Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets: 2011 Exit Survey
Georgia Tech took advantage of their early schedule and jumped out to a 6-0 record and were ranked as high as #12 in the country. The season turned in Charlottesville when the upstart Cavs pulled off the upset of the Jackets. Georgia Tech went just 2-5 (including the bowl loss to Utah) to close the season and left a bitter taste in Paul Johnson's mouth and lots of questions to...

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets vs Utah Utes – Sun Bowl
Georgia Tech (8-4) vs Utah (7-5)
I find Georgia Tech quite hard to assess. I say this because even though they started out 6-0, they finished the season a measly 2-4 with terrible games against Miami, VT, and UGA.
Paul Johnson is in his fourth season with the Yellow Jackets, and like Northwestern and Fitzi, Johnson has been to 3 bowls and is winless in all of them. Johnson needs...
