This Is Georgia Tech The Georgia Institute of Technology is one of the nation’s top ten public universities, with more than 900 full-time instructional faculty and more than 20,000 undergraduate and graduate students in its six colleges: Architecture, Computing, the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts, Engineering, Sciences, and Management. Georgia Tech has consistently ranked among the nation’s top ten public universities since 1999, now ranking No. 7. (U.S. News & World Report) Established by state law in 1885, Georgia Tech remains the only public institution in Georgia to offer a comprehensive array of engineering degrees in the nation’s largest programs: • Both the graduate and undergraduate engineering programs rank among the nation’s top five. • All undergraduate engineering disciplines and most graduate programs rank in the top ten. Industrial and Systems Engineering has been ranked No. 1 for the past 19 consecutive years (U.S. News & World Report). • Tech’s College of Management’s MBA program has risen to No. 22 in national rankings overall and No. 7 among public universities (U.S. News and World Report). • Engineering enrollment grew by 38 percent over the past decade. • During the 2009 academic year, Georgia Tech awarded more than 5,000 degrees, the most ever in a single year at all levels (bachelor’s, master’s, and PhD).

Academic Diversity: • There are only about two dozen endowed chairs in poetry nationwide. Two of them are at Georgia Tech.

Yellow Jackets Playing In 13th Consecutive, 38th Total Bowl Game

Georgia Tech, which won the ACC title outright for the first time since 1990, will take on Iowa Jan. 5 in the FedEx Orange Bowl at Miami Gardens’ Land Shark Stadium (8:00 p.m./Fox). The Yellow Jackets, 11-2 overall, defeated Clemson 39-34 in the Dec. 5 ACC Championship Game in Tampa, Fla. Tech (ranked 9th by Associated Press, 10th in USA Today and 9th in the BCS standings) is appearing in a bowl game for the 13th consecutive season. The Yellow Jackets will play in a major/BCS bowl game for the first time since playing in the Orange Bowl on Jan. 2, 1967. Iowa, 10-2 overall and 6-2 in the Big Ten Conference, won its first nine games of the season. The Hawkeyes are ranked 10th in the AP poll and 11th by USA Today. The Hawkeyes have seven players who were named first team All-Big Ten by the league's head coaches. The FedEx Orange Bowl will feature the coach of the year from the Atlantic Coast Conference (Paul Johnson) and the Big Ten Conference (Kirk Ferentz). Georgia Tech, 22-15 all-time in postseason bowl play, will participate in a bowl game for the 38th time. Tech ranks ninth all-time for bowl victories (22) and 12th for bowl appearances (38). Tech will play Iowa for the first time.

Georgia Tech is playing in a bowl game for the 13th consecutive season, tying for the fourthlongest current streak nationally. The Yellow Jackets are playing in their 38th bowl game overall (22-15 record). Only 11 teams in college football have more bowl game appearances. Tech’s bowl winning percentage (.595) is the fifth-highest in college football.

Tech Playing In Major/BCS Bowl Game For First Time Since 1967 Georgia Tech, despite much success throughout history, will be playing 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.

Tech-Iowa Series History

Top Receiver On Top Rushing Team

• Georgia Tech and Iowa will meet for the first time Jan. 5 in the FedEx Orange Bowl. • The Yellow Jackets have not played a team from the Big Ten Conference since beating Michigan State 17-14 in the 1985 All-American Bowl. Tech lost to Penn State in the 1991 Kickoff Classic in East Rutherford (N.J.), but the Nittany Lions did not begin participating in Big Ten football until 1993. • Tech is 6-6 all-time against teams from the Big Ten. • The Yellow Jackets are 1-2 all-time against Big Ten teams in Bowl games. They beat Michigan State in the 1985 All-American bowl. Purdue beat Tech (41-21) in the 1978 Peach Bowl. Penn State, before joining the Big Ten, beat the Jackets (30-15) in the 1961 Gator Bowl. • Iowa is 0-7 all-time vs. ACC teams (O-4 vs. Miami, 0-3 vs. NC State). • Tech’s only previous meeting with a team from the state of Iowa was a 31-30 victory over Iowa State in the 1972 Liberty Bowl. • Georgia Tech’s Paul Johnson has never previously coached against Iowa. • Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz has never coached against Georgia Tech.

Georgia Tech may become the first ACC team since 1997 and only the fifth in 40 years to lead the ACC in rushing while boasting the league’s leader in receiving yards per game. Demaryius Thomas (88.8 ypg) leads the ACC and Tech ranks first in rushing offense (307.2 ypg).

Top 10 vs. Top 10 Georgia Tech (ranked 9th in the Associated Press poll) will play Iowa (ranked 10th) in the FedEx Orange Bowl. The last time the Jackets played in a game involving two top-10 teams came on Sept. 11, 1999 when No. 1-ranked Florida State beat No. 10 Georgia Tech, 41-35, in Tallahassee.

Punting: Who Needs It? • Georgia Tech enters the Orange Bowl having not punted in 22 consecutive possessions. The Yellow Jackets have not punted since the Nov. 14 game at Duke. • In the last 20 years of Tech football, there have been only two games in which neither team punted. Those two games came in Tech’s final two games of the season -- vs. Georgia (Nov. 28) and vs. Clemson (Dec. 5). • Tech has punted in the second half of a game just once since October 3rd, vs. Mississippi State. • The Yellow Jackets have gone three-and-out on offense just 14 times in 13 games -- the fewest of any team in college football.

Two 1,000-Yard Rushers In One Season? Nesbitt Needs Nine Yards Georgia Tech juniors Jonathan Dwyer (1,346 rushing yards) and Josh Nesbitt (991) have a chance to be the first ACC duo since 1993 to rush for 1,000 yards in one season. • Georgia Tech has never produced two 1,000-yard rushers in the same 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. • Entering 2009, one team has produced two 1,000-yard rushers in the same season 46 times in NCAA history. • 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, and Dwyer

in 2008 and 2009. • The Yellow Jackets have produced a 1,000yard rusher 11 times total. ACC 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

All-American Derrick Morgan The Leader Of Tech’s Defense Junior defensive end Derrick Morgan, a first team All-American, has overcome double-team -- even triple-team -- blocking to enjoy one of the best seasons ever by a Yellow Jacket defensive lineman. • The honors have rolled in for Morgan. He was named first team All-American (AFCA and AP), second team All-American (Camp, SI and Sporting News), the ACC Defensive Player of the Year, and first team All-ACC. • Morgan has 12.5 sacks on the season, which ranks first in the ACC and sixth nationally. He is just the seventh player in Tech history to record 10 or more sacks in one season. • He has 18.0 tackles for loss, which ranks second in the ACC and tied for 18th nationally. • Morgan recovered fumbles in consecutive games against North Carolina and Mississippi State. He has six career fumble recoveries. • He forced two fumbles against Georgia (Nov. 28). • In the closing minutes of the Dec. 5 ACC Championship Game, and with Clemson driving for the potential go-ahead score, Morgan stopped Tiger quarterback Kyle Parker for no gain on 4th-and-2, sealing Tech’s first outright ACC championship since 1990. • Morgan made one of the biggest plays of Tech’s 2009 season late in regulation against Wake Forest. With the Deacons driving toward a potential game-winning field goal, Morgan sacked Riley Skinner for the third time, this time on third down, taking Wake out of field goal range and sending the game into overtime. • He finished the Wake game with 3.5 tackles for loss, 3.0 sacks and six total tackles. • He had a fumble recovery and a half-sack while helping limit UNC to just 17 yards rushing. • Morgan was at his best against Clemson (Sept. 10), recording 4.0 tackles for loss, 3.0 sacks and 10 total tackles. His 3.0 sacks were the most in a game since Oct. 28, 2006 when Philip Wheeler had 3.0 sacks against Miami. • Sept. 5 against Jacksonville State, Morgan recorded 2.5 tackles for loss, 2.0 sacks, five total tackles and a pass break-up. • He has 19.5 sacks in his career, the seventh-most in Georgia Tech history.

Nesbitt: The Gritty Engineer Of Tech’s High-Powered Offense Junior Josh Nesbitt is enjoying one of the finest seasons by a quarterback in Georgia Tech history. • He is the first Tech quarterback named first team All-ACC since Joe Hamilton in 1999. • Nesbitt was named honorable mention AllAmerica by Sports Illustrated. • Nesbitt should reach 1,000 yards rushing (he has 991) and 1,000 yards passing (1,689). Entering 2009, 48 players in NCAA history have run and passed for 1,000 yards in the same season. • Nesbitt, who has led Tech to an Atlantic Coast Conference-record 46 rushing touchdowns this year, ranks third in the ACC in scoring, averaging 8.3 points per game. • Nesbitt’s 991 yards rushing are the most

ever by a Yellow Jacket quarterback and rank as the third-most ever by an ACC QB. • His 2,023 career yards rushing make him the most prolific rushing quarterback in Tech history and ranks him second in ACC history. • Among quarterbacks, he ranks fifth nationally in rushing (76.2 ypg). • Nesbitt is the first quarterback in Georgia Tech history to rush for 100 yards in consecutive games (vs. FSU and Virginia Tech). • He has rushed for at least two touchdowns in a game six times this season. • Nesbitt has been 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.

It’s The “Spread Option” Coach Paul Johnson’s unique offense is called the “Spread Option.” It’s often mistakenly referred to as the Flexbone, the Wishbone or the Triple Option. The Triple Option is just one play within the offensive scheme.

Thomas Proving To Be One Of The NCAA’s Top Receivers Junior wide receiver Demaryius Thomas sometimes gets overlooked in an offense so efficient in the running game.

“It’s not stylish [Tech’s offense], but it sure does whip ya!” -- Bobby Bowden "Teams don't see it these days and then whammo, Georgia Tech comes out of nowhere. It's beautiful stuff." -- Barry Switzer "Right now, they [Georgia Tech] are the best one-loss team in the country. They are very experienced, tough to prepare for and exceptionably well coached." - Erik Kuselias (ESPN College GameDay, Nov. 3, 2009) "They run on whoever they want ... It’s difficult to prepare for this Paul Johnson spread option offense in one week's time." - Jesse Palmer (ESPN) "Nobody's figured it out, and there is no way to figure it out." -- Vanderbilt coach Bobby Johnson

Tech Looking To Break Four-Game Bowl Losing Streak While Georgia Tech is 22-15 all-time in bowl games, which is the fifth-highest winning percentage among all FBS teams, the Yellow Jackets have lost four consecutive bowl games. Tech’s last bowl win came in 2004 -- a 5114 victory over Syracuse in the Champs Sports Bowl.

Tech Has 3 Non-Offensive TDs Georgia Tech has scored three non-offensive touchdowns this season -- all of them by sophomore Jerrard Tarrant, who has two punt returns and one fumble return for touchdowns. Tech has as many non-offensive TDs this season as it had all of last season. Tech Non-Offensive Touchdowns Year-By-Year ‘09 ‘08 ‘07 ‘06 ‘05 ‘04 ‘03 ‘02 ‘01 ‘00 ‘99 3 3 1 3 2 2 3 0 2 4 1

The Power Of One: Morgan Burnett Owns 14 Career Interceptions Junior safety Morgan Burnett is one of the best when it comes to intercepting passes. He has four interceptions this season and 14 for his career. • His 14 career picks ties for the secondmost in Georgia Tech history and ties for the 18th-most in the history of the ACC. • Burnett has more career interceptions than any active ACC player. • Burnett has picked off two passes in a game three times in his career. • Burnett, whose seven interceptions last year tied for first nationally, is leading the Yellow Jackets in INTs for the third straight season. • He has 227 career tackles, tying for the ninthth-most ever by a Yellow Jacket defensive back.

Just How Far Can Hill Jump? Georgia Tech true freshman Stephen Hill, as a high school senior, broke the state record in the long jump with a leap of 25 feet, 8 3/4

inches. Still not impressed? Consider: • The previous record of 25' 6" was held by Christian Taylor, who won the NCAA indoor national championship in the triple jump last year. • Hill’s long jump would have won the 2009 ACC Outdoor championship by 2.75 inches. • If Hill would have participated in the most recent Olympics, he would have finished tied for ninth.

Georgia Tech One Of The Nation’s Youngest Teams • There are only six scholarship seniors on the 2009 roster: CB Martin Frierson, LB Sedric Griffin, DT Jason Hill, OG Cord Howard, OT Brad Sellers and C Dan Voss. There are also four non-scholarship seniors on the roster. • Three seniors -- Howard, Sellers and Griffin -- are starters. • Every Tech touchdown in 2009 has been recorded by non-seniors.

Seven True Freshmen Have Seen Action In 2009 Head coach Paul Johnson always says that he will get his best players on the field, regardless of class. That held true in 2009 as seven true freshmen (six on scholarship) have seen action. • Julian Burnett (LB) started two games and ranks seventh on the team in tackles (38) despite missing the Virginia game with an injury. • Orwin Smith (KR) averages 69.5 all-purpose yards per game, and 24.3 yards on 35 kickoff returns. • Stephen Hill (WR) made his first career start Sept. 26 vs. North Carolina. He has six receptions for 137 yards and a touchdown, and five carries for 84 yards and one touchdown. • Jemea Thomas (S), the back-up to Morgan Burnett at safety, has 10 tackles and a fumble recovery. • Rod Sweeting (CB) has emerged as a top back-up at cornerback, is a key part of the nickel package, and has eight tackles. • Izaan Cross (DL) started two October games, has nine tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and a fumble recovery. • Tyler Morgan (LS), a non-scholarship player, took over long-snapping duties Sept. 26.

Three Transfers Are Key For Tech Three transfers are playing key roles for Georgia Tech in 2009. Junior A-back Anthony Allen (Louisville) is starting, ranks third on the team in rushing (45.9 ypg), and he has scored six touchdowns. Junior wide receiver Kevin Cone (Shorter) started the first two games of the season and is currently out with a broken ankle. Junior B-back Preston Lyons (Colgate) is the top back-up to Jonathan Dwyer and has rushed for 139 yards and one touchdown.

Tarrant, Lyons Shake Off Rust Sophomore cornerback Jerrard Tarrant and junior B-back Preston Lyons are playing in football games for the first time since 2006. Tarrant came to the Flats in 2007 and redshirted as a true freshman. He was suspended the entire 2008 season. Lyons redshirted as a true freshman at Colgate in 2007, transferred to Tech, and sat out the 2008 season under NCAA transfer rules.

Tech Now Above .500 In Overtime Tech’s 30-27 victory over Wake Forest (Nov. 7) was its first overtime game since Sept. 23, 2003. Tech is 4-3 all-time in OT games.

The Captains Three season captains were named Sept. 13 as voted on by the players: • Morgan Burnett, Jr., S • Josh Nesbitt, Jr., QB • Derrick Morgan, Jr., DE

Tech’s Pat Swilling Heading To NFF Hall Of Fame Former Georgia Tech football All-American Pat Swilling, a leader of the Yellow Jackets' "Black Watch" defense of the mid-1980s, was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in December. Swilling played four seasons (1982-85) at Georgia Tech under head coach Bill Curry. A first team All-American and first team All-ACC selection in 1985, Swilling owns Georgia Tech records for sacks in one game (7 vs. NC State in 1985) and sacks in one season (15 in 1985). He finished his career with 285 total tackles, the second-most in school history, and 23 sacks, the fifth-most in Tech history. NFF 15 11 8 8 7 7

Tech’s 434 Wins In Bobby Dodd Stadium Ranks First No team in college football has won more games in its current facility than Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets are 434-180-21 all-time in Bobby Dodd Stadium. Most Wins In Current Home Stadium 434 Georgia Tech Bobby Dodd Stadium 427 Tennessee Neyland Stadium 407 Southern California Los Angeles Coliseum

Former Tech Announcer Ciraldo Inducted Into Georgia Radio Hall Legendary Georgia Tech football and basketball radio announcer Al Ciraldo was recently inducted into the Georgia Radio Hall of Fame. Ciraldo, who called Yellow Jacket games from 1954-1993, was one of eight inductees in a Oct. 17 ceremony. Ciraldo joined the staff of WGST radio in 1954 and broadcasted his first Georgia Tech football and basketball games that season. All told, he called 416 Tech football games and coined the phrase, “toe meets leather”. Ciraldo was also recently elected to the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame.

Georgia Tech Notebook • On a team that returned 17 starters, Georgia Tech had a high number of players (nine) who made their first career starts in the Sept. 5 season opener: A-back Anthony Allen, A-back Embry Peeples, center Sean Bedford, tackle Brad Sellers, wide receiver Kevin Cone, defensive end Robert Hall, defensive tackle Ben Anderson, defensive tackle Jason Peters and cornerback Jerrard Tarrant. • The final score of Georgia Tech’s seasonopening win over Jacksonville State (37-17) may have looked ordinary. However, it was the first game in Georgia Tech’s 117 seasons that ended with a score of 37-17. • Georgia Tech’s ESPN-televised game against Clemson (Sept. 10) drew an 11.3 rating in Metro Atlanta (261,087 households). • The Sept. 17 Georgia Tech/Miami game drew a solid 2.9 U.S. rating and 4.4 million viewers on ESPN, up a whopping 61% in ratings and 67% in viewers from a 1.8 and 2.6 million for last year's comparable Rutgers/ North Carolina game.Tech/Miami ranked as the 9th most-viewed program of the week on cable, while Georgia/Arkansas finished 14th. • Georgia Tech has 77 players on its roster from the state of Georgia. • This season marks the 105th anniversary of John Heisman’s first year as Georgia Tech’s head coach. • Georgia Tech is 13-14 all-time in ACC openers after beating Clemson 30-27 on Sept. 10. • Georgia Tech is now 79-32-3 all-time in season openers, including a 64-12-3 record when playing at home following the Sept. 5 win over Jacksonville State. The Yellow Jackets have won three straight season openers. • Tech is 86-25-4 all-time in home openers.

Paul Johnson

Coach John Heisman Paul Johnson Bobby Dodd George O’Leary William Alexander Chan Gailey

Head Coach / 2nd Year at Georgia Tech 20-6 (2 seasons) / 127-45 (13 seasons overall) Paul “Bear” Bryant National Coach of the Year Candidate Paul Johnson, the 2008 ACC Coach of the Year and CBSSports.com National Coach of the Year, is in his second season at Georgia Tech.

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 Tech to 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 season on the Flats. Johnson, however, led the Yellow Jackets to nine wins, a share of the ACC Coastal Division 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 Yellow Jackets, one of college football’s youngest teams, had to learn completely new offensive and defensive schemes.

He is just the seventh player in Tech history to record 10 or more sacks in one season. • He has 18.0 tackles for loss, which ranks second in the ACC and tied for 18th nationally. • Morgan recovered fumbles in consecutive games against North Carolina and Mississippi State. He has six career fumble recoveries. • He forced two fumbles against Georgia (Nov. 28). • In the closing minutes of the Dec. 5 ACC Championship Game, and with Clemson driving for the potential go-ahead score, Morgan stopped Tiger quarterback Kyle Parker for no gain on 4th-and-2, sealing Tech’s first outright ACC championship since 1990. • Morgan made one of the biggest plays of Tech’s 2009 season late in regulation against Wake Forest. With the Deacons driving toward a potential game-winning field goal, Morgan sacked Riley Skinner for the third time, this time on third down, taking Wake out of field goal range and sending the game into overtime. • He finished the Wake game with 3.5 tackles for loss, 3.0 sacks and six total tackles. • He had a fumble recovery, a half-sack and helped hold North Carolina to 17 yards rushing. • Morgan was at his best against Clemson (Sept. 10), recording 4.0 tackles for loss, 3.0 sacks and 10 total tackles.

Season Rushing Yards

Nesbitt is the first Georgia Tech quarterback to be named first team All-ACC since Joe Hamilton in 1999.

1. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16.

Nesbitt’s toughness and courage don’t show up in the statistics. What other quarterback can rip the ball out of a Florida State linebacker’s arms, preserving a 49-44 win? He can pass when given the opportunity. He has 20 completions of 30-plus yards and 11 completions of 50-plus yards. Nesbitt can run. He is the most prolific rushing quarterback in Georgia Tech history for a season and a career.

70 Joseph Gilbert OL / 6-4 / 280 / So.-R / Cartersville, Ga. (Cartersville) Has started 25 of Tech’s last 26 games at guard. Part of a starting offensive line that has helped Georgia Tech rank in the top five nationally each of the last two seasons in rushing offense. A management major. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

54 Sedric Griffin LB / 5-11 / 225 / Sr. / Blair, S.C. (Fairfield Central) Ranks third on the team in total tackles (72) and ranks first in solo tackles (42).

60 Brad Sellers OL / 6-2 / 257 / Sr.-R / Grand Prairie, Texas (Bowie) Graduated from Georgia Tech in December. Has started every game this season as one of the lightest offensive tackles in the ACC. Had a pin inserted into his wrist in mid-September but has not missed any action. A fifth-year senior who has paid his dues en route to becoming a starting offensive tackle in 2009. Redshirted in 2005, played sparingly on the defensive line in 2006 and began the 2007 season as a back-up at tight end. With no tight end in Paul Johnson’s offensive scheme, he moved to tackle prior to the start of the 2008 season. Can also serve as a long-snapper if needed. A high school and junior olympic champion in the discus. Nickname is “Shredder”. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11 Jaybo Shaw QB / 6-0 / 191 / So. / Flowery Branch, Ga. (Flowery Branch) Completed his first pass of the season (18 yards) and ran six times for 27 yards at Duke (Nov. 14). Had four carries for 22 yards at Vanderbilt (Oct. 31). Saw his first action under center (he played in two earlier games on special teams) at Virginia (Oct. 24). Was cleared to play for the first time this season at Mississippi State (Oct. 3), but did not see action until he was on the field for one play at Florida State (Oct. 10). He was part of the “hands” kickoff receiving team and recovered the Seminoles’ on-sides kick late in the fourth quarter. Tech’s top back-up at quarterback suffered a broken collarbone in an August scrimmage. Began throwing again on Sept. 7. Gives Tech a solid, talented quarterback behind starter Josh Nesbitt. Runs the option extremely well and proved last year against Duke (230 yards passing) that he can pass as well. The son of a high school football coach, Shaw does not shy away from contact.

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.

September 26, 2009 Atlanta, Ga. Bobby Dodd Stadium 50,114

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.

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.

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 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.
