http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/team/155 Recent articles about the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets en-us Georgia Tech had rebounded from a September loss at Miami to take control of the ACC Coastal Division race. Now, all that work would come down a single snap. Tech QB Josh Nesbitt celebrates after scoring the game-winning TD Saturday. With Wake Forest leading by a field goal in overtime, Yellow Jackets coach Paul Johnson eschewed a chip shot to force a second OT and gambled on fourth down. The conversion set up the winning touchdown in a 30-27 Tech victory. Here's how it happened: The le...

(NCAA rules say that the visiting team is supposed to wear white, unless it grants the home team permission to do so.) Deacons coach Jim Grobe said there were two reasons behind that decision: No. 1, Grobe said he prefers his team not wear black because of the higher temperatur...

Thing is if you have the right personnel and you can execute the option to perfection, it can be highly successful. The Yellow Jackets have proven that and they’ve gone 7-1 to start the season.

The Yellow Jackets are 12th in the first BCS standings.Georgia Tech (6-1, 4-1 ACC) posted their first victory at home over a top-five team since 1962, and the way they did it was definitely a throwback to an era when offenses such as the wishbone...

Long live the ACC! Georgia Tech 30, Clemson 27. I'm sure I'm not alone here, but as entertaining and draining as it was, any coherent narrative of this game eludes me. Georgia Tech's overall night looks pretty sensational on paper -- 30 points, 420 total yards on almost seven yards per snap -- but the reality is that the last three quarters were fairly grim: After racing out to a commanding 21-0 lead in the first frame, Tech scored nine points the rest ...

That is, until Georgia Tech strong safety Morgan Burnett hits someone. Burnett, a punishing defender, is one of the country's best defensive backs. He talked with Sporting News' Derek Samson recently about the 2009 season, a year in which the Yellow Jackets are anticipated to battle for the ACC crown. Q: How have you been addressing all the p...

Defenses were too advanced, we all believed. You couldn't forgo the passing game in this day and age, we all thought. PJ proved us wrong.Of course like Johnson's teams at Navy, the Jackets ran, ran and ran some more, averaging 273.2 yards per game, fourth nationally behind ACC Offensive Player of t...
