The 1970 Sun Bowl

Georgia Tech 17, Texas Tech 9Dec. 19, 1970 / El Paso, Texas

By Jon Cooper, Sting Daily (Dec. 4, 2011)

The college football landscape was a lot different inthe 1970s than it is today.

The phrase "bowl eligible" had yet to enter the ver-nacular and six wins didn't guarantee a team anythingmore than a winning season. There also were a lotfewer bowls in which to participate (11, as opposed to35 today).

Back in 1970, conference ties wouldn't have helpedGeorgia Tech, anyway, as the school played as an in-dependent, having left the Southeastern Conference sixyears earlier.

But in 1970, Tech was a very good independent. Four seasons removed from the end of the Bobby

Dodd era, and on the heels of three consecutive 4-6finishes under Head Coach Bud Carson, the Jackets hada break out season.

Led by sophomore quarterback Eddie McAshan andthe running of Brent Cunningham and Bob Healy, anda defense featuring Consensus All-American Rock Per-doni that limited opponents to 296.4 yards of total of-fense and 14.2 points per game, the Yellow Jacketsfinished the regular season 8-3 and ranked No. 13 na-tionally.

Tech's schedule was a tough one that season, in-cluding four top-25 teams. The Jackets opened the sea-son by beating No. 17 South Carolina, 23-20, at GrantField, sparking a 4-0 start. The streak ended with back-to-back road losses to No. 20 Tennessee then at No. 8Auburn, led by Pat Sullivan, who would finish sixth inthat season’s Heisman Trophy voting.

Following the loss at Auburn, the Jackets would loseonly once more the rest of the way.

In their final game against a ranked opponent, onNov. 14, the Jackets traveled to South Bend to face top-ranked Notre Dame and quarterback Joe Theismann.Tech lost the game, 10-7, but showed enough that poll-sters moved No. 2 Texas ahead of the Fighting Irish.They would also hurt the Heisman hopes of Theismann— surname pronunciation change and all — and the NDQB would finish runner-up to Stanford's Jim Plunkett.

The Jackets finished the season on a high, knockingoff Georgia for the second straight season, 17-7 inAthens, and received a bid to play in El Paso.

Their opponent would be No. 19 Texas Tech. Thethird-place team in the Southwest Conference (behindTexas, and Arkansas), the Red Raiders would go to abowl over Arkansas despite having a lower nationalranking than the Razorbacks, one less win and twomore losses, including a 24-10 loss to Arkansas in Lub-bock.

The Georgia Tech-Texas Tech match-up would be thefirst in the game's 36-year history to feature two rankedteams and would more than live up to the hype.

The Jackets drew first blood on the initial drive, tak-ing a 7-0 lead as senior quarterback Jack Williams or-chestrated a 62-yard, 11-play drive, capped off by BobHealy's two-yard plunge.

Then the defense, led by Perdoni, took over. Theunit, which allowed 10 or fewer points over the finalfive regular season games (during which Tech went 4-1), dominated the vaunted Texas Tech running game,led by Doug McCutchen, who became the first 1,000-yard rusher in Texas Tech history in 1970, allowingthem to cross midfield only once in the first 30 minutes.

A 21-yard Jack Moore field goal in the closing minutegave the Yellow Jackets a 10-0 lead heading into thelocker room at intermission and completed what Car-son called "the best first half we've played all year."

Texas Tech got going in the second half and pulledto within a point on a McCutchen seven-yard touch-down run and a safety, as a Chip Pallman punt wasblocked out of the end zone.

Early in the fourth the Red Raiders drove deep intoGeorgia Tech territory and threatened to take the lead.But the Jackets’ defense dug in and when Tech kickerDickie Ingram misfired on a 26-yard field goal, the 10-9 lead was preserved.

Fittingly, the Yellow Jacket defense would set up thescore that put the game away late in the fourth. Line-backer Bill Flowers recovered a fumble deep in TexasTech territory and tailback Kevin McNamara scored sixplays later on a two-yard run with 1:44 to play to ex-tend the lead to 17-9, which would be the final score.

Flowers, who made eight unassisted tackles in addi-tion to the fumble recovery, was named the game’sMVP. Perdoni, who set a Sun Bowl record with four tack-les for loss as part of his 13 on the day, was namedOutstanding Lineman. His four TFLs are still fourth-mostin Sun Bowl history even though the record fell in 1984,when Tennessee's Reggie McKenzie made 4.5 TFLs.

Williams also set a record in the game, completing78.6 percent of his passes (11-of-14). That record stoodalone until Stanford's Chad Hutchinson completed 22of 28 passes in 1996.

UZZI NAMED 1ST TEAM ALL-ACC; BURNETT 2NDTEAM; ATTAOCHU, SWEETING HM

Georgia Tech junior guard Omoregie Uzzi was namedfirst team All-Atlantic Coast Conference and junior line-backer Julian Burnett earned second team honors.

Uzzi earned All-ACC honors for the second straightyear. He was a second-team selection in 2010.

Uzzi is part of a Yellow Jacket offense that leads theACC in rushing offense, total offense and scoring offense.Tech, which ranks third nationally in rushing, also eitherleads the league or is tied for the conference lead infewest sacks allowed, third-down percentage and red-zone offense.

Burnett, who earns all-conference honors for the firsttime, ranks fifth in the ACC in tackles (113). Burnett, whohas 44 more tackles than any other Tech player, leads theteam in tackles for loss (9.5), and he has forced and re-covered fumbles.

All-ACC first team for five consecutive seasons (AndrewGardner, 2007; Gardner, 2008; Sean Bedford and CordHoward, 2009; Bedford, 2010; Uzzi, 2011). Since Tech'sfirst All-ACC selection in 1982, a Jacket offensive linemanhas earned first-team honors 17 times -- more than anyother position.

Burnett is the first Yellow Jacket linebacker to earn All-ACC honors since Philip Wheeler was named second teamin 2007. Brad Jefferson was an honorable mention line-backer in 2009.

Tech has placed at least one player on the All-ACC firstteam every year since 1996.

Yellow Jacket sophomore Jeremiah Attaochu and jun-ior cornerback Rod Sweeting were named honorablemention All-ACC.

ON THE DEFENSIVE� Defensively, Tech improved its national ranking,

compared to last year, in every statistical category.� Georgia Tech has more interceptions this season

(13) than it had all of last season (8).� Oct. 29 against sixth-ranked Clemson, Tech held the

Tigers to 95 yards rushing, three first-half points andforced four turnovers.

fense leaned on Calvin Johnson (2006), Tashard Choice(2007), Jonathan Dwyer (2008, 2009) and Anthony Allen(2010), this year’s offense is more balanced:

� Three players -- Tevin Washington (74.2), DavidSims (58.2) and Orwin Smith (56.0) -- average at least 56yards rushing per game.

� Eleven different offensive players have scored atleast one offensive touchdown and six different playershave at least three TDs.

� Thirteen different players have had at least one 20-yard offensive play (rushing or receiving).

LIGHTING UP THE SCOREBOARD� Georgia Tech ranks first in the ACC and 19th na-

tionally in scoring (34.9 points per game).� The Yellow Jackets’ scoring average is their highest

since 1999.� Georgia Tech has scored in 37 of 48 quarters.� Eleven different players have scored at least one

touchdown -- five A-backs, three B-backs, two quarter-backs and one wide receiver.

� Tech is 47-of-53 (89%) scoring inside the red zone,ranking first in the ACC and tied for 12th nationally in red-zone offense.

� Tech was just the second team in ACC history toscore more than 200 points through its first four games.

� The Jackets are outscoring opponents 115-55 in thefirst quarter and 104-44 in the third quarter.

� Tech has scored in the second quarter of everygame.

TECH COULD HAVE FOUR 1,000-YARD RUSHERSThere are three career 1,000-yard rushers on the Yel-

low Jacket roster -- senior Roddy Jones (1,826), juniorquarterback Tevin Washington (1,444) and junior OrwinSmith (1,158).

There could be a fourth. Senior Embry Peeples entersthe bowl game with 976 career yards.

TECH OPPONENTS RARELY GET FLAGGED...� Georgia Tech’s opponents have been called for just

50 penalties for an average of 27.8 yards per game. TheJackets rank last in the ACC in opponent penalties.

� Three times this season -- vs. Kansas, Maryland andMiami -- Tech’s opponents were called for just onepenalty for five yards. Kansas’ only penalty -- a delay ofgame -- was taken intentionally.

.. AND TECH IS LIGHT ON PENALTIES, TOO� Georgia Tech ranks 12th nationally in fewest penal-

ties (4.5 per game).� The Yellow Jackets rank 13th nationally in fewest

penalty yards per game (37.5).

THE CLOSER: JEMEA THOMASJemea Thomas has three interceptions over the last

four games -- the first three INTs of his career -- but moreimportantly, he almost single-handedly secured GeorgiaTech’s last two victories.

� Nov. 19 at Duke, the Blue Devils were driving late inthe fourth quarter for a potential game-tying touchdownwhen Thomas intercepted a Sean Renfree pass.

� Oct. 29 in the win over sixth-ranked Clemson,Thomas recorded two fourth-quarter interceptions.

� His performance vs. Clemson -- his first career start-- earned him ACC Defensive Back of the Week honors.

� Thomas was the first Yellow Jacket with two inter-ceptions in a game since Jerrard Tarrant had two picksagainst Middle Tennessee State on Oct. 16, 2010.

� Thomas also took over as Tech’s punt returner inlate October. He has two punt returns for 21 yards.

STEPHEN HILL GIVES TECH BIG-PLAY THREATWhen junior WR Stephen Hill’s number has been called

this season, he has usually responded with a big play:� Hill has nine receptions of 40 yards or longer and

three catches of 70 yards or longer.� Four of his 26 receptions have been for touchdowns.� Has three 100-yard receiving games this season and

two games with 150 yards.� He has more than 1,200 career receiving yards.� Hill’s 181 receiving yards vs. Western Carolina were

the 15th-most single-game yards in Tech history.� Hill averages 30.2 yards per reception, which ranks

first nationally. The NCAA single-season record is 31.9yards per catch by Tulsa’s Brennan Marion in 2007.

� Not only does Hill lead the nation in yards per re-ception, he dominates the category. Only one otherplayer -- Fresno State’s Jalen Saunders (21.30 ypr) -- av-erages at least 20 yards per catch.

� Hill’s career average for yards per catch is 25.8. TheNCAA record is 24.4 by Fresno State’s Henry Ellard in1982.

� Hill, against North Carolina, made one of the greatone-handed catches in college football this season:

WASHINGTON-TO-HILL: A CAPITAL DUOOn a team known for its rushing attack, juniors Tevin

Washington and Stephen Hill have quietly developed intoone of the top home run passing combinations in Geor-gia Tech history. Three of the 24 longest pass plays inYellow Jacket history have been Washington to Hill, andtwo of those long plays (82 and 77 yards) came in theseason opener against Western Carolina.

To put Tech’s longest pass plays into perspective, con-sider that Tech’s greatest receiver, Calvin Johnson, is noton the list of the 24 longest pass plays. Also, Washington-to-Hill is the only quarterback-receiver combination thatis on the list three times. In fact, Joe Hamilton-to-Dez

White (two times) is the only other combination listedmore than once.

BURNETT FITS THE PARTAt 5-10, 220 pounds, junior Julian Burnett may not fit

the physical description of an inside linebacker in AlGroh’s 3-4 defense. However, the player Paul Johnsononce called a “heat-seeking missile” makes up for hisstature with effort and speed.

� Burnett has 113 tackles this season -- that’s 44 morethan any other Yellow Jacket player. It also ranks him fifthin the ACC and 32nd nationally.

� He has produced double-digit tackles in a game fivetimes this season.

� Burnett leads the team in tackles for loss (9.5).� He has forced one fumble and has one fumble re-

covery.

MORE EFFICIENT IN 2011Georgia Tech ranks 19th nationally in pass efficiency

(152.6). Last season the Jackets were near the bottom ofthe pack, ranking 113th in efficiency (102.00).

PAUL JOHNSON’S OFFENSE FOR DUMMIES� Georgia Tech’s offense is called the spread option. It isnot the “triple option”. The triple option is just one play, or aseries of plays, within the offense. Tech runs the triple optionroughly 20 percent of the time.� There are two A-Backs, or slot-backs, that line up outsideand behind the tackles (there is no tight end). The A-Back isa hybrid position, part runner and part receiver.� The B-Back many people call the fullback because he linesup directly behind the quarterback.� There are two wide receivers, who usually receive singlecoverage. � The quarterback is very rarely in the shotgun, but otherwisethere are more similarities with the popular spread offensesthan most people think.

HOLTON GETS ENCOURAGEMENT FROM A FALCONGeorgia Tech sophomore safety Fred Holton tore his

Achilles tendon in an August scrimmage and is out for the2011 season. The news was tough to swallow for Holton,who was competing for a starting job and had workedextremely hard over the off-season.

Holton, however, got some encouragement out of theblue from Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Harry Douglas.When Douglas, who overcame a serious injury of his own,heard the news about Holton, he reached out to the Yel-low Jacket DB via Twitter. Douglas sent a series of fourTweets to Holton, offering encouragement and giving himhis cell number.

Orwin Smith scored two of Georgia Tech's four first-quartertouchdowns, Stephen Hill caught two touchdown passes fromTevin Washington and Georgia Tech beat Western Carolina 63-21 in the opener for both teams.

The Yellow Jackets piled up 662 yards of total offense -- theirmost productive game since 2000 -- but they struggled through-out the night to hold on to the football, losing two of six fumblesand allowing a second-quarter punt to get blocked and recov-ered for a touchdown.

Brandon Pechloff, who was sacked three times, had 180 yardspassing for Western Carolina.

Georgia Tech, facing an FCS opponent that dropped to 10-46since the start of 2006, showed flashes of a formidable passinggame after ranking 119th in the nation last year.

Washington completed eight of 13 passes for 271 yards andthree TDs. No. 2 quarterback Synjyn Days was 3 of 3 passing for94 yards. Hill caught four passes for 181 yards. The yardage to-tals were career highs for all three players.

Georgia Tech had more yards passing in the first quarter(148) than it had in any game last season (130 in an Oct. 2 winover Wake Forest).

The Yellow Jackets, who led the nation in rushing last year,racked up 260 yards on the ground. Smith finished with 84yards, which included a 77-yard score, on just four carries

Western Carolina scored three touchdowns in the secondquarter but still trailed by 21 points at halftime.

Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson was surely irritated by histeam's propensity to fumble.

Leading 28-0 near the end of the first quarter, Jackets B-backCharles Perkins lost a fumble that Western Carolina's Rainey Alarecovered at the Georgia Tech 31. The Catamounts went three-and-out, but Georgia Tech's Euclid Cummings fumbled away theensuing punt return that Courtland Carson recovered at theGeorgia Tech 4.

Pechloff's 2-yard run on the next play made it 28-7. After the Catamounts had a 13-play, 64-yard drive that ended

with Michael Vaughn's 4-yard run and cut the lead to 35-14 latein the second, Georgia Tech answered with Washington's 26-yard TD pass to Roddy Jones.

But following another three-and-out by Western Carolina, theJackets allowed Ala to block a 45-yard field goal attempt thatwas recovered by Isaiah Moore and returned for a 69-yard scoreto make it 42-21 at halftime.

Tevin Washington threw a long touchdown pass and ran fortwo scores, including a 5-yarder with about 5 1/2 minutes re-maining that gave No. 25 Georgia Tech a 35-28 victory overNorth Carolina. The Yellow Jackets improved to 4-0 for the firsttime since 1990, the season they shared the national title withColorado.

The Tar Heels (3-1, 1-1 ACC) were actually the ones whofought back from a 28-14 deficit going to the final period, tyingthe game on Giovani Bernard's 55-yard run with 7:22 left.

Georgia Tech needed only four plays to respond in its con-ference opener.

Running back Roddy Jones reached out to take a pitch fromWashington that looked too far in front of him, going 48 yardsdown the sideline to the North Carolina 9. Two snaps later, withFinch and others clearing the way, Washington carried it in him-self for the winning score with 5:20 left.

Stephen Hill had a huge game for Georgia Tech with six re-ceptions for 151 yards, including a 59-yard touchdown. Bernardrushed for 155 yards and two TDs.

The Yellow Jackets came in with the nation's highest-scoringoffense (59.3 points a game) and leading in several other of-fensive categories. While not nearly as dominating as they werein the first three games, they still had another big day offen-sively, piling up 312 yards on the ground and 496 yards in all.

Washington had a fumble and an interception, but he mostlyran the offense just as it's drawn up. He completed 10 of 14passes for 184 yards, hooking up with Hill on Georgia Tech's sev-enth one-play scoring drive of the season midway through thesecond period.

Hill should've had another score, dropping a sure TD passlate in the game after he again broke free behind the secondary.He pulled up with some sort of cramp or hamstring problem justas the ball arrived, then hobbled to the sideline.

It was hard to get too mad at the 6-foot-5 receiver, especiallywith the leaping, one-handed grab he made on a pass in the

first half, somehow getting his fingers on the ball and pulling itdown as he fell hard to the ground.

Washington also ran 25 times for 74 yards, taking quite apounding from the Tar Heels.

North Carolina's Bryn Renner completed 17 of 25 for 204yards, but a couple of interceptions plagued the sophomore inhis first start outside of Chapel Hill.

The Tar Heels trailed 17-7 at halftime, and Tech drove for afield goal on the opening possession to extend its lead.

Renner and Bernard led North Carolina back. Renner com-pleted five straight passes on a right-down-the-field, 74-yarddrive the first time he got the ball, three of the completionsgoing to Dwight Jones before Nelson Hurst hauled in a 6-yardscoring pass.

Washington guided Georgia Tech on a 13-play, 81-yard driveand scored on a 1-yard dive. The Yellow Jackets also made the2-point conversion for their biggest lead.

Georgia Tech's offense kept on scoring - and the defense putup an important touchdown, too. It all added up to the YellowJackets' best start since they were national champions.

Orwin Smith rushed for three touchdowns and No. 21 Geor-gia Tech used a fourth-quarter flurry of points to beat North Car-olina State 45-35 to extend its best start in more than 20 years.

Smith finished with 74 yards and scored on runs of 13, 9 and3 yards. The Yellow Jackets (5-0, 2-0 ACC) were held to a sea-son-low 413 total yards -- they entered averaging 630.5 yardsper game -- but opened with five wins for the first time sincetheir national championship season in 1990.

Georgia Tech led 21-0, briefly allowed N.C. State to make agame of it in the third quarter and pulled away with three touch-downs in a 2-minute, 22-second span of the fourth.

Mike Glennon was 20 of 29 for 163 yards with touchdownpasses covering 9 yards to Jay Smith and 1 yard to Tyler Purvisfor the Wolfpack (2-3, 0-2).

Tevin Washington completed just four passes for GeorgiaTech -- but two were touchdowns, covering 9 yards to DavidSims and 38 yards to Roddy Jones. He rushed for 43 yards butfinished 4 of 12 for 117 yards through the air.

James Washington rushed for a career-high 131 yards for theWolfpack. His 46-yard touchdown run got N.C. State within ascore, down 21-14.

That's when Georgia Tech used a scoring flurry befitting thenation's most productive offense to take a huge lead.

Smith closed a 13-play drive that demoralized N.C. State bytaking a pitch from Tevin Washington around right end and div-ing across the goal line with 12:29 left.

On State's next offensive play, Isaiah Johnson picked offGlennon's pass and returned it for a score, and Tevin Washing-ton hit Jones deep for a TD that made it 42-14 with 10:07 left.

N.C. State made things interesting with two touchdowns inthe final 34 seconds, including Brandan Bishop's 33-yard returnof Synjyn Days' fumble with 20 seconds left to finish the scoring.

Glennon made it 21-7 with 1:15 left in the half on his scor-ing pass to Smith, and N.C. State got within a score on Wash-ington's long touchdown run on its first play of the second half.

That came after it looked as though the Yellow Jackets wouldhave their way against an N.C. State team that entered with oneof the worst -- and most injury-riddled -- defenses in the ACC.

Smith capped each of Georgia Tech's first two drives withtouchdown runs. Four plays after Jemea Thomas took a snap ona fake punt and rumbled 27 yards for a first down, Smith took apitch through the right side and ran 13 yards for a score.

Then, he made it 14-0 with 3:34 left in the first quarter whenhe took a handoff 9 yards for his second touchdown.

Washington then made it 21-0 with his short flip to Sims onthe first play of the second quarter, giving Georgia Tech a 173-30 advantage in total yards.

GAME #5

(21/21) Georgia Tech 45NC State 35

October 1, 2011 | Raleigh, N.C.Carter-Finley Stadium | 55,811

Tevin Washington ran for 120 yards and two touchdowns andNo. 13 Georgia Tech's least impressive offensive showing of theseason was enough to beat Maryland 21-16.

Georgia Tech led 21-3 before holding off the Terrapins'fourth-quarter comeback.

Georgia Tech (6-0 overall, 3-0 Atlantic Coast Conference)matched its wins total from 2010, when it finished 6-7. The Yel-low Jackets averaged almost 52 points in their first five wins andbegan the day ranked first in the nation in rushing and secondin scoring.

Quarterback C.J. Brown, who replaced starter Danny O'Brien,had a 77-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter forMaryland (2-3, 1-1). Davin Meggett, who had 86 yards rushing,scored from the 1 with 7:33 remaining to cut the lead to 21-16.

But Maryland was stopped on a fourth-and-8 play from its 46on Brown's incomplete pass with 2:31 remaining, ending itscomeback bid.

Brown was 4-of-17 passing for 36 yards and an interception.He had nine carries for 124 yards.

O'Brien was replaced after completing only 1 of 6 passes for17 yards and an interception.

Washington had scoring runs of 7 yards in the first quarterand 3 yards in the third. Orwin Smith had a 10-yard scoring runin the second quarter.

Maryland's only points in the first three quarters were NickFerrara's 30-yard field goal at the end of a 14-play drive on theTerrapins' first possession.

Washington was Georgia Tech's leading rusher, but he strug-gled as a passer as he completed only 6 of 19 passes for 114yards and an interception.

Maryland is left with a possible quarterback controversy.Coach Randy Edsall pulled O'Brien after the sophomore's sec-ond-quarter interception, his sixth of the year.

Brown took over and remained in the game after he waspicked off by Rod Sweeting in the end zone in the third quarter.

GAME #6

Maryland 16(13/13) Georgia Tech 21

October 8, 2011 | Atlanta, Ga.Bobby Dodd Stadium | 45,905

Georgia Tech led 14-3 at halftime but wasted two second-quarter chances to stretch the lead.

Linebacker Quayshawn Nealy, making only his second careerstart, intercepted a pass from O'Brien to give the Yellow Jacketsthe ball at Maryland's 28. A false-start penalty helped stall thedrive after one first down, and Justin Moore was wide left on a34-yard field goal attempt.

Maryland turned to Brown on its next possession. Maryland left guard Andrew Gonnella was taken off the field

in an ambulance after suffering an apparent left leg injury in thefourth quarter.

With most Maryland players standing or kneeling on the field,the game was delayed for about 15 minutes as medical person-nel from each team worked in a circle around Gonnella. A cartwas first driven on the field but then left as the ambulance fol-lowed.

The Virginia Cavaliers beat No. 12 Georgia Tech at its owngame, 24-21.

Georgia Tech (6-1, 3-1), off to its best start since 1966, camein with one of the nation's top offenses, but it was held to justtwo pass completions and a season-low 296 yards by a Virginiadefense that made the most of an extra week to prepare.

The Cavaliers (4-2, 1-1 ACC) sealed the victory by holdingonto the ball for the final 6 minutes, making five first downs toget inside the Yellow Jackets' 5.

But they didn't need to score, and when quarterback MichaelRocco took a knee for a 3-yard loss on the game's final play,thousand of fans surged onto the field at Scott Stadium.

Kevin Parks ran for one touchdown for Virginia, Rocco hit TimSmith for a 37-yarder and Clifton Richardson had a 22-yard run,all in the first half, as Virginia built a 24-14 lead.

Georgia Tech almost struck very quickly to start the secondhalf, with Tevin Washington running 85 yards on the first playfrom scrimmage, but the play was called back by a penalty.

The Yellow Jackets then did it the hard way, using 19 playsand converting two fourth-and-1 plays and a fourth-and-5 beforeWashington scored on a 1-yard run. The fourth-and-5 was ini-tially a fourth-and-10, but defensive tackle Nick Jenkins wascalled for being offsides, and Washington ran for 23 yards onthe next play to the Cavaliers' 5 and scored two plays later.

The teams traded punts the rest of the way until Virginia tookover at its 23 with just under 6 minutes left. Jones started withruns of 11 and eight yards, caught an 18-yard pass from Roccoto convert a third-and-6 from the Virginia 49 and the Cavaliersnever gave it up.

Virginia gained 407 yards against former coach Al Groh's 3-4 defense.

The Yellow Jackets erased a 14-0 deficit with two touchdownsin 98 seconds in the second quarter. Washington capped an 80-yard drive with a 7-yard touchdown run, and Rod Sweeting in-tercepted a Rocco pass three plays later and returned in 32 yardsfor the tying touchdown.

Freshman David Watford came on at quarterback for one se-ries for Virginia, and led a 72-yard scoring drive. He bulled hisway for a first down on third-and-1, and also carried it the last22 yards for the go-ahead touchdown.

When Chase Minnifield intercepted a deep pass by Washing-ton on the ensuing series, Rocco came back and led them 41yards in eight plays to Robert Randolph's 36-yard field goal.

Virginia struck quickly at the start with two touchdowns inthe first 8:20.

The Cavaliers drove 73 yards after the opening kickoff, a drivekept alive by Rocco's 8-yard pass to Tim Smith on third-and-3from the 23. Two plays later, Parks took it in from the 6.

The Yellow Jackets were penalized twice on their opening se-ries, riling up the small crowd at Scott Stadium, and when Roccohit Smith for 37 yards and a 14-0 lead, it got really loud.

JoJo Nicholas recovered a fumbled punt for a touchdown plusadded an interception, Lamar Miller ran for 93 yards and a scoreand Miami's banged-up defense was dominant as the Hurricanestopped No. 20 Georgia Tech 24-7 -- holding the high-octane Yel-low Jackets more than 300 yards and nearly 36 points belowtheir season averages entering the game.

Mike James also had a touchdown run for Miami (4-3, 2-2 At-lantic Coast Conference), which won consecutive games for thefirst time this season and has now beaten Georgia Tech threestraight times.

Georgia Tech (6-2, 3-2) came into Saturday averaging 517yards of offense. The Yellow Jackets got only 211 on Saturday,their lowest total since a loss to Iowa in the Orange Bowl afterthe 2009 season. In its last 35 games, Georgia Tech has rushedfor less than 200 yards only three times, all at Sun Life Stadium--95 at Miami in 2009, 143 in the Orange Bowl and 134 in thisone.

Washington threw right to Nicholas on the Yellow Jackets'first offensive snap of the game, a mistake that set Miami up atthe Georgia Tech 46. It was doubly costly for the Yellow Jackets,with center Jay Finch going down with what appeared to be aknee injury and eventually getting carted off the sideline for eval-uation.

The Hurricanes needed 12 plays to score from there, Harrisextending the drive with a 13-yard pass to Phillip Dorsett onfourth-and-3 from the 39, and James later capping it with a 2-yard run for a 7-0 Miami lead.

With 10:17 left in the half, Nicholas found himself again inthe right place at the right time for Miami.

Zach Laskey dropped back to receive a punt for Georgia Tech,the bouncing ball coming straight at him as he stood at the 9-yard line. He tried to grab it as a horde of Hurricanes sprinted to-ward him, misplayed it and could only watch as the football keptgoing into the end zone. Nicholas dove on it just past the goalline for a touchdown that put Miami up 14-0.

GAME #8

(20/19) Georgia Tech 7Miami 24

October 22, 2011 | Miami Gardens, Fla.Sun Life Stadium | 43,716

In the first half alone, Georgia Tech failed on a fake-punt at-tempt, had the interception to help create one Miami touchdownand then the blown punt return to give the Hurricanes sevenmore points. Nonetheless, with 1:02 left in the half, the YellowJackets were within 14-7.

A 20-play, 92-yard drive for Georgia Tech on the scoreboard.Washington completed all three of his attempted passes duringthe marathon possession, plus rushed the ball nine times for 22yards--including a 1-yard touchdown plunge.

Travis Benjamin ran the ensuing kickoff back 48 yards, andHarris hit Tommy Streeter with a 32-yard gain on first down toget Miami to the Georgia Tech 14. Two plays later, Miller ran upthe middle for a touchdown from there with 25 seconds left inthe half, restoring the 14-point cushion and getting help from asealing block by guard Jon Feliciano.

It was a costly celebration. Feliciano got hurt jumping aroundafter the score, leaving the game with a leg injury. He rejoinedhis teammates on the sideline late in the third quarter, oncrutches and wearing a walking boot on his left ankle. An X-raywas negative, but Golden is not sure of Feliciano's status.

Tevin Washington rushed for 176 yards and broke the twolongest runs of his career, leading Georgia Tech to a 31-17 upsetof No. 6 Clemson and likely snuffing out the Tigers' national titlehopes.

The Yellow Jackets (7-2, 4-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) racedto a 24-3 halftime lead and held off Clemson (8-1, 5-1) whichwas off to its best start since 2000. The Tigers had climbed tofifth in the BCS standings.

The Yellow Jackets snapped a two-game losing streak behindtheir junior quarterback, who had runs of 46 and 56 yards andtouchdown among his 27 carries.

Clemson, which had scored 115 points in its two previousgames, turned it over four times. Tajh Boyd threw for 295 yards,and freshman Sammy Watkins had 10 catches for 159 yards anda touchdown.

Clemson drove right down the field on its first possession be-fore Georgia Tech stiffened at its own 16. Chandler Catanzarocame on to knock through a 34-yard field goal.

But the tide swung toward the Yellow Jackets when D.J.Howard caught a pass out of the backfield, but lost the ball justbefore he hit the ground. The officials initially ruled him down,but changed the call after a video review. Rod Sweeting wascredited with a recovery at the Clemson 19, and the GeorgiaTech offense took it the rest of the way, Orwin Smith going infrom the 1 on fourth down.

After forcing a Clemson punt, Washington broke off the 46-yard run -- the longest of his career, though that mark wouldn'tlast long -- and Georgia Tech stretched its lead to 10-3 on JustinMoore's 23-yard field goal.

The Yellow Jackets went 80 yards in 10 plays to make it 17-3 on Smith's 3-yard TD run.

Stephen Hill stretched out with both arms to make a divingcatch, pulling the ball into his body with the left hand beforeslamming into the turf. He rolled over and did a little dance withhis arms, celebrating the 44-yard completion.

Two plays later, Washington ran it in from the 3 to push thelead to 24-3 with just 37 seconds left in the half.

Coming out of halftime, the Tigers took the kickoff andneeded only four plays to reach the end zone for the first time.Boyd hooked up with Watkins on a 48-yard touchdown pass tomake it 24-10.

But Georgia Tech quickly answered. With Georgia Tech facingthird-and-6 and the Clemson defense waving their arms to revup a sizable contingent of orange-clad fans, Washington spotteda hole up the middle and took off for the 56-yard gain.

David Sims finished the drive with an 11-yard touchdown run,restoring Georgia Tech's 21-point lead.

Virginia Tech's towering quarterback Logan Thomas proved tobe extremely difficult to tackle as No. 10 Virginia Tech took ahuge step toward the Atlantic Coast Conference championshipgame, beating Georgia Tech (No. 21 BCS, No. 20 AP) 37-26.

The 6-foot-6, 254-pound sophomore accounted for fivetouchdowns, while David Wilson rushed for a career-best 175yards as the No. 10 Hokies eliminated 20th-ranked Georgia Techfrom the ACC race.

The Yellow Jackets (7-3, 4-3) were eliminated from theCoastal Division race.

Georgia Tech quarterback Tevin Washington ran for threetouchdowns, but the Hokies took the lead for good on Thomas'12-yard run in the final minute of the third quarter. The play wastypical for the big QB, who lowered his head and bulled his wayto the end zone.

The Yellow Jackets decided to go for it on fourth-and-1 at hisown 31. Washington tried to get it on a keeper, but he wasstopped about a foot short.

From there, Virginia Tech moved in and converted their ownfourth-and-1, but that was an easier to call with make withThomas to carry it. He made his way for a 5-yard gain, thenhooked up with Chris Drager for his first career touchdown, a14-yard pass on third down that made it 34-26.

Cody Journell sealed the victory, knocking through a 23-yardfield goal with 3:02 remaining.

After a wild final minute to the second quarter, in which theteams combined for three scores that left Virginia Tech with a21-13 lead, the Yellow Jackets took the second-half kickoff anddrove it right down the field.

Washington broke off a 35-yard run and also benefited froma personal foul penalty on Jack Tyler, who whacked Embry

GAME #11

(rv/23) Georgia Tech 38Duke 31

November 19, 2011 | Durham, N.C.Wallace Wade Stadium | 18,747

From the first snap, the biggest plays just didn't fall for PaulJohnson and Georgia Tech.

Georgia Tech, best known for its option running game, triedto surprise Georgia with a trick play when receiver Tyler Meltontook the ball on a reverse, stopped and threw deep for runningback Embry Peeples. Melton's pass floated and fell incomplete.

It was only the first missed opportunity for No. 25 GeorgiaTech in Saturday's 31-17 loss to No. 13 Georgia.

Johnson's Yellow Jackets couldn't stay close in losing thestate bragging rights for the third straight year and the 10th timein the past 11 years.

Another telling sequence came later in the first half whenJohnson called a timeout just before Georgia's Blair Walsh wasabout to try a 41-yard field goal. Johnson called timeout only tosee Walsh miss the attempt after a high snap.

Thanks to Johnson's timeout, Walsh had another chance, andthis time he made the kick to give the Bulldogs a 17-10 lead.

Added Johnson: "Trust me, if I'd have known they wouldhave a bad snap, I wouldn't have called timeout."

Georgia's second chance for the field goal looked big whenthe game was still close in the second quarter. Johnson wouldhave been second-guessed if the Bulldogs had won by only threepoints. Instead, Georgia led by three touchdowns in the fourthquarter.

Johnson won his first game in the rivalry in 2008, but has lostthree straight to Mark Richt's Bulldogs.

Georgia (10-2) scored 17 straight points to lead 31-10 beforeGeorgia Tech (8-4) scored its only points of the second half onOrwin Smith's 16-yard run with 6:32 remaining.

Georgia Tech's other touchdown came on David Sims' 5-yardrun in the second quarter.

Aaron Murray threw four touchdown passes for Georgia,which will play top-ranked LSU in next week's Southeastern Con-ference championship game in the Georgia Dome.

Murray said the Bulldogs were careful to put the SEC cham-pionship game aside until taking care of the state rivalry game.

Johnson said a key was his defense's inability to reach Mur-ray, who was sacked only once.

Murray extended his school record for touchdown passes ina season to 32, hooking up with Michael Bennett and Chris Con-

ley in the first half, and Tavarres King and Aron White in the thirdquarter.

Georgia Tech rushed for 243 yards, but just 79 after halftime. Freshman Synjyn Days replaced quarterback Tevin Washing-

ton in the fourth quarter and completed 3 of 5 passes for 78yards, including a 36-yard pass to Stephen Hill to set up Smith'stouchdown run.

Georgia won without freshman star tailback Isaiah Crowell,who was in uniform but didn't play because of a left ankle injury.

The Bulldogs improvised. Defensive backs Branden Smith andBrandon Boykin both lined up in the backfield, with Smith get-ting five carries. Alexander Ogletree broke off a key 21-yard gainon the first carry by a Georgia fullback this season. Receiver Mal-colm Mitchell had a 20-yard run.
