2010 POSTSEASON INFORMATION
2009 ACC CHAMPIONS GEORGIA TECH SET TO PLAY IN BOWL GAME FOR THE 14TH CONSECUTIVE SEASON Georgia Tech will keep one of the nation’s longest active bowl streaks alive when the Yellow Jackets play in their 14th consecutive bowl game Dec. 27 against Air Force in the AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La. (4:00 p.m./ESPN2). The Yellow Jackets, 6-6 overall and 4-4 in the ACC (third in the Coastal Division), will play in their 39th bowl game overall and will make their first appearance in the Independence Bowl. The Dec. 27th game comes one month after Tech’s final regular season game -- a 42-34 loss at Georgia. Air Force, 8-4 and 5-3 in the Mountain West Conference, will have not played since a Nov. 18, 35-20 win at UNLV -- the Falcons’ third consecutive victory to close the regular season. Air Force won those three games by a combined 125-65. The Independence Bowl will feature the nation’s top two rushing teams. Georgia Tech leads the nation in rushing (327.0 yards per game) and Air Force (317.9 ypg) ranks second. Tech’s rushing attack is led by senior B-back Anthony Allen (102.1 ypg), who ranks second in the ACC in rushing and rushed for a combined 331 yards over the final two games of the regular season. Senior quarterback Joshua Nesbitt, who broke his right arm Nov. 4 at Virginia Tech, is questionable for the game. Georgia Tech leads the all-time series with Air Force, 3-0. The two teams have not met since 1979 and have never previously met in a bowl game.
4 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS QUICK NOTES ON THE YELLOW JACKETS Georgia Tech’s streak of 14 consecutive bowl game appearances ranks tied for fourth nationally behind Florida State (29), Florida (20) and Virginia Tech (18). The Yellow Jackets finished .500 or better in ACC play for a conference-record 16th consecutive season. Tech ranks first nationally in rushing offense (327.0 ypg). The Yellow Jackets finished in the top five nationally in rushing in 2008 and 2009. Tech owns the second-highest rushing average in school history. The Jackets need a win in the bowl game to extend its streak of consecutive winning seasons to 14 and to snap their bowl-game losing streak of five. Three Yellow Jackets were named to the All-ACC team. Senior center Sean Bedford was named to the first team for the second straight year. He was joined on the first team by senior B-back Anthony Allen. Sophomore guard Omoregie Uzzi was named second team. If senior Joshua Nesbitt, the ACC’s all-time leading rusher among quarterbacks, does not return for the bowl game, sophomore Tevin Washington will make his fourth straight start. Senior B-back Anthony Allen rushed for 331 yards in his final two regular season games combined. Allen, who ranks second in the ACC in rushing, owns the 8thmost single-season rushing yards (1,225) in Tech history. The Yellow Jackets are 11-2 under head coach Paul Johnson in games decided by five points or less.

PAPA CONE PLAYED VS. AIR FORCE IN 1979 Ronny Cone, the father of current Yellow Jacket senior wide receiver Kevin Cone, played for Georgia Tech the last time the Jackets played Air Force on Nov. 10, 1979. Cone rushed 26 times for 156 yards and a touchdown in Tech’s 21-0 victory. More on that game in right-hand column. PETERS RETURNING HOME TO LOUISIANA The Independence Bowl will be a homecoming of sorts for junior defensive end Jason Peters, a Baton Rouge (La.) native. Peters attended Catholic High School in Baton Rouge. He will be visiting Shreveport for the first time. AIR FORCE’S CALHOUN vs. GEORGIA TECH Air Force head coach Troy Calhoun was the offensive coordinator at Wake Forest in 2001 and 2002. In 2001, Georgia Tech beat Wake Forest 38-33 in Winston-Salem. In 2002, the Demon Deacons beat the Yellow Jackets 24-21 in Atlanta. THE LAST MEETING: NOVEMBER 10, 1979 GEORGIA TECH 21, AIR FORCE 0 Georgia Tech went just 4-6-1 in 1979, but the Yellow Jackets closed the season by winning three of their last four games including a 21-0 win over visiting Air Force on Nov. 10. Tech’s win over the Falcons -- the Yellow Jackets’ homecoming -- was its second of three straight wins. The following week the Jackets beat Navy in the nextto-last game of head coach Pepper Rodgers’ tenure. Ronny Cone, the father of current Yellow Jacket senior Kevin Cone, gave Tech a 7-0 lead with a 20yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Later in the quarter, Michael Kelly hit Matt Rank with a 19-yard TD pass for an early 14-0 lead. Tech tacked on a touchdown with 1:18 remaining. Cone had 26 carries for 156 yards to lead the Yellow Jackets. He also had two receptions for 19 yards. The Jacket defense, led by senior Mackel Harris’ 10 tackles, held the Falcons to 70 yards rushing and 241 yards of total offense. TECH’S LAST BOWL GAME: JANUARY 5, 2010 NO. 10 IOWA 24, NO. 9 GEORGIA TECH 14 No. 10 Iowa solved Tech's explosive triple option and Ricky Stanzi threw two early touchdown passes for a 24-14 victory Jan. 5, 2010, 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. TECH’S LAST GAME: NOVEMBER 27, 2010 GEORGIA 42, GEORGIA TECH 34 Aaron Murray threw for three touchdowns, Justin Houston returned a fumble 18 yards for a score and Georgia Tech missed a tying extra point, giving Georgia the win it needed to be eligible for a bowl, a 42-34 victory over the Yellow Jackets on Nov. 27. The Yellow Jackets were poised to tie the game at 35 after Anthony Allen bulled into the end zone for an 8-yard run with 4:57 remaining. But Scott Blair yanked the extra point wide left, ending a streak of 77 straight PATs and leaving the Bulldogs with a one-point lead. Georgia tacked on a touchdown run by Washaun
Ealey that wasn't contested by the Georgia Tech defense, which just stood around so the Yellow Jackets could get one more shot on offense. Tevin Washington, starting his third straight game in place of injured Joshua Nesbitt, guided Georgia Tech across midfield in the final minute. But Houston finished off a huge game with one last big play, dropping back into pass coverage and intercepting a pass over the middle with 35 seconds left. Anthony Allen rushed for 166 yards to lead Georgia Tech, which ran a staggering 92 plays for 512 yards and controlled the ball for nearly 38 minutes. But too many mistakes doomed the Yellow Jackets, who also lost three fumbles -- each of which were followed by Georgia touchdowns. AIR FORCE WAS THE OPPONENT IN 1978 WHEN EDDIE LEE IVERY BROKE NCAA RUSHING MARK On Nov. 11, 1978, Georgia Tech’s Eddie Lee Ivery rushed for a then-NCAA record 356 yards against Air Force on a cold, snowy day in Colorado Springs. Ivery’s record stood for six seasons until Washington State’s Rueben Mayes rushed for one more yard than Ivery, against Oregon, in 1984. Ivery’s record-setting performance came on 26 rushing attempts. He did it on a day when the temperatures were in the 20s, augmented by a 20 mph wind (making the chill factor zero degrees) which turned the Falcon Stadium turf into a frozen tundra. Complicating Ivery’s plight, he suffered from a stomach virus. He had 122 yards on 12 carries at halftime, but his status for the second half was in doubt. An 80-yard touchdown run in the third quarter gave him 240 yards and broke the Georgia Tech singlegame record. When Ivery came out of the game, he was replaced by Ray Friday, who promptly took a handoff and ran 66 yards up the middle for a touchdown. Georgia Tech won the game, 42-21. NATION’S TOP TWO RUSHING TEAMS TAKE CENTER STAGE IN SHREVEPORT Georgia Tech leads the nation in rushing offense (327.0 yards per game) and Air Force ranks second (317.9 ypg). Only five FBS teams average more than 300 yards rushing per game. The Yellow Jackets (414.5 ypg) and Falcons (437.4 ypg) combine to average more than 851 yards of total offense per game.

TECH BOWL NOTES Georgia Tech’s 14 consecutive bowl game appearances tie for the fourth-longest active streak nationally behind Florida State (29), Florida (20) and Virginia Tech (18). The streak of 14 straight bowls ties for the 11th-longest all-time in college football. Georgia Tech was the first school to win each of the four traditional major bowls, the Rose, Orange, Sugar and Cotton. The Jackets completed the feat in 1955. Tech’s bowl winning percentage (.579) ranks as the ninth-highest nationally. Tech’s 22 bowl victories tie Florida State for the most by an ACC team, and tie for the ninth-most nationally.

In the regular season finale at Georgia, Washington rushed for two touchdowns. Nov. 20 against Duke, Washington rushed for 94 yards and a touchdown, and threw for 90 yards including a 79-yard TD pass to Stephen Hill.

TECH OFFENSE CONTINUES TO ROLL Georgia Tech ranks first nationally in rushing offense (327.0 ypg). Only five teams on the BCS level are rushing for more than 300 yards per game. The Yellow Jackets rushing average of 327.0 yards per game is the second-highest in Tech history. Only the 1975 team (329.7 ypg) had a higher average. Tech has rushed for 300 yards in a game eight times and has produced 400 yards of total offense in a game eight times. Tech averages 414.5 yards per game of total offense. The Yellow Jackets are attempting to become just the sixth team in Georgia Tech history to average more than 400 yards per game.

Georgia Tech's 346 yards rushing at Virginia Tech were the most against the Hokies in defensive coordinator Bud Foster's 16 seasons (200 games).

GEORGIA TECH FOOTBALL NOTES WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT JOSHUA NESBITT “He’s not the most stylish quarterback in the land, and he doesn’t throw the prettiest passes. But if it’s fourth-and-2 and his team is going for it — and Georgia Tech’s coach tends to go for it — Joshua Nesbitt is the one you’d trust most with the ball. He’ll get the two yards. He’ll get them if he has to steal the ball back from an opponent. He’ll get them no matter how many opponents grab onto him.” -- Mark Bradley, AJC Columnist

“Nesbitt is the straw who stirs the cocktail that is Paul Johnson’s high-octane offense.” -- Tony Barnhart, Mr. College Football “At 6-foot-1, 218 pounds, he’s built like a F-150. He takes hit after hit and keeps on rumbling in coach Paul Johnson’s run-based spread option offense.” --Heather Dinich, ESPN.com “He's the guy who makes it all go. And he's probably one of the most valuable players in all of college football, especially on a team that lost its leading rusher and top receiver to the NFL.” -- SportsIllustrated.com “He has a linebacker’s approach to playing quarterback. If you come hard at him, he’ll come harder at you.” -- Mark Bradley, AJC Columnist

INJURY WILL LIKELY COST NESBITT CHANCE TO JOIN THE 3,000/3,000 CLUB If not for the broken forearm Nesbitt suffered at Virginia Tech Nov. 4, he would have likely become just the eighth player in NCAA history to rush for 3,000 career yards and pass for 3,000 career yards. Nesbitt has passed for 3,276 career yards and has rushed for 2,806 yards.

NESBITT WAS ENJOYING OUTSTANDING SENIOR SEASON BEFORE INJURY Even though senior quarterback Joshua Nesbitt did not play the final three regular season games of his college career, his 2010 season has been outstanding. Nesbitt ranks third in the ACC (first among quarterbacks) in rushing (81.9 ypg) and he has rushed for 10 touchdowns. Among all quarterbacks, he ranks fourth nationally in rushing. He rushed for more than 100 yards in a game four times in 2010. Seven of Nesbitt’s 39 pass completions this season have been for touchdowns. He had 10 rushing attempts of 20 yards or longer and four longer than 50 yards. His 737 yards rushing and 10 rushing touchdowns were the second-most in a season by a quarterback in Tech history -- second only to the marks he set in 2009. The 737 rushing yards were the seventh-most ever by a quarterback in the ACC. Nesbitt’s 9-yard touchdown pass to Correy Earls with 15 seconds remaining lifted Tech to an Oct. 2 victory at Wake Forest, 24-20. NESBITT WILL LEAVE NAME ETCHED ALL OVER THE RECORD BOOKS Even if senior quarterback Joshua Nesbitt does not return to play in a postseason bowl game, he will leave Tech with his name firmly etched into the record books. Nesbitt, with 2,806 career rushing yards, has rushed for more yards than any quarterback in ACC history and over 1,000 yards more than any QB in Tech history. He has rushed for 35 career touchdowns -- six more
than any quarterback in the history of the ACC and 16 more TDs than any QB in Yellow Jacket history. His injury will likely prevent him from becoming just the eighth player in NCAA history with 3,000 career rushing yards and 3,000 career passing yards, joining the likes of Pat White and Vince Young. He has rushed for two or more touchdowns in a game 10 times in his career. His 35 career rushing touchdowns tie for the secondmost in Tech history. Nesbitt’s 35 career touchdowns overall rank third in school history. Nesbitt ranks seventh in Georgia Tech history for career rushing yards (2,806). He has eight career 100-yard rushing games including four in 2010. With 214 career points scored, Nesbitt ranks seventh on Tech’s all-time career scoring list. He has 650 career rushing attempts, which ranks fifth in Tech history. He is just the fifth player in Tech history to produce 6,000 yards of total offense (6,082). With 20 career touchdown passes, Nesbitt ranks 10th in Tech history. He is the ninth player in Tech history to pass for more than 3,000 yards (3,276). Nesbitt is responsible for 55 career touchdowns, which ranks fourth in Tech history. He started 30 consecutive games before the injury. Since Nesbitt took over as starting quarterback in 2008, Tech has won 25 games. NCAA Leading Rushers (Quarterbacks) 1. Denard Robinson Michigan 136.9 2. Cam Newton Auburn 108.4 3.

2010 POSTSEASON INFORMATION ANTHONY ALLEN GOES OVER 1,000 YARDS Senior running back Anthony Allen, after somewhat of a slow start, is enjoying one of the best rushing seasons in Georgia Tech history. Allen (1,225 rushing yards) gives Tech at least one 1,000-yard rusher for the fifth consecutive season. Allen ranks second in the ACC and 18th nationally in rushing (102.1 ypg). He has five 100-yard rushing games this season. Allen rushed for more than 160 yards in each of his last two regular season games -- 165 vs. Duke and 166 at Georgia. Allen has 1,843 rushing yards in his two-year Georgia Tech career. Including his two seasons at Louisville, Allen is closing in on 3,000 career yards. He enters the Independence Bowl with 2,945 yards. Allen was named first team All-ACC, marking the fourth consecutive season Georgia Tech has produced a first team all-conference running back. His 195 yards rushing against Virginia (Oct. 9) were the most by a Yellow Jacket since teammate Roddy Jones ran for 214 at Georgia in 2008.

BLAIR WINDING DOWN GREAT KICKING CAREER Senior Scott Blair has done just about everything a kicker can do during his four-year career: he’s one of the most prolific field goal kickers and scorers in Tech history; he threw a touchdown pass last season against Clemson; he’s made tackles on kickoffs; and he is handling punting duties for the first time since 2008. Blair made his first nine field goal attempts of the season and is 15-of-17 on the year. His field goal percentage of .882 is the highest in Georgia Tech history. Blair has made 41-of-56 career field goal attempts, which gives him the highest career field goal percentage (.732) in Tech history. In the win over Duke, Blair kicked three field goals, each of them longer than 40 yards. He kicked three field goals, including two in the fourth quarter, in Tech’s 30-24 win at North Carolina (Sept. 18). Blair kicked field goals of 47, 45 and 42 yards in the 24-20 win at Wake Forest (Oct. 2). He has converted 115 career PATs. He was named ACC Specialist of the Week twice this season. Blair was named Lou Groza Award co-Star of the Week twice this season as well. He has scored 238 career points, which ranks fifth in Georgia Tech history, fourth among kickers. NEVER OUT OF IT Three times this season Georgia Tech has overcome a deficit of at least seven points to win -- at North Carolina, at Wake Forest and vs. Duke. The Yellow Jackets have trailed at some point in nine of their 12 games this season. A PLUG FOR SPECIAL TEAMS While head coach Paul Johnson has not been happy with special teams play this season -- Tech ranks 112th nationally in net punting, 79th in punt returns and 87th in kick returns -- there have been some positives on special teams: The Yellow Jackets rank 11th nationally in kickoff return yardage defense (19.0 ypa). That ranking would be even higher if not for a kick return for a touchdown by Virginia Tech. Scott Blair, the senior kicker, has done his part (at least in terms of field goals and extra points). He has made 8-of-10 field goals of 40 yards or longer.

2010 POSTSEASON INFORMATION BUTLER GOES OUT ON TOP Senior cornerback Mario Butler, who has started a team-high 39 consecutive games, turned in two of the biggest plays of the season in the final home game of his career Nov. 20 against Duke. The win over the Blue Devils made the Yellow Jackets bowl-eligible. With Georgia Tech trailing 13-9 mid-way through the third quarter, Butler tackled Duke’s Donovan Varner for a six-yard loss on first down. On the next play, Butler intercepted a Brandon Connette pass and returned it 85 yards for a touchdown. Tech never trailed after Butler’s pick-six, went on to beat Duke and become bowl-eligible. Butler’s 85-yard interception return was the longest since Sept. 9, 2006, when Jamal Lewis returned an INT 97 yards against Samford. The return tied for Tech’s longest in an ACC game, the longest in an ACC game since Sept. 9, 1989, when Pat Swilling went 95 yards at NC State. The interception was Butler’s first of the season and the fourth of his career. It was also Tech’s second pick-six of the season. MODEL OF CONSISTENCY Georgia Tech is playing in a bowl game for the 14th consecutive season. Tech’s current streak ties for the fourth-longest nationally. Tech secured at least a .500 finish in league play for the 16th consecutive season. The only team nationally with a longer streak is Florida (24 consecutive seasons).

TARRANT: FIVE CAREER NON-OFFENSIVE TDs Over the last two seasons, Georgia Tech has scored six non-offensive touchdowns -- and five have been produced by junior safety Jerrard Tarrant. Tarrant returned an interception 33 yards for a touchdown Sept. 25 against NC State -- his second career pick-six. Last season Tarrant had two punt returns for a touchdown, one fumble return for a TD, and one INT return for a score. Tarrant has more career non-offensive touchdowns than any active player in the ACC.
Oct. 16 against Middle Tennessee, Tarrant had his second and third interceptions of the season. He is one away from tying the Georgia Tech career record for punt returns for touchdowns. While he didn’t get a TD Nov. 20 against Duke, he did have two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and nine tackles. He is the first Yellow Jacket to force two fumbles in one game since Michael Johnson in the 2006 ACC championship game against Wake Forest. One week later at Georgia, Tarrant forced and recovered fumbles.

SIX TRUE FRESHMEN SEEING ACTION Head coach Paul Johnson always says that he will get his best players on the field, regardless of class. That has held true in 2010 as six true freshmen have seen action: Jeremiah Attaochu (LB) -- A top back-up at outside linebacker. Recorded a sack in each of the final two games of the regular season. He has 17 tackles (13 solo tackles), 4.0 tackles for loss and 3.0 sacks on the season. B.J. Bostic (AB) -- The only true freshman seeing action on offense. Averaging 9.8 yards on 13 rushing attempts and 20.9 yards on 27 kickoff returns. He ranks eighth in the ACC in kick returns. Fred Holton (DB) -- Has 11 tackles, including six solo tackles, on the season. He forced a fumble in the final regular season game at Georgia. Isaiah Johnson (S) -- Has 41 tackles, 2.0 tackles for loss, one sack, one interception, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. Justin Moore (K) -- Performed kick-offs early in the season. Louis Young (CB) -- Has 10 tackles on the season and plays a prominent role on special teams. Will compete for a starting job in 2011.

ROAD WARRIORS Georgia Tech did something this fall that very few BCS teams do -- play two non-conference road games vs. BCS opponents. The Yellow Jackets’ non-conference slate included road trips to Kansas and Georgia. Out of all BCS teams, only 12 played two non-conference road games in 2010. Out of those 12, only Georgia Tech (Kansas, Georgia), South Florida (Florida, Miami) and UCLA (Kansas State, Texas) played two non-conference road games against BCS opponents.

TRANSFERS MAKING AN IMPACT Anthony Allen (Louisville), Anthony Egbuniwe (Tulsa), Mario Edwards (Virginia Tech), Lucas Cox (Connecticut) and Kevin Cone (Shorter) -- all transfers -- are either starting or are second on the depth chart. TECH IN OVERTIME Georgia Tech is 4-3 all-time in overtime games. The Yellow Jackets’ last OT game was a 30-27 win over Wake Forest on Nov. 7, 2009. IT’S JUST: GEORGIA TECH It is incorrect to call it “Georgia Tech University.” Officially, it’s The Georgia Institute of Technology. But just call us “Georgia Tech.” ON THIS DATE IN TECH HISTORY Georgia Tech has played just once previously on December 27th -- a 24-14 victory over Stanford in the 2001 Seattle Bowl. The unranked Yellow Jackets upset the 11th-ranked Cardinal under interim coach Mac McWhorter, who took over for George O’Leary. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS Air Force and Georgia Tech are two of five FBS schools that do not have “university” in their titles. Seven of Georgia Tech’s 12 regular season opponents are playing in bowl games. The Yellow Jackets’ only loss to a non-bowl team this season came at Kansas Sept. 11. For the Nov. 4 game at Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech wore Mississippi State decals on their helmets to honor Nick Bell, the Bulldog player who tragically lost his battle with cancer. Tech has completed just 59 passes this season but averages a lofty 17.8 yards per completion. Paul Johnson, in each of his first two seasons at Tech, was named ACC Coach of the Year. He is the first coach in the history of the conference to win the honor in each of his first two seasons. Thirty-eight different Jackets have made at least one career start. Under Paul Johnson, Tech has defeated every ACC team at least once -- except for Maryland, which has not been on the Jackets’ schedule since pre-Johnson, and NC State. The Jackets have more seniors this season (16 on scholarship) compared to last season (6), but the roster remains relatively young. There are 81 freshmen and sophomores on the 2010 roster. Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson is 26-13 in his third season with the Yellow Jackets -- that’s more wins than any coach in Yellow Jacket history won in their first three seasons. TECH AT HISTORIC BOBBY DODD STADIUM No team in college football has won more games in its current home stadium than Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets are 437-182-21 all-time in Bobby Dodd Stadium.

VETERAN, HONORED COACHING STAFF The winners of three of the last four ACC Coach of the Year awards are on the Georgia Tech staff. Head coach Paul Johnson won the award in 2008 and 2009 -- the first coach to win the honor in his first two seasons in the league. The 2007 ACC Coach of the Year was Al Groh, the former Virginia head coach, who is now the Yellow Jackets’ defensive coordinator. Groh also won the award in 2002. Three Tech assistant coaches have previously served as head coaches on the college level -- Al Groh (Virginia, Wake Forest), Andy McCollum (Middle Tennessee State) and Mike Sewak (Georgia Southern). Georgia Tech’s full-time coaching staff (head coach Paul Johnson and nine assistant coaches) have combined to coach 201 seasons on the Division I level entering the 2010 season. Those 10 Yellow Jacket coaches have combined to coach in 72 bowl games.

WHITE JERSEYS AT HOME (USUALLY) Under Paul Johnson, Georgia Tech has traditionally worn white jerseys at home. However, to wear white at home, it requires the cooperation of the visiting team, which has the right to wear light jerseys if it chooses. Twice this season -- vs. NC State and Miami -- the opponent chose to wear white. Tech wore gold jerseys against the Wolfpack and blue against the Hurricanes. Tech donned blue jerseys for the Miami game to honor the 1990 national championship team, which was honored at halftime. The ‘90 national title team wore blue jerseys at home. While the players like the blue jerseys, Tech hasn’t had much success in them. Tech lost to Miami by 25 points in blue. Previously, the Jackets lost 38-3 to LSU in the 2008 Chick-fil-A Bowl and 9-6 to Wake Forest in the ‘06 ACC championship game. CENTER OF ATTENTION Senior center Sean Bedford, an aerospace engineering major, has come a long way -- from walk-on scout team player to first team All-ACC and a candidate for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award: Bedford grew up in Gainesville, Fla., where he was a big Florida Gator fan, attended most Gator home games, and went to the same church as Urban Meyer (Meyer’s daughter plays volleyball at Georgia Tech). Bedford, an outstanding student, was only recruited for football by Ivy League-type schools. Wanting to play big-time college football, he chose to walk-on at Tech and follow his other passion – aerospace engineering. Under former coach Chan Gailey, Bedford toiled on the scout team as a defensive lineman. In the spring of 2008, new coach Paul Johnson loved Bedford’s work ethic and told him: “Instead of beating our starting offensive linemen every snap, why don’t you just take their place?” Bedford moved to the offensive line and immediately made progress. In the spring of 2009 he emerged as the starting center, subplanting a twoyear senior starter. Last season, Bedford earned first team All-ACC honors and helped Tech rank second nationally in rushing offense. This year, he was named first team All-ACC for a second time and is a candidate for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award.

2010 POSTSEASON INFORMATION BEDFORD A FINALIST FOR LOWE’S SENIOR CLASS AWARD, BURLSWORTH TROPHY Georgia Tech senior center Sean Bedford is one of 10 NCAA football student-athletes, who excel both on and off the field, selected as finalists Oct. 20th for the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award in the Football Bowl Subdivision. To be eligible, a student-athlete must be classified as a senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence -- community, classroom, character and competition. Bedford is one of five finalists for the Burlsworth Trophy, which goes to the top player in college football who began his career as a walk-on. BEDFORD: ONE OF SPORTING NEWS’ 20 SMARTEST ATHLETES Georgia Tech senior center Sean Bedford was named one of the 20 smartest athletes -- first among college athletes -- by Sporting News (09/23/10). On-field accomplishments: 2009 All-ACC first team, 2010 All-ACC first team, finalist for the 2010 Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award, finalist for the Burlsworth Trophy, and was on the preseason watch lists for the Outland and Rimington trophies. Major: Aerospace engineering and public policy (minor in law science and technology). SAT score: 1520. “I didn’t study. I took it three times. First one in seventh grade and got an 1130. The next time in 10th grade and got a 1400.” Off-field/intellectual interests: “I’ve always been fascinated with the space program. ... I’d love to be an astronaut. At the moment, being (6-1, 281), none of them are quite as big as I am.” What I’m reading now: “Right now, I’m reading The Prince, by Machiavelli. After that, I’ll move on to Paradise Lost, by Milton. I try to keep it to one a week, and if I have spare time, I’ll pick it up more.” Nerdiest thing about me: “When I was 7 or 8 years old, I could give you the name of not only every NASA mission from the first Mercury flights to the end of the Apollo program, I could name the crew and give a brief synopsis of each mission.” Sporting News’ Top 20 Smartest Athletes 1.

JACKET COLUMNIST/BLOGGERS Senior center Sean Bedford wrote a weekly blog for SportingNewsToday.com. Junior A-back Roddy Jones did a weekly video blog for Fox Sports South. Junior tackle Nick Claytor blogged and answered fan questions for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. JACKSON, JONES: CO-PRESIDENTS Yellow Jacket juniors Kyle Jackson and Roddy Jones were elected co-President of the Georgia Tech Student-Athlete Advisory Board (SAAB). In their roles, Jackson and Jones lead a group of 22 student-athletes representing all Tech sports.

GOOD BLOODLINES Kevin Cone’s father, Ronny Cone, played football at Tech from 1979-83 and later with the New York Jets... Ronny Cone experienced the Sports Illustrated cover jinx in 1982. That’s his arm and thighs on the cover of SI’s college football preview edition. Cone eventually got injured and missed the 1982 season.
THE GOLD STANDARD The Gold Standard is a campus wide effort of the Georgia Tech Athletic Association to raise awareness of sportsmanship at all Georgia Tech Athletic events by increasing positive Yellow Jacket support; creating a sense of pride in Georgia Tech venues, events, and traditions; promoting appreciation for the spirit of competition and providing a safe, healthy and respectful game day environment for all.

PUNTING? AHHH, WHO NEEDS IT? There were three games in 2009 in which Georgia Tech did not attempt a punt. Prior to 2009, the last time the Yellow Jackets did not punt in a game came in 2000. Head coach Paul Johnson has been known to go for it on fourth down. Over the last two seasons, Tech is 34-of-62 on fourth downs including 20-of37 this season. Tech has punted just 38 times this season. A Tech fan sent us the “PJ Decision Spinner” at right.

GEORGIA TECH IN LOUISIANA While Georgia Tech will play in Shreveport for the first time, the Yellow Jackets have played previously in the state of Louisiana 36 times, compiling a 24-12 record. Georgia Tech will play in Louisiana for the first time since 1982. Tech has played in Baton Rouge seven times (4-3) and in New Orleans 29 times (20-9). LSU and Tulane were frequent stops for Georgia Tech, which was a member of the Southeastern Conference from 1933-63. Tech is 4-0 all-time in bowl games played in Louisiana, posting a 4-0 mark in Sugar Bowls.

TWO TRIPS WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER IN ONE SEASON Georgia Tech’s trip to Shreveport will mark its second trip west of the Mississippi River this season. Earlier this year (Sept. 11) Tech played at Kansas -- its first game west of the Mississippi River since the 2007 Humanitarian Bowl in Boise, Idaho, and its first regular season trip west of the Mississippi since Aug. 28, 2003 at BYU. ANOTHER CONNECTION WITH AIR FORCE The Robert Cup -- awarded to the top scholar-athlete at Georgia Tech -- is given by Chip Robert, a graduate of Georgia Tech and the architect who designed the Air Force Academy Chapel -- a signature building on the Air Force campus. THE ACC IN THE INDEPENDENCE BOWL Officially, the ACC is 2-1-1 all-time in the Independence Bowl. That record does not include Virginia Tech’s 1-1 record because both Hokie appearances came while they were a member of the Big East Conference. Virginia Tech’s loss, by the way, came against Air Force in 1984. The last ACC team to play in Shreveport was Virginia, which beat TCU 20-10 in 1994. ACC teams to play in the Independence Bowl: Clemson (20-13 loss to Minnesota in 1985), Maryland (3434 tie with Louisiana Tech in 1990), Wake Forest (39-35 win over Oregon in 1992) and Virginia (20-10 win over TCU in 1994). OH, BROTHER Senior wide receiver Kevin Cone’s brother, Zach, plays baseball for arch-rival Georgia and emerged last spring as one of the top outfielders in the SEC. Senior B-back Lucas Cox’ brother, Michael, is a former three-year starting fullback at Tech and currently a member of the Kansas City Chiefs. Junior A-back Roddy Jones has a brother, Darius, playing football at Air Force. Sophomore linebacker Malcolm Munroe’s brother, Dorian, played safety last season for Florida.

TECH’S ACC LEGEND: RANDY RHINO Randy Rhino, a three-time first team All-American from 1972-74, will serve as Georgia Tech’s “Legend” at the ACC Football Championship Game weekend in Charlotte, N.C. Rhino went on to play in the NFL, WFL and CFL, but he made his mark as one of Georgia Tech’s all-time greats as a defensive back and punt returner. TWO-SPORT GUYS Junior A-back Roddy Jones played last spring for Georgia Tech’s nationally-ranked baseball team. Jones attended all 15 spring football practices and played with the Yellow Jacket baseball team on off days. Jones was drafted by the Chicago White Sox out of high school. Sophomore wide receiver Stephen Hill missed one spring practice to participate in the ACC Outdoor Track and Field Championships in the long jump. Earlier in the spring, Hill produced the third-best long jump mark in the ACC. Punter Sean Poole also played for the Tech baseball team last spring.

2010 POSTSEASON INFORMATION
Paul Johnson 2009 ACC Coach of the Year 2008 ACC Coach of the Year
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING "I think his teams in the future will compete for championships because it's the way he programs a team. I don't believe his system is just the triple option. I believe his system builds all the way from the offseason, how he... makes men out of boys. It's a mentality, and I think it's showing up in football games." -- Darryl Richard, New England Patriots "He's a very intelligent person. He knows the offense is sound. He knows it's not a gimmick offense. He knows it's based on angles and numbers. He's added wrinkles to it as people have come up with ways to stop it. He has an answer for everything when it comes to his offense." -- Navy head coach Ken Niumatalolo "I think it carries over to us a lot because we see it from him every day. When we see how competitive he is, we have no choice but to go out and play well for him." -- Senior quarterback Joshua Nesbitt “He is the most underrated coach in the country." -- Paul Meyerberg, New York Times

Game #1 September 4, 2010 Atlanta, Ga. Bobby Dodd Stadium 51,668
Redshirt freshman Jordan Webb threw three touchdown passes as Kansas beat 15th-ranked Georgia Tech, 28-25. The defending ACC champion Yellow Jackets were favored by two touchdowns over the team that lost to a mediocre Missouri Valley bunch 6-3. But they dropped several passes and aided Kansas scoring drives with a 13-yard punt, a roughing-the-passer penalty and a kickoff that went out of bounds and let the Jayhawks start on the 40. Nesbitt scored on runs of 9 and 4 yards, giving him five rushing TDs in two games. The Yellow Jackets' potent ground game amassed 291 yards and Nesbitt threw for 116 yards and a TD.

Russell Wilson passed for a career-high 368 yards and three touchdowns and NC State answered Georgia Tech's fourth-quarter rally to beat the Yellow Jackets 45-28. Wilson completed 28 of 41 passes and ran for a touchdown as State continued its best start since 2002. N.C. State gained 527 yards and scored its most points in the series with Georgia Tech. Tech scored two quick fourth-quarter touchdowns to trail only 31-28 before Wilson answered with two touchdown drives.
Joshua Nesbitt shook a rough start with a brilliant fourthquarter, throwing a 9-yard TD pass to Correy Earls with 15 seconds left in Georgia Tech's 24-20 comeback win at Wake Forest. Nesbitt had 6 yards rushing on 19 carries before leading the Yellow Jackets on three scoring drives in the final period. Josh Adams rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown for Wake. Nesbitt, who rushed for 72 yards and threw for 130, had a 50-yard run that set up Scott Blair's third field goal from beyond 40 yards, cutting the deficit to 17-9.

But Ellington struck for scoring runs of 55 and 42 yards in the opening half and added a 10-yard TD catch in the third quarter to end Georgia Tech's streak. Clemson's defense did its share in shutting down the Yellow Jackets' ACC-leading rushing attack to 242 yards, nearly 100 fewer than their average. Georgia Tech's point total was its lowest of the season. Score by Quarters Georgia Tech Clemson Team CU CU CU GT GT CU GT CU

Game #9 November 4, 2010 (Thursday) Blacksburg, Va. Lane Stadium 66,233 David Wilson returned a kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown with 2:23 to play and No. 20 Virginia Tech held on to beat Georgia Tech 28-21. Wilson's return came on the kickoff right after the Yellow Jackets tied it, 21-21. The Yellow Jackets played the second half without quarterback Joshua Nesbitt, who was injured late in the first half trying to make a tackle after throwing an interception at Virginia Tech's 1. The injury, a broken right forearm, came after he led one scoring drive, then ran 71 yards for another touchdown. The Yellow Jackets fell behind 21-14 with 6:34 to play on Tyrod Taylor's 2-yard pass to Andre Smith, but they immediately answered behind backup quarterback Tevin Washington.

Mario Butler returned an interception 85 yards for a touchdown, Tevin Washington threw a 79-yard scoring pass to Stephen Hill and Georgia Tech beat Duke 30-20 to ensure eligibility for its 14th straight bowl appearance. The Yellow Jackets defeated Duke for the 15th time in the last 16 meetings, including seven in a row. After the Blue Devils cut it to 23-20, Washington heaved up a pass on third-and-9 from his own 21. The 6-foot-5 Hill reached over shorter cornerback Ross Cockrell to snatch away the ball, then sprinted down the sideline for the TD.
Aaron Murray threw for three touchdowns and Justin Houston returned a fumble 18 yards for a score to give Georgia a 4234 victory over visiting Georgia Tech. Tech’s Anthony Allen scored on an 8-yard run with 4:57 left. But Scott Blair missed the PAT, ending a streak of 77 straight. Georgia tacked on a touchdown run by Washaun Ealey that wasn't contested by the Tech defense, which just stood around so the Yellow Jackets could get one more shot on offense. Anthony Allen rushed for 166 yards to Georgia Tech, which ran 92 plays for 512 yards and controlled the ball for 38:14.
