There’s no stopping Georgia Tech this time around
Jonathan Dwyer ran for two touchdowns, and Georgia Tech is on run of eight straight wins.
DURHAM, N.C. — Don’t misunderstand. It’s not like Georgia Tech reached some new plateau Saturday. This isn’t the first time the Jackets have won 10 games in a season, nor the first time they’ve clinched a berth in the ACC title game, nor certainly the first time they’ve beaten Duke.
But there is a difference in 2009. A different feel about what’s going on. A different expectation for what comes next. A 10-1 record, a trip to Tampa, a 49-10 win over Duke — this is not as good as it’s going to get for Tech. There is no ceiling. Only three more potential wins.
“We’re not satisfied,” running back Jonathan Dwyer said. “We won the ACC Coastal Division today, and, don’t get me wrong, that’s good and we’re going to celebrate. But we haven’t finished what our main goals were, which is to win the ACC and be in a BCS bowl game, and then win the BCS bowl game. And right now our minds are on Georgia.”
Even Paul Johnson found it difficult to be upset about too much Saturday.
Their minds were on Georgia three years ago. Just not like now. In 2006, the Jackets thumped Duke, 49-21. But even at 9-2, Chan Gailey didn’t have universal support. Even at 9-2, there was an uncertainty about the team, and the head coach, among the fan base.
In the next three games, it was reaffirmed why. The Jackets lost to Georgia (again). Then they lost to loss to Wake Forest in a dreary ACC championship game (9-6). Then they lost to West Virginia in the Gator Bowl. A 9-2 record with a No. 16 ranking turned into 9-5 and a mile from the top 25.
Gailey was given one more season by the new athletics director, Dan Radakovich. Then he was gone. Radakovich wanted a coach who would elevate the Jackets to higher ground and excite the fan base. When he hired Navy’s Paul Johnson, it was like plugging the program into a wall socket. Johnson has coached 24 games. He is 19-5. Cue the trumpets.
“Sure,” Johnson said when asked if he thought this was possible so soon. “We just missed it last year. … The thing these guys have done is they’ve bought in and worked hard. Sometimes I get after them. I got in the face of a couple of them today, even when the score got to be [one-sided]. They’ve learned to accept that and go on. Other kids might not. So my hats off to them. They’ve earned it.”
The Jackets stumbled out of the gate, falling behind 10-0. “We didn’t adjust,” Johnson said later, “we just started playing better.”
Duke punted on its next four possessions. Tech scored touchdowns on four of its next five. Game over.
Backups took over in the third quarter when the score grew to 42-10. It was welcome time off for the starters, who’ve labored for 16 straight weeks of practices and 11 straight games without a bye. Now, they can embrace the bye week before the Georgia game. The season could not have unfolded any better since that loss at Miami in Week 3. Tech has strung together eight straight wins and climbed to seventh in the rankings.
“We were devastated after losing that game,” said Dwyer, who in the past four games has rushed for 610 yards and six touchdowns. “Coach told us at that time that the good teams don’t lose two games in a row, and we’ve used that as momentum ever since.”
Long after the game, you could still hear Tech players shouting from outside the locker room.
“We’re excited,” Johnson said. “A lot of people have doubted them along the way, especially early. And they’ve just been resilient. Sometimes it’s not pretty, and they do some dumb things. But the bottom line is they found a way to win.”
Three years ago, we stopped counting wins after the Duke game. Nothing suggests that’s going to happen this time.

From a Georgia grad and fan: Congratulations to Georgia Tech, their fans, and Coach Johnson & his staff!
Great season represented by toughness, grit, and determination. Something that my team used to do until Brian Van Gorder left Athens, and now we’re reduced to a hapless, undisciplined, and soft UGA team under Richt. Expect to win BIG against my Dawgs in Atlanta and rush for over 400+ yards with 50+ points.
In all truthfulness, congratulations on an excellent season and fully expect to win the ACC Title. Envious of what Coach Johnson has established in Atlanta.

Maybe if I DID have universal support, like you all seem to be giving Paul Johnson just because he got lucky on a couple dumb fourth down calls, we WOULD have beaten Georgia and Wake forest in 2006. This is unbelievable. Wait until you don’t have my recruits any more…. they would be in the top 3 in the country if they were actually running the offense they were recruited for!

By the way, that UGA basketball promo pop-up when you open the sports section is annoying to the nth degree. Nothing could be more irrelevant now than that.

The folks who keep expecting – or are they hoping? – opposing defenses to “figure out” Tech’s offense should keep this mind: the Yellow Jackets are still a work in progress.
For example, depending on whether or not they were redshirted, UGA’s seniors have been running Saint Mark Richt’s offense for four or five seasons. That’s four or five years of spring practice, preseason practice, regular season practice, offseason workouts, etc.
On the other hand, Tech has been running Paul Johnson’s offense for less than two years. And don’t forgot that most of the Jackets were recruited to run an entirely different scheme.
Just think how proficient Tech’s offense will be once Johnson has been there for five years and the roster is stocked with players who were recruited specifically for his system.

It takes awhile, Beatiful Monte. Imagine how good those recruits would be in MY offense — the right one for them. In year six, I was planning on putting it all together. Doubtful CPJ will be able to do much better once all my recruits graduate.

Not to be a kiljoy, but might we assume that come the practice field Monday, Johnson is going to go off with some 10,000 BTU steam at safeties, cornerbacks and the defensive coaches? When did they stop teaching how to wrap up a tackle? I guess I’ve seen more missed tackles, though I’d have to think about it, but never so many where the runner went on for another 10-12 yards and first downs. It looked like they were trying to get on Sports Center with a big hit, which is interpreted as throwing shoulders into runners. Betcha some blisterings take place in the film sessions.

I know that “Chan” is just messing around but what an indictment on Gailey that he was fired from KC in addition to Tech and the Dallas Cowboys. Is there any place he hasn’t been fired?
Gailey is history – literally. Whoever would hire him in the future is a fool.
Tech needs to temporarily forget this ACC business and focus on the real championship in November – the GA Championship.
I want CPJ to do nothing the next two weeks but to plot how he is going to lay 50+ on this under-performing, consistently over-rated UGA team, so that Richt can really feel uncomfortable the next 8 months.
Ol’ 35 year old Nesbitt needs to rest up for the big one in two weeks.
Let’s force Evans to make the ultimatum to Richt to relieve Martinez of his duties. I would love to be a fly on the wall for that conversation!

A few items after todays game against Duke:
GA Tech’s 7 ACC wins ties for the most ACC wins in a season in school history (1998, 2006).
This is the Jackets best overall record since 1990 National Championship Season.
This is the Jackets most road wins since 1998.
GA Tech’s 8 game winning streak marks its 5th longest winning streak in school history.
This is the Jackets most wins versus Coastal Division teams since 2006.
Since the formation of the 2 ACC Divisions, GA Tech is now 17-8.
The Jackets 19 wins in the past 2 seasons is the 3rd most for 2 seasons in GA Tech history.
Today’s game against Duke was the 4th game of the season that the Yellow Jackets have scored over 40 points.
The Jackets 519 yards of total offense is the 9th game out of 11 where the team has had over 400 yards of total offense. It’s also the 3rd time in 4 games they’ve had over 500 yards of total offense in a game.
Stephen Hill’s TD reception makes him the 4th different Jacket receiver with a TD reception this season.
Jonathan Dwyer went over 1200 yards today. It marked his 16th 100 yard game in his career tying him with former Jacket great, PJ Daniels. Jonathan has now also had 4 consecutive 100 yard games, which is the 3rd most in GA Tech history. Jonathan’s 32 career rushing TD’s rank him 2nd in GA Tech history.
Josh Nesbitt had a 289.8 passing efficiency today. That’s the second best in GA Tech history behind George Godsey (Navy 2001).
The team will be off the next 2 days, and then no physical contact until Wednesday. The team will practice Wednesday – Friday and then take the following weekend off.
GA Tech’s Coaches will be on the road on Monday recruiting.

My dad pulled for both when he moved to Atlanta over 30 yrs ago, but got turned off of UGA by some of the bad fans, it probably would’ve been different if he ran into some of the nicer fans like U back then.

2009 ACC Coastal Division champions. Has a nice ring. Three games left to go to finish off the greatest Tech season in a LONG time. Congratulations to CPJ and the Jackets for a wonderful season so far. Now we just have to “hunker down” and close it out. Most years I kinda dread the U[sic]GA game…this year, these next two weeks can’t come fast enough

Man, I thought this game was going to be close. Was I ever wrong! Thaddeus Lewis looked lost today. The coverage was pretty good, the DL played well, and our Achilles heel, the underneath routes, were bottled up. Yes, we missed tackles – especially when the second and third string were in, but the scoreboard says it all. To think that I was concerned that the 2nd ranked passing offense in the ACC was going against our sorry secondary.
On to UGA: Auburn played well in its first two drives while UGA played as it has all year. Then something happened to UGA’s defense. For some reason they started playing well. Maybe Mercury was in retrograde, but I think they actually started to stick to their assignments! I hope they don’t get used to playing that way. If so, the game on the 28th will be a little more interesting.

Chan took us to heights. We won some things. We had a good team. Probably our best pro player in Calvin Johnson went to the NFL to re Tech during Gailey’s reign. But why did he get fired? Beat Georgia.

Bet your butt that the Dawgs would LOVE to derail this season for us (all part of Good Old Fashioned Hate). Dawgs looked impressive after the first quarter tonight. Let’s celebrate and enjoy the Coastal Championship for a day or two and then get really serious. We can’t spot the Dawgs 10 points like we did Duke. We need to come out on fire and never, NEVER let up. It’s time for this team to put together their best 60-minute game of the season.

paynomind and others, if you’ve been following GT you would know that CPJ learned that day 1. Chan, you never got it.
I too was actually worried that we might go to Durham and stumble. But it looks like the days of losing when you are not supposed to are over. 4 years ago Chan had an incredibly talented team and his poor coaching lost the last 3 games to ruin what should have been a great season. Now I don’t have to worry about that. If we get beat it will be because the other team is better, not because our coach has no guts, doesn’t have the right game plan or simply “didn’t have the team ready to play”.
Yes, the Puppies would love to ruin our season with a win in 2 weeks, and until yesterday I was worried about the game. But the Chan era has been completely washed away and I can now be confident that my team will play to their abilities and not overlook inferior opponents.
It’s great to be a TECH fan now. I’m going to enjoy being at the next 2 games and cheering the brave and bold.

Notre Dame got more TV coverage for blowing their game. Tech is rarely mentioned outside of the AJC.

We do not claim “Kevin” as one of ours….an imposter: ( Dude! Go to bed. Whoa.
With both of our Ds looking like Swiss cheese, what do y’all think the o/u will be in this game? 60?, 70?, 80? Yikes! I think the higher the scoring the better the chance for you all to mess up, and give us a chance to slide a W. If it is somewhat tight, I guess that you all beat us by 7. Your O is too sound! Again, if it is a shoot out then the dice roll and the ball could bounce our way.
Anyway, after last night with AU I feel a LITTLE better but if you all come out hard and don’t let up on the pedal you should beat us. (Personally, I think you will do this because you have a hell of coach who prepares his players). If you let us hang out with you late into the game, then you are playing with fire.
See you in a few. Again, congrats and good luck on the trip to Tampa.

Don’t underestimate Clemson. I mean, let’s look at the game during Week 2 (that I was at). Clemson made two big mistakes that cost them 14 points. The other score came on that long run where a defender missed his responsiblity. (All that happened in the first quarter). Other than that, the defense was able to hold that offense in check. And only gave up 10 points after the first quarter.
And now that Clemson defense has bought into the defensive coordinator’s (Kevin Steele) is the best defense in the ACC. They have the ends, linebackers that can stop or limit Tech’s offense.
So I think the last team that Tech wants to see is Clemson. Not saying that Tech will lose, but that game really will be a toss up and a game that Clemson can win too.
Don’t be so quick to crown yourselves. GO TIGERS!

All this talk about the GT game in week 2 is futile. Both teams are different than then. Both are much better. It will be a great game but I look at the coaching and give a big advantage there. PJ v/s Dabo? Come on. Clemson has 3 losses with one being to horrible Maryland. They rely basically on one player. Contain him and they are very limited. The refs helped them win yesterday. The fumble that was called not a fumble, which was worse than any sec call this year, assuered clemson of a W. The game would have been within 6 without that bad call. Having next week off is big for GT. It allows them to prepare for UGA and Clemson and rest up. The timing couldn’t be better imo.

Did you see the Jackets poor tackling yesterday? The defense, on whole, had a much better day yesterday, but I’m thinking some of that was due to the lack of competition. We need to be realistic.

The Dawgs will put everything they have into the Tech game. One reason is that CMR knows that losing to Tech is one of only two things that will get him fired. Since UGA is going to the “who cares” bowl they are looking to Tech as the only route to redemption. If UGA wins, CMR can keep Martinez. CMR has huge motivation to win in Atlanta.
PJ needs to be reminded by DRAD that this is the biggest game of the year for Tech. The ACC schedule is just a warmup. The ACC champ game is equally impt but a bowl game, unless you’re playing for #1, is 2nd priority. Nevertheless, thanks for a great season (SO FAR) jackets.

“Glaring dominance and supremacy of SEC.”
Are tech fans really talking smack about the same team that demolished them in the bowl game last year? That game wasnt nearly as close as the score even reflected, it was a total domination start to finish, that gimmick offense is useless against a team that has a month to prepare, its why playoffs appeal to PJ, its the only way he could win a NC at tech. Whats going to be great is if GT gets into the bcs game and then gets demolished by BSU or TCU.

“If UGA wins, CMR can keep Martinez.”
From everything I have heard, willie is done after this season, quite a few of the huge boosters wanted him gone after the Tennessee game for the piss poor look of the defense, getting beat by a better team is one thing but having a defense look completely lost is unacceptable. Win or Lose its pretty safe to say willie is gone before spring.

No, whats amazing is that is the same Fing team that killed GT in their bowl game last year, get over it La Tech isnt horrible but I have said all year that LSU is not a top 10 team, they are top 20 at best and this is still a team that demolished that offense when given extra time to prepare for it. GT’s only hope at winning a bcs game is if they play a big 12 opponent(well that isnt texas)

GT wins by 4 tds over an outmanned, out coached tech team with far better players. The game being at tech, the reds have no shot. It’s going to be fun going on a 10 game winning streak against that useless team.

If UGA loses to UK, all the better, they will still get wiped out by GT.

And still GT’s home games wont sell out, nice fan support tech fans, that is really pathetic since your stadium is roughly half the size of sanford. Thats ok UGA fans will buy out half of your tickets and turn any game within a short drive from athens into a home game. Whats really funny is that when GT never had a shot the stadium was basically an UGA home game and Im sure this year the stands will be about 60%-70% bulldog fans win or lose.

If GT prepairs as if UGA is the team ranked in the top 10 then I give us a good chance to win this game. If not, I would not be surprised to see Joe Cox have the best game of his career and UGA play their best overall game of the year!! Last year CPJ and the players were simply more hungry!!! UGA will be very hungry this year!! Either way, THIS IS THE BIGGEST GAME OF THE YEAR!!! PERIOD!!!
As for you CLUMPSON trolls on this blog, I don’t give a crap about you for the next two weeks. IF you happen to win the Atlantic, I look forward to CPJ and GT beating you AGAIN and exending our winning streak to four!! Hope to see you in Tampa……

I guess he thinks the mutts’ beating the turkey-buzzards last night actually meant something. It’s not like Auburn was a ranked team or anything, and if the Auburn coach were not a total idiot, passing when it was obvious they could have run all over the mutts all night long, the result would have been far different. the mutts have NO rushing defense, and since the Jackets have the number 2 rushing team in the country, look out; it could get nasty.

Oh buzzwax you give cox waaaaaaaay too much credit, if I had a choice between him or reggie ball, I would take reggie.
Joe is the worst QB ever to start this many games at UGA, but if they can get that running game going, it may be close and dont worry about receivers, they are stacked at that position for years to come, AJ being down is a minor loss but may end up helping UGA in the short term since teams wont know who to cover as a primary threat.

boogie, I see you’re still hurting for something useful to do. Au was probably not as tough as Duke, because Duke, at least supposedly, had a good passing attack. And Au is definitely not as tough as Clemson. While we’re at it, who did the mutts play for homecoming? Who did Tech play for homecoming? That would be Tenn-Tech for the mutts, and Va Tech for the Jackets…..BIG BIG difference. It might interest you also to know that in the histories of the two schools, Tech has won more conference championships than UGAG—15 (hopefully soon to be 16) to 13 (possibly 14). And that includes the times that both schools were in the same conferences (SAIA, Southern, and SEC), plus Tech’s time in the ACC. Along with the disparity in national championships, other than beating Tech way too many times since 1964, the mutts really don’t have that much of a football history compared to Tech. Of course, the past doesn’t mean a thing, other than for bragging; it’s what happens in 2 weeks that matters, and it COULD be a rout by the Jackets.

I won’t say GT will against UGA, but I do think it is reasonable to assume that if AU can rush for 115 yards between in the hedges and they are the number 12 rushing offense in the country, GT at home who is the number 2 rushing offense in the country will be able to at least triple that number.
To all the Clemson fans who are on our blog talking trash after we already have beaten you three years in a row AND who probably will lose to UVA (follwing Clemson’s tradition of under achieving), please stop talking trash until you can back it up.

I hope you guys make it all the way to the Orange Bowl this year. I will only cheer against you when UGA comes knocking at the door in less than two weeks.
I’m out of here now as I have to blast a ton of leaves out of my gutters but have a good one!

I feel if Tech is at the top of their game that we can play with anyone, not that we are superior, but we are a tough team and put up a lot of points. Yes I believe that Clemson is better than they were the first time around but Nesbitt is light years better than when we played. He had no passing game at all in that game and was not reading the defense as he does now. Also if UGA has a miracle pass fall in their hands like last night it can turn a game around. Not being cocky or arrogant I just think we are good enough to hang with anyone.

Johnson said all year there was about 4 qtrs he wished he could have back- last two in the clemson game and all 4 in the Miami game- I loved to see the 10-15 yard pass they had in the Duke game. If Josh and company continue to go on that path I don’t think you will stop this offense- The Dogs won a grind out game last night- this is the first time that I can think where Tech finally has a bye week rather than UGA before they play- I think it will be an awesome game—-Great win- Tech shut Duke down after the 10 points- the one thing with this team you never see panic in the eyes of the players even the Miami game they never quit- and that is COACHING- It was nice to see Willie and Richt hug last night at the end of the game-….Couple days off and Lets put the game face on for those mutts…..THWG!!!

For all UGA fans obsessed with fan numbers and the ability to fill a stadium:
1.) Last time I checked, stadium attendance numbers don’t win games.
2.) UGA is 3 times as big of a school as GT. Makes more sense to have a bigger stadium…right?
3.) GT alum can’t go to every game, they have jobs.
4.) Undergrad finals are the following week of the ACC championship so it makes it a bit tough to get a huge student following. It’s such a curse having a degree that will get you more respect in the real world outside of college football. When football rankings and records are put on our degrees, we might care just a bit more.

CONGRATULATIONS to Coach Johnson and the tech football team for a great season and it’s not over yet.
It is oh….so….good…..to have another college football program in the Atlanta sports market other than UGA getting some recognition nationally. Even though Tech doesn’t get the local media coverage remember to let your haters be your motivators. I’m not a graduate of either school having graduated from another unversity out of state and moved to the ATL for a job opportunity. However, as an outsider, it is real obvious that there is a bias against Tech.
At some point in time, in the very near future, THEY (radio, TV nor print media) WILL NOT be able to ignore Tech’s successes.

Navy fan here checking in on my favorite College Football Coach Paul Johnson. I put a couple comments on this site back when Johnson first took the job and I stated to Tech fans that you all will be rewarded for supporting this guy. Its great to see Coach Johnson continue his success at Tech. He rebuilt a Navy team that continues to have success after he has left. His offense works and its exciting to watch.
I will say though I bet Coach Johnson wishes he had Navy’s Ricky Dobbs down their in Atlanta. He is a Georgia boy I believe and he leads the nation in TD’s, is a much better passer than Nesbit, and he’s only a Junior. Could be thinking National Title next year if you guys had Dobbs.
Good luck Tech fans and please continue to support Coach Johnson. Remember this is only his 2nd year with the program. Wait till year 3 and 4.

This year you have Cox (sic), Ealey and Green (who’s on the injured list) and a porous defense to match at our beloved BDS. And you Dawgs are talking smack?

Nesbitt will not make it out of the 1st quarter and Dwyer will be limping by halftime. This will be Willie’s swan song, so all the stops are out.

Tech Girl, you ARE at a smaller school. UGA is almost twice the size of Tech and has many more cultural opportunities. However, none of them involve bomb making, raping, armed robbery, or dope smoking by former players turned coaches. But we do require a grammar placement exam, which obviously shows why you are at Tech. Then again you may be fat and ugly. At UGA, we redshirt Miss Americas.
Tampabound, you said “one has a 3.9 in aeronautical engineering.” Does aeronautical engineering come with an Origami Minor? After all, if a Tech football player has a 3.9 it must be the design and maintenance of PAPER Airplanes. Take that academic crap and shove it. Nobody cares about that “we’re smarter than you” myth you punks keep spewing.

A little late here with this post, Schultzie, but your piece is spot-on again. Tech is on a roll and, after that 4th-and-1 call against Wake in OT, this team will follow CPJ into any battle, anywhere, anytime. One cautionary note: I did not like the way CPJ approached last year’s bowl game against LSU (a predictable outcome in that game given CPJ’s approach, in my humble opinion…). Looking ahead a bit, I hope that he has changed his philosophy in that regard (perhaps the only part of CPJ’s philosophy that I would change at this point). We need to stop reading our own press clippings RIGHT NOW, prepare for an absolute war against the Dawgs (the tables are turned this year… for a change, our game is bigger for UGA than the bowl game they will end up playing in… wish we could see them on the blue turf of Boise!), then maintain that same level of intensity against Clemson and whoever we play in the Orange Bowl…
“Finish the drill”, coach, and stop listening to those Notre Dame rumors! A dead-end job up there…

The REAL Truth at UGA
November 18th, 2009
3:03 pm
Attention: Redneck UGA Fan hiding behind the “nerd” handle.
Just one name: Jan Kemp. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Kemp
Jan Kemp began teaching at the University of Georgia in 1978.
In 1981 Kemp was one of the teachers who complained claiming that Georgia officials had intervened allowing nine college football players to pass the remedial English course, allowing them to play against Pittsburgh in the Sugar Bowl.
Kemp was demoted in 1982 and dismissed one year later. She then filed a lawsuit claiming she had been fired due to her complaints about the passing of players. During the time after she was dismissed Kemp tried to commit suicide twice. The University defended its actions saying that Kemp was dismissed for “disruptive conduct and for failure to conduct adequate scholarly research”.[1]
The jury found the University guilty for the illegal dismissal of Dr. Kemp and she was awarded $2.5 Million, which was later reduced to $1.08 Million. Kemp was reinstated and University President Dr. Fred C. Davison resigned.
After the trial Kemp spoke to The New York Times saying “All over the country, athletes are used to produce revenue. I’ve seen what happens when the lights dim and the crowd fades. They’re left with nothing. I want that stopped”. Kemp retired from teaching in 1990 and was named a hero of the 1980’s by People magazine.
Guess that 1980 National Title will need an *ASTERISK* by it.

Best to my knowledge, Kemp won a civil lawsuit. UGA was never found criminally guilty and forced on probation of any sort, correct? I know the President resigned over the Kemp matter, but most would for PR reasons. So I don’t think the Kemp debacle and Tech’s cheating of 6 years (97-03) are the same.

There’s a million examples as to why Tech fans are the worst in college sports, but one of the most glaring reasons is how spiteful, jealous and cruel they are. If Tech is going after a kid and they think the world of him, the day that same kid chooses UGA over them, he all of a sudden becomes a thug. But if by a miracle they happen to pick GT, then they’re “student athletes.” They reek of hypocrisy.

UGA will have more fans in Atlanta than the Jackets, as usual.

To all you Dawgs out there, seriously, I am sure that all GT fans out there share my sentiments when offering condolences for UGA’s recent death. This is a real shock.
I hope that you have a backup UGA and can bring him to Grant Field for the game. Somehow I know that will happen.
I really like to give you guys a lot of sh**t most of the time, but I am really in shock over this. (I have a nice pic of UGA dressed in White and Gold) in my office.
