of the Year (Jonathan Dwyer in 2008) and ACC Defensive Player of the Year (Morgan in 2009). • In 2009, Tech won in Tallahassee (Fla.) for the first time in school history, beat a top-five ranked team at home (Virginia Tech) for the first time since 1962 and won on the road in Charlottesville (Va.) for the first time since 1990. • Also in 2009, Tech earned its highest national ranking (7th) since 1999. • In 2008, the Jackets broke a seven-year losing skid to rival Georgia, beating the 13th-ranked Bulldogs, 45-42, in Athens (Ga.). The 2009 season was one of the most memorable in Yellow Jacket history despite fielding one of the youngest rosters in college football (just six scholarship seniors). After a mid-September loss at nationally-ranked Miami when the Yellow Jackets played their third game in a 12-day span, Tech reeled off eight consecutive victories including a 5-0 record in October when it played four road games. A convincing 49-10 win at Duke on Nov. 14 clinched the ACC Coastal Division crown, then Tech won the league title by defeating Clemson for a second time, this time in the ACC Championship Game in Tampa, Fla. Tech, which reached a national ranking as high as seventh, played in the FedEx Orange Bowl, its first appearance in a major or BCS bowl game since 1962. Along the way, the Yellow Jackets rolled up mind-boggling numbers on offense, ranking second nationally in rushing offense (295.4 ypg) and third in time of possession (33:49). Prior to the start of the 2008 season, Sports Illustrated projected Georgia Tech to finish 3-9 and the ACC media picked the Yellow Jackets to finish fourth in the Coastal Division. However, Johnson directed Tech to a 9-4 record, a share of the Coastal Division title and a Chick-fil-A Bowl berth. Johnson’s first Yellow Jacket team beat three nationally-ranked opponents – Florida State, Miami and Georgia – over the final four games of the regular season. The win over Georgia snapped a seven-year losing skid to Tech’s in-state rival. Johnson’s first season at Georgia Tech was remarkable for a number of reasons. Not only did he and his staff install completely new offensive and defensive schemes, but Johnson inherited one of the nation’s youngest rosters, which included 76 freshmen and sophomores. The last one-third of the season, 16 of Tech’s 22 starters were freshmen or sophomores. He also took over a program low in scholarship numbers, well below the maximum of 85, the lingering effects of distant NCAA penalties. The 2008 team also suffered more than its share of injuries. Twelve opening-day starters combined to miss 31 games because of injuries. In a September road game at defending ACC champion Virginia Tech, the Jackets started a walk-on freshman at wide receiver. A few weeks later, Tech started its third-string quarterback as the result of injuries to starter Josh Nesbitt and back-up Jaybo Shaw. Almost as soon as Johnson was hired, the pundits questioned if Johnson’s option-based spread offense would work on the BCS level. Those questions came even though Navy racked up mind-numbing offensive numbers, leading the NCAA in rushing three straight years from 2005 to 2007, mostly against ACC and other BCS-level competition. Johnson quieted those critics almost as soon as the 2008 season kicked off and certainly after Tech closed the regular season by combining for 86 points and 881 rushing yards in games against nationally-ranked Miami and Georgia. The Yellow Jackets, with freshmen and sophomores manning every skill position and behind a patch-work offensive line, averaged 273.2 rushing yards per game, ranking fourth nationally and first in the ACC. Georgia Tech also led the ACC in total offense (372.5 ypg). Johnson came to Georgia Tech after previously serving six seasons as head coach of the U.S. Naval Academy, where he led the Midshipmen to a level of success they had not seen in decades. Johnson’s first head coaching job came at Georgia Southern, where in five seasons he led the Eagles to two I-AA national championships. "Paul Johnson is the best fit, the best choice for the Georgia Tech head coaching position," Georgia Tech athletic director Dan Radakovich said upon Johnson’s hiring. "He will educate young men, represent Georgia Tech at the highest level, he will win football games and play for championships. "He accomplished feats at a Service Academy that many thought were not possible. He looks at his talent and maximizes it. Whether as an assistant coach at Hawai'i, or as the head coach at Georgia Southern or Navy, he has figured out how to be successful." Prior to Johnson’s arrival in Atlanta, he earned unprecedented success at Navy.

Johnson coached six years at Navy, where in 2007 the Midshipmen won a fifth straight Commander-In-Chief's Trophy, earned a postseason bowl bid for the fifth consecutive year and beat Notre Dame for the first time since 1963. Johnson was a finalist for the 2007 Liberty Mutual National Coach of the Year. In six seasons at Navy, Johnson compiled a record of 45-29. Johnson took over a Navy football program that was coming off the worst two-year span in its 123-year history (1-20) and had recorded just two winning seasons in the last 20 years. After a 2-10 mark in Johnson's first year, the Midshipmen achieved what many thought was no longer possible at an Academy. Johnson brought the Midshipmen back into the national spotlight with a 43-19 (.694) record over his last four-plus years. Johnson dominated the other two Service Academies like no other coach in the school's annals, posting an 11-1 (.917) overall record, including a perfect 6-0 mark against rival Army. His 2007 senior class was the first in school history to post a perfect 8-0 mark against Army and Air Force. Johnson's Navy teams improved as each season progressed. Over his last five years, Navy posted a 13-2 (.867) record over the final three games of the season and outscored the opposition 611-335 in those contests. In games in which Johnson had more than a week to prepare for an opponent, the Midshipmen went 15-6 (.714) over his last four years combined. The Midshipmen led the nation in rushing in 2007 for an unprecedented third consecutive year, producing more than 350 yards per game. Under Johnson, Navy never finished lower than third nationally in rushing offense. Navy ranked among the nation's highest-scoring teams in 2007, averaging 39.92 points per outing. The 2007 Mids also ranked in the top 10 nationally in kickoff returns and in fewest sacks allowed. Johnson's teams have been successful off the field as well. Navy ranked No. 1 in the country in graduation rates during Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenure. In 2004, Johnson was named Bobby Dodd National Coach of the Year after leading Navy to a 10-2 record, tying the school record for wins set in 1905, and won a bowl game (34-19 victory vs. New Mexico in the Emerald Bowl) for just the fifth time in the history of the program. In 2003, Johnson led Navy to an 8-5 record and brought the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy back to Annapolis for the first time since 1981, propelling Navy to a bowl game for the first time since 1996. The Mids became just the sixth team in NCAA history to go from a winless season to a bowl game in two years or less. Before arriving at Annapolis, Johnson served as head coach at Georgia Southern from 1997 to 2001. At Georgia Southern, Johnson posted a 62-10 (.861) record, won two straight I-AA National Championships (1999 and 2000), five consecutive Southern Conference Championships and was named the Division I-AA National Coach of the Year four straight years (1997-2000). After Johnson took over as head coach at Georgia Southern in 1997, he returned the Eagle program to national prominence statistically and in the won-lost ledger. In addition to Georgia Southern's 62-10 mark, the Eagles scored 2,855 points (39.7 points per game), picked up 25,941 rushing yards (360.3 yards per game), 7,816 passing yards (108.6 yards per game) and 33,757 total yards (468.8 yards per game). GSU scored 380 touchdowns in the Johnson Era, an average of 5.3 per game. The Eagles' scoring margin under Johnson was +21.5 (39.7-18.5). Johnson picked up a milestone victory in the 2000 I-AA National Championship Game against Montana. Not only did the 27-25 victory give Georgia Southern its second straight national title, but it was also Johnson's 50th career win in four seasons. Only three other coaches in the history of Division I football won 50 or more games in four seasons -- Walter Camp (1888-1891, 54-2 at Yale), George Woodruff (1892-1895, 53-4 at Penn) and Bob Pruett (1996-99, 50-4 at Marshall). Johnson took over a Georgia Southern program in 1997 that was 4-7 the previous year and orchestrated a turnaround that ranked among the NCAA's best, directing the Eagles to a 10-3 record. He was named Southern Conference Coach of the Year by the media and Region II Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association. In 1998, Johnson guided the Eagles to a perfect 11-0 regular season record and the school's sixth NCAA Division I-AA National Championship Game appearance before finishing with a 14-1 mark. He directed a highpowered offensive unit that tied or broke 100 records during the campaign, again earned the league's top coaching honor and received The Sports Network's Eddie Robinson Award -- symbolic of the division's national coach-ofthe-year selection. In 1999, Johnson brought Georgia Southern its fifth national title, and the Eagles finished 13-2 while breaking 197 records. For his efforts, Johnson was honored as the 1999 AFCA and Chevrolet I-AA National Coach of the Year. Johnson duplicated the feat in the 2000 season as the Eagles repeated as national champions, again finishing 13-2, and Johnson captured the AFCA I-AA Coach of the Year award once more. In five seasons at Georgia Southern, Johnson's squads broke or tied 379

September 5, 2009 Atlanta, Ga. Bobby Dodd Stadium 46,131

Jonathan Dwyer ran for two touchdowns, and No. 15 Georgia Tech had 335 yards rushing in a 37-17 victory against Jacksonville State. The Yellow Jackets rested many of their starters in the second half with Clemson visiting Bobby Dodd Stadium on Thursday. Dwyer, the 2008 Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year, scored on the first play from scrimmage, taking an option pitch for a 74-yard touchdown. He finished with 95 yards rushing on seven carries, including a 5-yard touchdown later in the first quarter. Johnson kept Dwyer on the sideline for the entire second half. Jacksonville State trailed 31-7 at halftime, scoring on Brooks Robinson's 20yard flea-flicker TD catch. After Dwyer's first score, Jacksonville State fumbled away the ensuing kickoff when Anthony Barnes knocked the ball loose from Jamal Young, and Jemea Thomas recovered at the Gamecocks 23. Tech's Demaryius Thomas caught four passes for 101 yards.

Scott Blair threw a touchdown pass off a fake field goal, then booted a 36yard kick with 57 seconds remaining as the 15th-ranked Yellow Jackets rallied to 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 potentially devastating loss that looked like an easy victory early on. The Yellow Jackets raced 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 the night on Richard Jackson's 53-yard field goal with 11:33 to go. Georgia Tech, which did nothing offensively through most of the second and third 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 Thomas Austin wiped out Kyle Parker's 38-yard completion to Jacoby Ford, the Yellow Jackets got a chance to win it.

Jacory Harris completed 20 of 25 passes for 270 yards and three touchdowns, and the 20th-ranked Hurricanes put an emphatic end to a four-game losing streak against No. 14 Georgia Tech with a 33-17 victory. Miami outgained Georgia Tech 453-228. Graig Cooper ran for 93 yards, Javarris James rushed for 72 more and a touchdown, and LaRon Byrd caught five passes for 83 yards and another score. Miami held the Yellow Jackets to 95 yards rushing -- nearly half of those on the game's first drive. Tech's reigning ACC player of the year, fullback Jonathan Dwyer, was slowed by a shoulder injury and finished with 7 yards on five carries. Josh Nesbitt completed 6 of 15 passes, all to Demaryius Thomas, for 133 yards, including a 56-yard touchdown midway through the fourth quarter. Harris led Miami to scores on its first three possessions, the Hurricanes led 24-3 early in the third quarter after James scored from 3 yards out to cap a 60-yard, six-play drive, and the Hurricanes sauntered off celebrating their most significant win in years.

Josh Nesbitt ran for two touchdowns and Georgia Tech held the ball for 42 minutes, its highest total in 13 years, to beat No. 22 North Carolina 24-7. Georgia Tech opened in a 4-3 scheme instead of the 4-2-5 it ran last week. The third linebacker helped; the Yellow Jackets held North Carolina to 154 yards on only 44 plays. Georgia Tech held the ball for 42 minutes, 6 seconds --- its best mark since a 1996 win over Wake Forest. Jonathan Dwyer ran for 158 yards in his first 100-yard game of the season. He showed no sign of the shoulder injury that limited him to five carries for 7 yards against Miami. Nesbitt added a career-high 32 carries for 97 yards. Georgia Tech had 317 yards rushing in its spread-option offense while holding North Carolina to 17. North Carolina's only touchdown came on Yates' 40-yard pass to Erik Highsmith early in the fourth quarter. Georgia Tech then put the game away with a 17-play, 76-yard touchdown drive, capped by Nesbitt's 10-yard run. The drive lasted 8:15. Burnett's second interception ended Carolina's final drive with 1:34 left. Georgia Tech did not commit a turnover.

Josh Nesbitt threw for a career-high 266 yards and No. 25 Georgia Tech converted three Mississippi State turnovers into touchdowns for a 42-31 win. Nesbitt took to the air against the Bulldogs, connecting with Demaryius Thomas eight times for 174 yards and a 23-yard touchdown in an exciting game that featured a little bit of everything. The Yellow Jackets and Bulldogs both scored on reverses and converted a combined six fourth downs, including a fake field goal by Mississippi State. The Bulldogs' Leon Berry had an 89-yard kickoff return a score and Tech's Jerrard Tarrant returned a fumble 40 yards for a touchdown. Anthony Dixon rushed for 106 yards, but gave up the fumble to Tarrant. Quarterbacks Tyson Lee and Chris Relf also each fumbled once and Lee added a late interception. Lee's fumble on the Bulldogs' opening drive set up Stephen Hill's 24-yard score on a reverse.

Georgia Tech Florida State

49 44

October 10, 2009 Tallahassee, Fla. Doak Campbell Stadium 76,292

Quarterback Josh Nesbitt ran for three touchdowns and threw for one more to lead the 22nd-ranked Yellow Jackets to a 49-44 win at Florida State. Florida State wasted a spectacular performance by Christian Ponder, who completed 26 of 38 passes for a career best 359 yards and five touchdowns. Nesbitt, who ran for a game-high 140 yards, also threw a 73-yard touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas in the third quarter that tied the game at 35. Diminutive Marcus Wright's 19-yard touchdown run put the Yellow Jackets ahead for good at 42-38 late in the third quarter and Nesbitt iced the outcome with a 22-yard scoring run with 6:29 left in the game three plays after he ripped an apparent fumble recovery away from Florida State's Nigel Carr. Tailback Jonathan Dwyer also ran for two scores for the Yellow Jackets.

Josh Nesbitt rushed for 122 yards and three touchdowns -- the last of them tiptoeing down the sideline to finish off the fourth-ranked Hokies with 3 minutes left -- as No. 19 Georgia Tech ran to a 28-23 win that threw the Atlantic Coast Conference race up for grabs while perhaps finishing off the league's top contender in the national race. Georgia Tech completed just one pass but ran for 309 yards out of its spread option 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 the clinching drive with his best run of the night. On third-and-7 from the Hokies 39, the quarterback ran to his left, saw two defenders peel away to shadow potential pitch targets, turned up through a huge hole and managed to stay in bounds along the sideline, even when Dorian Porch gave him one last shove around the 5. Nesbitt has run for six touchdowns over the last two weeks, also scoring three times in a 49-44 victory over Florida State. It was the fifth time this season the quarterback rushed for more than 90 yards.

October 24, 2009 Charlottesville, Va. Scott Stadium 43,016

An 18-play, 82-yard, 10-minute and 47-seconds drive to open the third quarter helped No. 11/13 Georgia Tech beat Virginia, 34-9, and take over sole possession of first place in the ACC’s Coastal Division. 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 minutes With 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 four touchdown drives: a 10-play, 60-yard march in the second quarter; the 10:47 marathon in the third; an 11-play, 66-yard put-the-game away possession in the fourth; 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 Virginia for the first time since 1990, the year the Yellow Jackets claimed a share of the national title.

Georgia Tech Wake Forest

30 (ot) 27

November 7, 2009 Atlanta, Ga. Bobby Dodd Stadium 51,415

No. 10 Georgia Tech pulled off a gutsy play on fourth down after failing four times during regulation, and Josh Nesbitt ended it with a 3-yard touchdown run that pushed the Yellow Jackets to the cusp of the ACC championship game with a 30-27 victory over Wake Forest. Jonathan Dwyer rushed for a career-best 189 yards and went over 1,000 yards for the season, but it was Nesbitt and the guys on the defensive side who bailed 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 and powered up the middle for a 2-yard gain. He scored on the very next play, bouncing off right tackle to go in standing before he flipped the ball high in the air and raised both arms in triumph. The entire team poured onto the field to celebrate.

Georgia Tech Duke

49 10

November 14, 2009 Durham, N.C. Wallace Wade Stadium 25,899

Georgia Tech clinched the Coastal Division and a spot in the league championship by routing Duke 49-10 behind 110 yards rushing and two touchdowns from Jonathan Dwyer and another big day from Josh Nesbitt. Orwin Smith's 83-yard kickoff return sparked slow-starting Georgia Tech. Duke's Jordon Byas tracked him down from behind at the 2, but none of the Yellow Jackets' pursuers can catch them in the standings. Nesbitt accounted for three scores, finishing 6 of 10 for 195 yards with touchdown passes covering 32 yards to Stephen Hill and 75 yards to Demaryius Thomas and a 2-yard scoring run. Dwyer, the reigning ACC player of the year, had TD runs of 3 and 13 yards in his fourth consecutive 100-yard game. Georgia Tech scored on five of six possessions to break open the game, outgained Duke 519-281, rolled up 306 yards rushing and won its eighth straight while sewing up the Coastal for the second time in four years. Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thaddeus Lewis was 22 for 35 for 212 yards passing.

Taking a page out of Georgia Tech's playbook, Georgia rushed for 339 yards to beat the seventh-ranked Yellow Jackets 30-24. Freshman Washaun Ealey rambled for 183 yards and Caleb King broke loose for 166 yards and two touchdowns. The Bulldogs reclaimed state bragging rights in a tumultuous year and handed the Yellow Jackets a huge setback in what has been their best season in nearly two decades. The nation's second-best rushing team was held to 205 yards - 109 below its average. Georgia set the tone right from the opening kickoff. The first 10 plays, all runs, including a 35-yarder by Ealey and a 6-yard touchdown for King. The offensive line was dominating, pushing around the Yellow Jackets to open one big hole after another. High-scoring Georgia Tech, averaging 36 points a game, looked out of sync throughout the first half.

Jonathan Dwyer's 15-yard touchdown run with 1:20 remaining gave the 12th-ranked Yellow Jackets a 39-34 victory over No. 25 Clemson in the ACC championship game at Tampaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Raymond James Stadium. Josh Nesbitt threw a 70-yard TD pass to Demaryius Thomas and Scott Blair kicked a title game-record four field goals to help the Yellow Jackets win the crown -- Tech's first since sharing it with Florida State in 1998 -- in their second season under Paul Johnson. ACC player of the year C.J. Spiller rushed for 233 yards and four touchdowns for Clemson, which has lost two straight following a six-game winning streak. Blair, the star of Georgia Tech's three-point victory over Clemson during the regular season, kicked field goals of 48, 49, 28 and 40 yards.

FedEx Orange Bowl January 5, 2010 Miami Gardens, Fla. Land Shark Stadium 66,131

No. 10 Iowa solved Tech's explosive triple option and Ricky Stanzi threw two early touchdown passes for a 24-14 victory in the coldest Orange Bowl ever. Temperature at kickoff was 49 degrees, and Tech's offense was slow to warm up. The ninth-ranked Yellow Jackets averaged 35 points during the regular season, but their only score in the first three quarters came on Jerrard Tarrant's 40-yard interception return. The Hawkeyes (11-2) earned their first Bowl Championship Series bowl win, matched the school record for victories and could claim their highest final ranking since finishing No. 3 in 1960. Georgia Tech (11-3) totaled nine first downs and a season-low 155 yards. The Yellow Jackets were first in the nation in time of possession, second in rushing and 11th in scoring at 35 points per game. But they sputtered against an Iowa defense that held four bowl-bound teams to 10 points or less during the regular season. End Adrian Clayborn led Iowa's defensive charge. He had two sacks and nine tackles, including two for a loss, and was chosen the game's most valuable player.
