Good read, Mark. That was one tense moment at the end, but I knew CPJ was determined to end it right then and there. That one set of plays will go really far in estbalishing the confidence to keep winning the rest of the way. In a way, I am glad it wasn’t easy. It will bring everybody back to that reality that it is one game, one set of downs, one play at a time to get to the top. Go Jackets!

I don’t think CPJ was thinking about his defense or special teams. He wanted to end it. He knew they could and kney they would make it and get a TD. You don’t make that kind of a call on doubts, you make it on confidence.

I know the point spread was big, but style points should be irrelevant. Wake is a decent team with a very good QB and coach. They took Miami to the wire too. They’ve had a bunch of hard luck losses. Plus, our closest one loss competitors – Penn St. and Oregon – both lost.

I was in The United Arab Emerites for Desert Storm 1 when Tech played as passionate a game as this one today. JD, JN, and the O line put the team on their backs and refused to lose! I have officiated high school and college football for the past 10 years. That was one of the most one sided officiated games I have ever witnessed. 3 chop blocks, one of which was legit. The umpire in this game broke a cardinal rule of officiating. If you do not see the entire block, don’t make a call. The last chop call was bogus due to the fact that Bedford initiated the contact above the waist, Howard came in on the double team, Bedford slid down the defender and then the umpire threw the flag. If you start above the waist and slide low, IT’S NOT A FOUL!!. The ACC should look at this carefully. Ever since Beamer started crying, Tech has been over-scrutanized. Now it seems every double team block is a chop.
Great job to our Defense. One quarter we were shakey, but stepped it up when we had to. Kudos to Butler, Griffen, and the new starter at corner, Edwards. Great adjustments this week in practice.
1-0 this week. Get ready for a good Duke team. I think they were looking past UNC today, thinking about the possibilities for next week. Now they have nothing to lose. Get ready Boys.

There was no question to go for it on 4th and 1. Too much respect for our offense and too much respect for Skinner. The penalties allowed Wake to come back, our D kept us in the game.

I think it should be said that Wake is actually a pretty good team. They should have beaten Miami and would have if not for a fumble and an injured quarterback. I have a lot of respect for Wake and hope they get 6 wins and go to a bowl because I think they belong in a bowl.

We played against a top QB today. He didn’t burn us up. We played much better against the run. Blair kicked off deeper than ever. Our kick off coverage is poor due to Blair’s short kicks and lack of hang time.

I’ve read lots of comments about changes that need to be made in the defense during the off-season, and to some degree, I know it’s true. However, I’m less than convinced that the change is in the coaching staff. Rather, I think it’s simply in the ongoing maturity of a young defensive club … and in the ongoing recruiting of better and better players. We’ve made great progress this season, and there is more to come. Let’s focus on continuing improvement with the people that are already here, and talk less about what needs to happen before next year.

Wake lost the game because Jim Grobe, when it mattered most late in the 4th quarter, didn’t have the guts to play to win. You never play for OT when you are a bad football team and a huge underdog with a chance to win on the road. The result in OT was a mere formality. Like him or not, Paul Johnson played to win when the opportunity was there.

TechMD…One of the reasons Grobe lost in OT is because there was an OT in the first place…With 4th & 12 at the Tech 40 yd line and 1:07 left on the clock, his opportunity to go for the WIN was right then and there! Either give Skinner a chance to pop a receiver on the sidelines for a 1st or go for the 57 yard attempt. He was SPOOKED by the 60 yd miss at the end last week.

It’s not a high percentage play either way and the punt pinned Tech at the 3…But it was also the conservative call. Johnson having the 4th and 1 and NOT kicking the FG to go into another OT period was anything BUT conservative. He rolled the dice and Tech WON…Grobe didn’t roll the dice and LOST. Gailey, at the ACC CG in 2006, was heard to say, “Dice…What the hell are dice? We’re late for our bus ride back to ATL…So PUNT!”

Heck of a game Jackets…. next time win by 56 so my blood pressure pills don’t take a hit (They’re expensive).

I could care less about national rankings! We have one game that matters…. DUKE!

Why in the hell did we pass so much and ineffective in the 2nd QTR? Did CPJ briefly lose his mind?

Wommack, I’m warning you now, if you don’t bump those WR off their routes you will get beat. The underneath passes are eating you up. That Tampa Two coverage will provide mismatches. Cedric should not have been covering a slot receiver. Put your safety over the top watching the QB (Talk with Iowa’s DC). We are getting enough pressure that a QB’s timing would be thrown off if his receiver was 10 yds off course. I hope we switch to a 3-3-5 or a 3-4-4 one day.

Finally, who on here hates Mark May? Let’s petition to have him removed from ESPN!

Great WIN Jackets! I’m especially proud of the TECH Defense. They are young and inexperienced but are really stepping up. The Defensive coaching staff is doing very well at making adjustments and helping to win games. I’m confused by all the negativty from you YAHOO’S complaining about the defense. GT is 9-1!! Can you just BACK OFF and give them a little support instead of all the nasty remarks!!!!! This is BY FAR the best season that TECH has had in a LONG TIME!! Try to enjoy it!!

Mr. Bradley,,

There are times when your articles fall short of expectations. There have been times when I have called you out on typos and grammatical errors. Tonight you wrote this:

“Wake being Wake, it would never simply slink away into the gathering dusk, but Tech matched the Deacs in heart and trumped them in skill and gall.”

Sir, that is journalism. That use of the English language is why you are paid the bucks you are paid. Kudos, sir, kudos. Arrogant as it is for my to say (not having a literature degree and all), job well done! Thank you. Oh, and THWG!

I don’t see why its so gutsy to go for fourth and short. Teams convert that virtually every time. However, the manner with which coach did it was epic. It was beautiful.

On another note, the roughing the passer/kicker penalties have gotten way out of hand. How are you supposed to give a good effort to block a pass or a kick when a flag gets thrown if you even breathe on the guy?

if we keep winning, we will jump Boise; TCU is much less likely considering the teams they play (BYU, Utah, Clemson etc.). Granted we have to win out, and Duke is our biggest concern right now, but in terms of the NC Texas, Cincy, and most likely TCU have to lose for us to play in it. However TCU plays Utah on Sat, Cincy plays WVU Friday and Pitt in Dec, and Texas has Texas A&M and either KState or Nebraska in the Big 12 Championship…the season is by no means over

Being there and watching the flags fly from across the field – completely out of position to call a play was absolutely astonishing. I have never seen so many phantom calls in any game since the LSU-Georgia game – absolutely incredible.

Bobbling he ball right infront of CPJ and possession play the WF player was clearly not in control but given the catch.

The long touchdown run called back because of a real phantom call, preposterous officiating. I know CPJ is going to send these plays to the ACC for review – has to for the Jackets sake. These officials were as bad as that SEC team that got canned.

Clearly CPJ has the biggest COJONES in College Football – Mellon size as my kid told me….

Old ‘Jacket, you are wise to be asking about Johnson’s contract. Since Bobby Dodd, any coach that was successful at Tech has left for more prominent programs. I don’t believe that he would sign anything that would limit his options, or penalize him for leaving. I also doubt he would want to leave anytime in the next five years. He has a lot to prove and Tech’s program is best suited for him to prove it.

If he does make it to a BCS bowl game – - and in the future the NC game – - there will be a lot of media hype about his system, etc. There will also be not-so-subtle hints that his style of football can be successful with the “smart” kids. Tech’s football team has the highest SAT scores of any public university. You don’t out-athlete your opponent, you simply out smart and out execute them.

Congratulatins on another victory. Don’t overlook Duke. They can beat you, just like Wake Forest almost did.

I thought the holding call on Thomas and the roughing call on the kicker were legit calls. Bay Bay was pulling the jersey of the defender to keep him from turning as the runner went behind him. On the roughing call, two Tech defenders were in the backfield and the downfield defender bumped into the upfield defender; pushing him into the kicker. It was accidental and due to effort – not a “stupid penalty”, but it cost us 4 points. Had we lost, it was not a game that we could blame on the refs. As it is, we won and the drama at the end was priceless. Wake Forest played well and our offense did not have their best game. Our defense played great against the run and as we have come to expect against the pass. I hope we play better at Duke, but I really enjoy watching GT this year. The FSU shootout, the win over VT and the end of this game will be remembered for years. I hope the rest of the year is as memorable. Go Jackets!

Staying out of the fray, I feel the schedule the rest of the year is going to be tough for Tech to win out. Next week, an away game with improving Duke, followed by a holy war with Georgia, and then another game with Clemson (probably the second best team in the league with their body of work). They may be the best team in the ACC at this time. I don’t see how Tech can keep it up with this many back to back games against tough competition. It has been a good run, and nobody who’s being honest will say that it was expected. I thought 8-9 wins with a shot at beating Georgia was the best the fans could hope for. The idea that PJohnson (and Womack) could push this team to a possible 11-13 win season was too soon without the lines (offense & defense) to support it.

Old ‘Jacket -

CPJ salary is $2.3M with a 7 seven extension after last year. That doesn’t include incentives which I would assume include BCS and others. He is 2nd only behind Bowden at $2.5M. BTW he would only be ahead of 5 SEC coaches. Mark Richt is $2.8M. He would be 4th highest in Big Tenjust slightly behind RR at $2.5M.

Big Ten Sleeper – nice try but CPJ will be rewarded again at GT for his efforts. Quote from CPJ “I look forward to continue being a part of the Georgia Tech family for years to come”. Not to mention he loves the state of GA and is having great efforts on recruiting.

Some quick Wake Forest post-game notes

Orange, Champs, and Chick-fil-A Bowl officials were present

On Jonathan Dwyer’s TD run, it was his 3rd straight, 5th overall 100 yard game of the year and put him over 1000 yards for the season. He has the 6th most consecutive 100 yard games in GT history. Dwyer’s 195 yards bests last week’s career high (186 yds) set vs Vanderbilt.

Preston Lyons had his 1st TD of his career and his longest carry. It went for 31 yards.

Scott Blair hit the longest FG of his career with his 45 yarder.

Phil Smith and Mario Edwards both made their first career starts.

Steven Sylvester got his 1st career sack.

Derrick Morgan had a career best 3 sacks. That gives him 11.5 this season. That’s 5th best single season in GT history.

GA Tech made 5 changes on special teams. Morgan Burnett, Roddy Jones, Mario Edwards, Quentim Sims, and Julian Burnett all returned.

Josh Nesbitt added 2 TD’s to give him 22 TD’s. That’s 6th best in GT history and the most by a QB. He has 15 TD’s for the season. That’s the second most in a season in history.

Paul Johnson’s win makes him 18-5 for a .783 winning percentage. That’s now highest in GT history edging out John Heisman.

The team rushed for 412 yards. That’s the 3rd time this year going over 400 yards.

The 9-1 start is the best since the won the National Championship in 1990.

GA Tech’s 6 ACC wins is 3rd best since they’ve been in the ACC.

GA Tech has clinched a tie for the Coastal Division.

The Yellow Jacket’s 7 game winning streak is their longest since 2000.

Any one else notice the mighty SEC for the most part everyone played the sisters of the poor yesterday. Only three in conference games.

The officiating in the game last night left a lot to be asked for. There was a completed pass where the Wake defender was on the back of the tech recevier. No flag even though the pass was completed. This was not the usual crew that works a Georgia Tach Game.

It is very hard for a center to get two chop block penalties usually the guard has already engaged the defender.

Are we misisng Taylor Cooper more than we wnat to admit? Seems very little pass rush against a team that could only pass, and was there ever a blitz?

I had one last point I’d like to make about the Jackets before I go. I just wanted to remind everyone that the team has been going non-stop since August – no breaks like most teams that have been playing.

The boys are coming off of a 5 game stretch in October where they had 5 wins in 5 different states, and they’re a bit tired and nicked up. The fact that they pulled this game out; especially against a team that should have beat Miami last week (they would have beat Miami had Skinner not gotten knocked out with a concussion), well, I think that speaks volumes about the inner strength of this year’s team.

If they can get by Duke next week, they’ll FINALLY have a week off before they have to play Georgia. The guys really need to get some rest and start getting healed.

One more comment – Everyone slamming GA Tech’s defense from our Game against Wake Forest. No one seems to remember that the week before, they cranked out 555 yards of offense against Miami, but just a tad over 300 against the Jackets, with a lot aided by second chance opportunities through penalties.

All things considered, the boys on the defensive side of the ball stepped it up a notch. They only gave up 7 points in the second half, not counting the 3 points in overtime; but Wake started out in field goal range, so not giving up a touchdown was another win for the defense in that situation.

As far as TECH-UGA its the biggest game of the year for UGA. After laying eggs on all of their other key games, its the only redemption game they have. Bobo will have several sexy new plays and a bunch of other junk.
For most of us Tech fans, I think, beating UGA is far bigger than winning some Tampa champ game or winning a bowl. Beating UGA last year was far bigger than the Peach bowl. PJ understands this and will be ready. His predecessor just looked at it as another game.
To be clear, Duke is the biggest game of the year because this team deserves to be division champs. After that UGA is the biggest game left. I don’t care if Tech gets a bowl game against, say Texas, UGA is bigger. We have reached the top 10 of the BCS. Beating UGA is the next key achievement unless we have a chance to be #1 which will not happen

Not go down the tubes and play like an inept mediocre team. With what CMR has on the roster he should also be 9-1 not 5-4. UGA plays like the most underprepared team I’ve ever seen. Penalities galore, which CMR just shrugs off. Undisciplined and lack of effort. Just like the late hit on Tebow last week.

Falcon TD on the first drive. I think the SKINS have a SEC(auburn) QB Tech beat a couple of times too.

There must be something terribly wrong at the AP. The latest poll just came out, and there are now FOUR ACC teams ranked in the top 25, versus only THREE SEC teams. Don’t the sportswriters understand that we’re the better conference … we just keep beating up on each other!

It is embarrassing all the publicity Tech is getting.
Surely all the talking heads know other teams are in the top 10.

It looks like the redskins have a crushe can of Campbell soup and broke Caddy too. Let Tubberville coach and have his players. Washington might win a game.

All we need is a loss by texas and cincy and perhaps TCU and we are in the Nat Champ game if we win out. How amazing is that?

How about someone writing an article detailing gt’s chances of getting to the title game. From what I can tell, we need texas to lose, cincy to lose and maybe tcu. What is interesting is tcu. They did beat clemson and va. But so did we. And our schedule is tougher than there’s. SO if we beat clemson again in the acc champ game, what does that say about us and tcu? The old adage of don’t lose late will come into play this season. You reward teams for winning. And if texas loses, there is no way they can put them in the title game. Especially since their loss, if it happens will be to a unranked team. I don’t see cincy beating both pitt and wv either. Texas could lose at the end to a&m. If they do, I don’t see how they can put them back in the title game even if they win the big 12 cause a&m is a crap 5-4 team. Or if they were to lose the big 12 game, they are done cause you aren’t putting a team that loses it’s conf in the title game. So any loss by texas would knock them out. Boise has no shot unless a lot of teams lose. Need utah to beat tcu just in case.

NOT JUST A RUMOR; Why would any coach go to ND ? The last two tries
were abysmal.

Knowing PJ and the coaching staff, there was no way that he was not going for it! There is a hugh difference between telling them to run that final play, and making them come to you, ask to run it, and then guarantee that they would make it! He did just that in getting Josh to commit to making it!! That is coaching!! By making JN to guarantee it, the whole offense then was not going to let him fail! That is why this guy is a great coach! We not only had to beat a game and well coached WF team, we had to overcome a bias officiating crew…seems they were out to make a point about chop blocks (2 of the 3 calls were wrong..watch the film). Also, the crew was spotting our forward progress on many plays a half yard short each time…makes for a larger number of 4th down tries during a game!! And NO, JD is NOT going to get us killed, he is the “horse pulling the cart”.

Wow I love how Dawg fans keep “hearing rumors” about ND.

I think their dream is that ND hires Meyer as HC, Saban as DC and Johnson as OC. UF hires Bobo as a replacement and ALA hires Willie.

What does it say about the mindset of some fans when they want their rivals to lose their coaches so that UGA’s record can improve?

I want PJ to stay forever and think we should do anything necessary to keep him but if he moves on DRAD simply gets R Rodriguez from Michigan. And there are plenty of other good ones to be had. Rodriguez would love, I’m sure, to get out of Mich and Tech’s “high school” offense is very similar to his style.

Johnson is not a loyal guy. Once he gets mugged by the pack of girls that keeps taking advantage of you guys he will run.

If our coach was planning to leave,I don’t think he would be recruiting the way he has been. I don’t think he would be telling a recruit to come to come and play for him and then turn his back on them,like 2 of our past coaches did. PJ has more class than that..GO JACKETS TOHWG!!!

GA Tech Insider – as the father of a teenager myself, I know where Johnson is coming from. However, isn’t his daughter 17 or so – meaning she’ll be graduating fronm HS in a few years?

Hopefully she wants to do Aerospace Engineering and hang around for a while.
Heck – I’d like to see Johnson stick around for years, but if he decides to move on in a few years, good luck to him.

CPJ is pissed at the way UGA dissed Erk, so he wants to hang around and whip their butts a few years.

PJ will be here at least 6 years. Count on it. So sad there are pathetic Ga fans writing crap like this. Shows what kind of white trash comes from that fanbase.

CPJ can really coach, we are all seeing that first hand. But what he does even better, he stays out of the players way when it is time to win. Uncanny how he can utilize all at his disposal to make his players have the maximum fun and still run thru a wall for him. I believe the recruits are liking what they are seeing out of this man. He is tough, he is fair and he lets them play!

When PJ leaves he will go to the NFL just to show how a high school offense can kick big boy butt. He’s got the moxie to do it for just that reason. He will not fool around with another Div 1 school. Thats too easy. Meanwhile, I hear that Adams is asking CMR to sign a 15 year extension.

Larry Munson said last week: Boy, did I get out at the right time. I just can’t come up with another famous phrase for when Dwyer gets to the 250 yard mark.

Can we quit calling Paul Johnson CPJ? I mean we have already (unfortunately enough) ripped off UGA’s chant on kickoff’s (is there anything dumber than people bzzzing out loud?) Do we really need to rip off CMR as well? Just stick with PJ

[...] The last chop call was bogus due to the fact that Bedford initiated the contact above the waist, Howard came in on the double team, Bedford slid down the defender and then the umpire threw the flag. If you start above the waist and … No Snapple regular lemonade! What gives? Another fine read. I told you earlier that I was nervous about this game. Great win. Maybe better Florida State win.
