What To Look For In Spring Practice• A New Look On Defense -- Georgia Tech will install a 3-4 defense this

spring under new defensive coordinator Al Groh. Groh is one of threenew coaches on the defensive side of the ball. Andy McCollum, who cameto Tech from NC State, will coach the defensive line. Joe Speed, whocame to Tech from Navy, will coach inside linebackers. Charles Kelly, whocoached the cornerbacks last season, will coach the secondary.

• Finding A Back-Up Quarterback -- With senior All-ACC quarterbackJosh Nesbitt sitting out spring drills to recover from ankle injury, and nowthat sophomore Jaybo Shaw has indicated he will transfer to GeorgiaSouthern, the back-up quarterback spot is wide open. Sophomore TevinWashington, who saw brief action last season, is a candidate. Two red-shirt freshmen -- Jordan Luallen and David Sims -- will also compete forthe position. Who else will Paul Johnson look at? There’s the possibilityof Quintin Sims, a sophomore wide receiver by trade, who played QB inpractice part of last season. And there is true freshman B.J. Bostic, whoenrolled at Tech in January and is listed as an “athlete”. Bostic can playa number of positions. In the fall, true freshman Sunjyn Days comes onboard.

• Replacing The Stars -- Four Yellow Jacket juniors -- safety MorganBurnett, B-back Jonathan Dwyer, defensive end Derrick Morgan and widereceiver Demaryius Thomas -- announced in January that they were leav-ing Georgia Tech for the NFL. While all four players will be missed greatly,their absence presents opportunities for others. Senior Anthony Allen willmove from A-back to B-back to replace Dwyer. Thomas will likely be re-placed by sophomore Stephen Hill, who has potential to be a star at widereceiver.

• The Medical Report -- Seven Yellow Jackets will miss part or all ofspring practice with injuries. Senior Ben Anderson, a starter at defensivetackle most of 2009, will not practice this spring. Senior Robert Hall,who started the first three games of 2009 at defensive end, is also out.Senior quarterback Josh Nesbitt will miss spring drills to recover fromankle surgery. Junior Preston Lyons, the top back-up to Jonathan Dwyer

at B-back last fall, is out with a shoulder injury. Junior linebacker KyleJackson, who missed all of 2009 with an injury, will see limited action thisspring. Sophomore offensive tackle Phil Smith is questionable, as is Ala-bama transfer A-back Chris Jackson.

• Cooper Taylor Returns -- Safety Cooper Taylor, who missed the final11 games of the 2009 season after being diagnosed with Wolff-White-Parkinson Syndrome, is expected to return. Taylor’s return could help off-set the loss of safety Morgan Burnett, who departed for the NFL followinghis junior season. Taylor joins seniors Dominique Reese and Mario Ed-wards to give the Yellow Jackets three very experienced safeties. JuniorRashaad Reid, who can play any position in the secondary, also returns.

• Building An Offensive Line -- Georgia Tech lost two senior starterson the offensive line -- guard Cord Howard and tackle Brad Sellers. Start-ing guard Joseph Gilbert will transfer at the end of the spring semester.That leaves two returning starters -- senior All-ACC center Sean Bedfordand senior tackle Austin Barrick. Sophomore Phil Smith, a possiblestarter, is questionable for the spring with an injury. Other experienced re-turnees include junior tackle Nick Claytor and sophomore guard OmoregieUzzi. Tech, however, redshirted a number of talented freshmen last sea-son including Jay Finch, Will Jackson, Ray Beno and Antonio Foster.

• Specialists Return -- Georgia Tech returns its starting kicker, sen-ior Scott Blair, and starting punter, Chandler Anderson. Blair connectedon 70 percent of his field goal attempts last season. Anderson didn’tpunt that often, but he averaged 42.3 yards per attempt to rank third inthe ACC.

• Deep At Running Back -- The Yellow Jackets return a great deal ofdepth at both the B-back and A-back positions. Although Dwyer has de-parted for the NFL, Tech should be strong at B-back with Anthony Allenmoving over from A-back, Preston Lyons, Richard Watson, Lucas Cox,Daniel Drummond and true freshman Charles Perkins. Tech returnsstarting A-back Roddy Jones and top reserves Embry Peeples, MarcusWright and Orwin Smith. Chris Jackson is listed as questionable thisspring with an injury.

ranked in the top five nationally in rushing offense.• Tech has produced a first team All-American in each of the last two

seasons -- Michael Johnson in 2008 and Derrick Morgan in 2009.• Since Johnson’s arrival, a Tech player has been named ACC Offensive

Player of the Year (Jonathan Dwyer in 2008) and ACC Defensive Player ofthe Year (Morgan in 2009).

• In 2009, Tech won in Tallahassee (Fla.) for the first time in school his-tory, beat a top-five ranked team at home (Virginia Tech) for the first timesince 1962 and won on the road in Charlottesville (Va.) for the first timesince 1990.

• Also in 2009, Tech earned its highest national ranking (7th) since1999.

• In 2008, the Jackets broke a seven-year losing skid to rival Georgia,beating the 13th-ranked Bulldogs, 45-42, in Athens (Ga.).

The 2009 season was one of the most memorable in Yellow Jacket his-tory despite fielding one of the youngest rosters in college football (just sixscholarship seniors).

After a mid-September loss at nationally-ranked Miami when the YellowJackets played their third game in a 12-day span, Tech reeled off eightconsecutive victories including a 5-0 record in October when it played fourroad games. A convincing 49-10 win at Duke on Nov. 14 clinched the ACCCoastal Division crown, then Tech won the league title by defeating Clem-son for a second time, this time in the ACC Championship Game in Tampa,Fla.

Tech, which reached a national ranking as high as seventh, played in theFedEx Orange Bowl, its first appearance in a major or BCS bowl gamesince 1962. Along the way, the Yellow Jackets rolled up mind-bogglingnumbers on offense, ranking second nationally in rushing offense (295.4ypg) and third in time of possession (33:49).

Prior to the start of the 2008 season, Sports Illustrated projectedGeorgia Tech to finish 3-9 and the ACC media picked the Yellow Jacketsto finish fourth in the Coastal Division. However, Johnson directed Tech toa 9-4 record, a share of the Coastal Division title and a Chick-fil-A Bowlberth. Johnson’s first Yellow Jacket team beat three nationally-ranked op-ponents – Florida State, Miami and Georgia – over the final four games ofthe regular season. The win over Georgia snapped a seven-year losing skidto Tech’s in-state rival.

Johnson’s first season at Georgia Tech was remarkable for a numberof reasons. Not only did he and his staff install completely new offensiveand defensive schemes, but Johnson inherited one of the nation’s youngestrosters, which included 76 freshmen and sophomores. The last one-thirdof the season, 16 of Tech’s 22 starters were freshmen or sophomores.He also took over a program low in scholarship numbers, well below themaximum of 85, the lingering effects of distant NCAA penalties.

The 2008 team also suffered more than its share of injuries. Twelveopening-day starters combined to miss 31 games because of injuries. Ina September road game at defending ACC champion Virginia Tech, theJackets started a walk-on freshman at wide receiver. A few weeks later,Tech started its third-string quarterback as the result of injuries to starterJosh Nesbitt and back-up Jaybo Shaw.

Almost as soon as Johnson was hired, the pundits questioned if John-son’s option-based spread offense would work on the BCS level. Thosequestions came even though Navy racked up mind-numbing offensive num-bers, leading the NCAA in rushing three straight years from 2005 to2007, mostly against ACC and other BCS-level competition.

Johnson quieted those critics almost as soon as the 2008 seasonkicked off and certainly after Tech closed the regular season by combiningfor 86 points and 881 rushing yards in games against nationally-rankedMiami and Georgia. The Yellow Jackets, with freshmen and sophomoresmanning every skill position and behind a patch-work offensive line, aver-aged 273.2 rushing yards per game, ranking fourth nationally and first inthe ACC. Georgia Tech also led the ACC in total offense (372.5 ypg).

Johnson came to Georgia Tech after previously serving six seasons ashead coach of the U.S. Naval Academy, where he led the Midshipmen toa level of success they had not seen in decades. Johnson’s first headcoaching job came at Georgia Southern, where in five seasons he led theEagles to two I-AA national championships.

"Paul Johnson is the best fit, the best choice for the Georgia Tech headcoaching position," Georgia Tech athletic director Dan Radakovich saidupon Johnson’s hiring. "He will educate young men, represent GeorgiaTech at the highest level, he will win football games and play for champi-onships.

"He accomplished feats at a Service Academy that many thought werenot possible. He looks at his talent and maximizes it. Whether as an as-sistant coach at Hawai'i, or as the head coach at Georgia Southern orNavy, he has figured out how to be successful."

Johnson coached six years at Navy, where in 2007 the Midshipmen wona fifth straight Commander-In-Chief's Trophy, earned a postseason bowl bidfor the fifth consecutive year and beat Notre Dame for the first time since1963. Johnson was a finalist for the 2007 Liberty Mutual National Coachof the Year.

In six seasons at Navy, Johnson compiled a record of 45-29. Johnson took over a Navy football program that was coming off the

worst two-year span in its 123-year history (1-20) and had recorded justtwo winning seasons in the last 20 years. After a 2-10 mark in Johnson'sfirst year, the Midshipmen achieved what many thought was no longer pos-sible at an Academy. Johnson brought the Midshipmen back into the na-tional spotlight with a 43-19 (.694) record over his last four-plus years.

Johnson dominated the other two Service Academies like no other coachin the school's annals, posting an 11-1 (.917) overall record, including aperfect 6-0 mark against rival Army. His 2007 senior class was the firstin school history to post a perfect 8-0 mark against Army and Air Force.

Johnson's Navy teams improved as each season progressed. Over hislast five years, Navy posted a 13-2 (.867) record over the final three gamesof the season and outscored the opposition 611-335 in those contests. Ingames in which Johnson had more than a week to prepare for an oppo-nent, the Midshipmen went 15-6 (.714) over his last four years combined.

The Midshipmen led the nation in rushing in 2007 for an unprecedentedthird consecutive year, producing more than 350 yards per game. UnderJohnson, Navy never finished lower than third nationally in rushing offense.

Navy ranked among the nation's highest-scoring teams in 2007, aver-aging 39.92 points per outing. The 2007 Mids also ranked in the top 10nationally in kickoff returns and in fewest sacks allowed.

Johnson's teams have been successful off the field as well. Navy rankedNo. 1 in the country in graduation rates during Johnson’s tenure. In 2004,Johnson was named Bobby Dodd National Coach of the Year after leadingNavy to a 10-2 record, tying the school record for wins set in 1905, andwon a bowl game (34-19 victory vs. New Mexico in the Emerald Bowl) forjust the fifth time in the history of the program.

In 2003, Johnson led Navy to an 8-5 record and brought the Com-mander-In-Chief's Trophy back to Annapolis for the first time since 1981,propelling Navy to a bowl game for the first time since 1996. The Mids be-came just the sixth team in NCAA history to go from a winless season toa bowl game in two years or less.

Before arriving at Annapolis, Johnson served as head coach at GeorgiaSouthern from 1997 to 2001. At Georgia Southern, Johnson posted a62-10 (.861) record, won two straight I-AA National Championships (1999and 2000), five consecutive Southern Conference Championships and wasnamed the Division I-AA National Coach of the Year four straight years(1997-2000).

After Johnson took over as head coach at Georgia Southern in 1997, hereturned the Eagle program to national prominence statistically and in thewon-lost ledger. In addition to Georgia Southern's 62-10 mark, the Eaglesscored 2,855 points (39.7 points per game), picked up 25,941 rushingyards (360.3 yards per game), 7,816 passing yards (108.6 yards pergame) and 33,757 total yards (468.8 yards per game). GSU scored 380touchdowns in the Johnson Era, an average of 5.3 per game. The Eagles'scoring margin under Johnson was +21.5 (39.7-18.5).

Johnson picked up a milestone victory in the 2000 I-AA National Cham-pionship Game against Montana. Not only did the 27-25 victory give Geor-gia Southern its second straight national title, but it was also Johnson's50th career win in four seasons. Only three other coaches in the historyof Division I football won 50 or more games in four seasons -- Walter Camp(1888-1891, 54-2 at Yale), George Woodruff (1892-1895, 53-4 at Penn)and Bob Pruett (1996-99, 50-4 at Marshall).

He was named South-ern Conference Coach of the Year by the media and Region II Coach of theYear by the American Football Coaches Association.

In 1998, Johnson guided the Eagles to a perfect 11-0 regular seasonrecord and the school's sixth NCAA Division I-AA National ChampionshipGame appearance before finishing with a 14-1 mark. He directed a high-powered offensive unit that tied or broke 100 records during the campaign,again earned the league's top coaching honor and received The Sports Net-work's Eddie Robinson Award -- symbolic of the division's national coach-of-the-year selection.

In 1999, Johnson brought Georgia Southern its fifth national title, andthe Eagles finished 13-2 while breaking 197 records. For his efforts, John-son was honored as the 1999 AFCA and Chevrolet I-AA National Coach ofthe Year. Johnson duplicated the feat in the 2000 season as the Eaglesrepeated as national champions, again finishing 13-2, and Johnson cap-tured the AFCA I-AA Coach of the Year award once more.

In five seasons at Georgia Southern, Johnson's squads broke or tied 379

individual and team school, conference, playoff orstadium records, ranked in the top 10 in 21 sta-tistical categories and produced 31 All-Americans.The Eagles won an NCAA I-AA-record 39 consec-utive games at home. Meanwhile, their 52 winsover those four seasons were the most in all of Di-vision I.

Johnson was previously Navy's offensive coordi-nator in 1995 and 1996, and his spread offensemade an immediate impact, breaking five schoolrecords during the Mids' five-win season in 1995.

Navy posted a 9-3 record the next season in1996, including a 42-38 victory over California inthe Aloha Bowl. It was Navy's first winning seasonsince 1982 and one of only two winning seasonsthe Mids had during a 19-year span.

Georgia Tech (2-0, 1-0 ACC) pulled itself back from the brink of a potentiallydevastating loss that looked like an easy victory early on. The Yellow Jacketsraced to a 24-0 lead 4 1/2 minutes into the second quarter.

But Clemson (1-1, 0-1) scored 27 straight points, taking its first lead of thenight on Richard Jackson's 53-yard field goal with 11:33 to go.

Georgia Tech, which did nothing offensively through most of the second andthird quarters, finally regrouped for a 69-yard drive that set up Blair's tying kick,a 34-yarder with 5:40 left. Then, after a holding penalty on Clemson's ThomasAustin wiped out Kyle Parker's 38-yard completion to Jacoby Ford, the YellowJackets got a chance to win it.

2009 Game Summaries

Josh Nesbitt rushed for 122 yards and three touchdowns -- the last of themtiptoeing down the sideline to finish off the fourth-ranked Hokies with 3 minutesleft -- as No. 19 Georgia Tech ran to a 28-23 win that threw the Atlantic CoastConference race up for grabs while perhaps finishing off the league's top con-tender in the national race.

Georgia Tech completed just one pass but ran for 309 yards out of its spreadoption offense -- all but 37 of those yards coming in the second half.

Nesbitt made up for a fumble that gave Virginia Tech life by finishing off theclinching drive with his best run of the night.

On third-and-7 from the Hokies 39, the quarterback ran to his left, saw twodefenders peel away to shadow potential pitch targets, turned up through ahuge hole and managed to stay in bounds along the sideline, even when DorianPorch gave him one last shove around the 5.

Nesbitt has run for six touchdowns over the last two weeks, also scoringthree times in a 49-44 victory over Florida State. It was the fifth time this sea-son the quarterback rushed for more than 90 yards.

An 18-play, 82-yard, 10-minute and 47-seconds drive to open the third quar-ter helped No. 11/13 Georgia Tech beat Virginia, 34-9, and take over sole pos-session of first place in the ACC’s Coastal Division.

The drive was Tech’s longest, in terms of time elapsed, in at least 21 years.The Yellow Jackets ran through a downpour Saturday, piling up 362 yards

rushing and holding the ball more than 42 minutesWith an option attack already ranked second in the nation in rushing yards

entering the game, Georgia Tech put on a ball control clinic on each of its fourtouchdown drives: a 10-play, 60-yard march in the second quarter; the 10:47marathon in the third; an 11-play, 66-yard put-the-game away possession in thefourth; and a didn't-really-matter 10-play, 71-yard finisher near the very end.Quarterback Josh Nesbitt threw only two passes on those four drives.

Georgia Tech broke an eight-game Charlottesville losing streak, winning at Vir-ginia for the first time since 1990, the year the Yellow Jackets claimed a shareof the national title.

No. 10 Georgia Tech pulled off a gutsy play on fourth down after failing fourtimes during regulation, and Josh Nesbitt ended it with a 3-yard touchdown runthat pushed the Yellow Jackets to the cusp of the ACC championship game witha 30-27 victory over Wake Forest.

Jonathan Dwyer rushed for a career-best 189 yards and went over 1,000yards for the season, but it was Nesbitt and the guys on the defensive side whobailed out the Yellow Jackets at the end.

After stifling Wake Forest on the first possession of OT, forcing a field goal,Georgia Tech drove to the 5 where it faced fourth-and-less-than-a-yard.

Instead of sending on Scott Blair for a chip-shot field goal to extend the game,Johnson decided to go for the win right there. Nesbitt lowered his head andpowered up the middle for a 2-yard gain. He scored on the very next play, bounc-ing off right tackle to go in standing before he flipped the ball high in the air andraised both arms in triumph. The entire team poured onto the field to celebrate.

No. 10 Iowa solved Tech's explosive triple option and Ricky Stanzi threw twoearly touchdown passes for a 24-14 victory in the coldest Orange Bowl ever.

Temperature at kickoff was 49 degrees, and Tech's offense was slow towarm up. The ninth-ranked Yellow Jackets averaged 35 points during the regularseason, but their only score in the first three quarters came on Jerrard Tar-rant's 40-yard interception return.

The Hawkeyes (11-2) earned their first Bowl Championship Series bowl win,matched the school record for victories and could claim their highest final rank-ing since finishing No. 3 in 1960. Georgia Tech (11-3) totaled nine first downsand a season-low 155 yards.

The Yellow Jackets were first in the nation in time of possession, second inrushing and 11th in scoring at 35 points per game. But they sputtered againstan Iowa defense that held four bowl-bound teams to 10 points or less during theregular season.

End Adrian Clayborn led Iowa's defensive charge. He had two sacks and ninetackles, including two for a loss, and was chosen the game's most valuableplayer.
