THE LAST MEETING: NOVEMBER 10, 1979GEORGIA TECH 21, AIR FORCE 0

Georgia Tech went just 4-6-1 in 1979, but the Yel-low Jackets closed the season by winning three oftheir last four games including a 21-0 win over visitingAir Force on Nov. 10.

Tech’s win over the Falcons -- the Yellow Jackets’homecoming -- was its second of three straight wins.The following week the Jackets beat Navy in the next-to-last game of head coach Pepper Rodgers’ tenure.

Ronny Cone, the father of current Yellow Jacketsenior Kevin Cone, gave Tech a 7-0 lead with a 20-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Later in thequarter, Michael Kelly hit Matt Rank with a 19-yard TDpass for an early 14-0 lead.

low Jackets. He also had two receptions for 19 yards.The Jacket defense, led by senior Mackel Harris’

10 tackles, held the Falcons to 70 yards rushing and241 yards of total offense.

TECH’S LAST BOWL GAME: JANUARY 5, 2010NO. 10 IOWA 24, NO. 9 GEORGIA TECH 14

No. 10 Iowa solved Tech's explosive triple optionand Ricky Stanzi threw two early touchdown passesfor a 24-14 victory Jan. 5, 2010, in the coldest OrangeBowl ever.

Temperature at kickoff was 49 degrees, and Tech'soffense was slow to warm up. The ninth-ranked Yel-low Jackets averaged 35 points during the regularseason, but their only score in the first three quarterscame on Jerrard Tarrant's 40-yard interception return.

The Hawkeyes (11-2) earned their first Bowl Cham-pionship Series bowl win, matched the school recordfor victories and could claim their highest final rankingsince finishing No. 3 in 1960.

Georgia Tech (11-3) totaled nine first downs and aseason-low 155 yards.

The Yellow Jackets were first in the nation in timeof possession, second in rushing and 11th in scoringat 35 points per game. But they sputtered against anIowa defense that held four bowl-bound teams to 10points or less during the regular season.

TECH’S LAST GAME: NOVEMBER 27, 2010GEORGIA 42, GEORGIA TECH 34

Aaron Murray threw for three touchdowns, JustinHouston returned a fumble 18 yards for a score andGeorgia Tech missed a tying extra point, giving Geor-gia the win it needed to be eligible for a bowl, a 42-34victory over the Yellow Jackets on Nov. 27.

The Yellow Jackets were poised to tie the game at35 after Anthony Allen bulled into the end zone for an8-yard run with 4:57 remaining. But Scott Blair yankedthe extra point wide left, ending a streak of 77 straightPATs and leaving the Bulldogs with a one-point lead.

Georgia tacked on a touchdown run by Washaun

Ealey that wasn't contested by the Georgia Tech de-fense, which just stood around so the Yellow Jacketscould get one more shot on offense.

Tevin Washington, starting his third straight gamein place of injured Joshua Nesbitt, guided GeorgiaTech across midfield in the final minute. But Houstonfinished off a huge game with one last big play, drop-ping back into pass coverage and intercepting a passover the middle with 35 seconds left.

Anthony Allen rushed for 166 yards to lead GeorgiaTech, which ran a staggering 92 plays for 512 yardsand controlled the ball for nearly 38 minutes. But toomany mistakes doomed the Yellow Jackets, who alsolost three fumbles -- each of which were followed byGeorgia touchdowns.

AIR FORCE WAS THE OPPONENT IN 1978 WHENEDDIE LEE IVERY BROKE NCAA RUSHING MARK

On Nov. 11, 1978, Georgia Tech’s Eddie Lee Iveryrushed for a then-NCAA record 356 yards against AirForce on a cold, snowy day in Colorado Springs.

Ivery’s record stood for six seasons until Washing-ton State’s Rueben Mayes rushed for one more yardthan Ivery, against Oregon, in 1984.

Ivery’s record-setting performance came on 26rushing attempts. He did it on a day when the tem-peratures were in the 20s, augmented by a 20 mphwind (making the chill factor zero degrees) whichturned the Falcon Stadium turf into a frozen tundra.

Complicating Ivery’s plight, he suffered from astomach virus. He had 122 yards on 12 carries athalftime, but his status for the second half was indoubt.

An 80-yard touchdown run in the third quarter gavehim 240 yards and broke the Georgia Tech single-game record.

When Ivery came out of the game, he was replacedby Ray Friday, who promptly took a handoff and ran66 yards up the middle for a touchdown.

Georgia Tech won the game, 42-21.

NATION’S TOP TWO RUSHING TEAMS TAKE CENTER STAGE IN SHREVEPORT� Georgia Tech leads the nation in rushing offense(327.0 yards per game) and Air Force ranks second(317.9 ypg). Only five FBS teams average more than300 yards rushing per game.

� The Yellow Jackets (414.5 ypg) and Falcons (437.4ypg) combine to average more than 851 yards of totaloffense per game.

Joshua NesbittWHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT JOSHUANESBITT“He’s not the most stylish quarterback in the land,and he doesn’t throw the prettiest passes. But if it’sfourth-and-2 and his team is going for it — andGeorgia Tech’s coach tends to go for it — JoshuaNesbitt is the one you’d trust most with the ball.He’ll get the two yards. He’ll get them if he has tosteal the ball back from an opponent. He’ll get themno matter how many opponents grab onto him.”

-- Mark Bradley, AJC Columnist

“Nesbitt is the straw who stirs the cocktail that isPaul Johnson’s high-octane offense.”

-- Tony Barnhart, Mr. College Football

“At 6-foot-1, 218 pounds, he’s built like a F-150. Hetakes hit after hit and keeps on rumbling in coachPaul Johnson’s run-based spread option offense.”

--Heather Dinich, ESPN.com

“He's the guy who makes it all go. And he's proba-bly one of the most valuable players in all of collegefootball, especially on a team that lost its leadingrusher and top receiver to the NFL.”

-- SportsIllustrated.com

“He has a linebacker’s approach to playing quarter-back. If you come hard at him, he’ll come harder atyou.”

-- Mark Bradley, AJC Columnist

BLAIR WINDING DOWN GREAT KICKING CAREERSenior Scott Blair has done just about everything akicker can do during his four-year career: he’s one ofthe most prolific field goal kickers and scorers in Techhistory; he threw a touchdown pass last seasonagainst Clemson; he’s made tackles on kickoffs; andhe is handling punting duties for the first time since2008.

� Blair made his first nine field goal attempts of theseason and is 15-of-17 on the year. His field goal per-centage of .882 is the highest in Georgia Tech history.

� Blair has made 41-of-56 career field goal attempts,which gives him the highest career field goal percent-age (.732) in Tech history.

� In the win over Duke, Blair kicked three field goals,each of them longer than 40 yards.

� He kicked three field goals, including two in thefourth quarter, in Tech’s 30-24 win at North Carolina(Sept. 18).

� Blair kicked field goals of 47, 45 and 42 yards inthe 24-20 win at Wake Forest (Oct. 2).

� He has converted 115 career PATs.� He was named ACC Specialist of the Week twicethis season. Blair was named Lou Groza Award co-Starof the Week twice this season as well.

� He has scored 238 career points, which ranks fifthin Georgia Tech history, fourth among kickers.

NEVER OUT OF ITThree times this season Georgia Tech has overcomea deficit of at least seven points to win -- at North Car-olina, at Wake Forest and vs. Duke. The Yellow Jack-ets have trailed at some point in nine of their 12games this season.

A PLUG FOR SPECIAL TEAMSWhile head coach Paul Johnson has not been happywith special teams play this season -- Tech ranks112th nationally in net punting, 79th in punt returnsand 87th in kick returns -- there have been some pos-itives on special teams:

� The Yellow Jackets rank 11th nationally in kickoffreturn yardage defense (19.0 ypa). That ranking wouldbe even higher if not for a kick return for a touchdownby Virginia Tech.

� Scott Blair, the senior kicker, has done his part (atleast in terms of field goals and extra points). He hasmade 8-of-10 field goals of 40 yards or longer.

ROAD WARRIORSGeorgia Tech did something this fall that very few

BCS teams do -- play two non-conference road gamesvs. BCS opponents. The Yellow Jackets’ non-confer-ence slate included road trips to Kansas and Georgia.

Out of all BCS teams, only 12 played two non-con-ference road games in 2010. Out of those 12, onlyGeorgia Tech (Kansas, Georgia), South Florida(Florida, Miami) and UCLA (Kansas State, Texas)played two non-conference road games against BCSopponents.

TRANSFERS MAKING AN IMPACTAnthony Allen (Louisville), Anthony Egbuniwe (Tulsa),Mario Edwards (Virginia Tech), Lucas Cox (Connecti-cut) and Kevin Cone (Shorter) -- all transfers -- are ei-ther starting or are second on the depth chart.

TECH IN OVERTIMEGeorgia Tech is 4-3 all-time in overtime games. TheYellow Jackets’ last OT game was a 30-27 win overWake Forest on Nov. 7, 2009.

IT’S JUST: GEORGIA TECHIt is incorrect to call it “Georgia Tech University.” Offi-cially, it’s The Georgia Institute of Technology. But justcall us “Georgia Tech.”

ON THIS DATE IN TECH HISTORYGeorgia Tech has played just once previously on De-cember 27th -- a 24-14 victory over Stanford in the2001 Seattle Bowl. The unranked Yellow Jacketsupset the 11th-ranked Cardinal under interim coachMac McWhorter, who took over for George O’Leary.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS� Air Force and Georgia Tech are two of five FBSschools that do not have “university” in their titles.� Seven of Georgia Tech’s 12 regular season oppo-nents are playing in bowl games. The Yellow Jackets’only loss to a non-bowl team this season came atKansas Sept. 11.� For the Nov. 4 game at Virginia Tech, Georgia Techwore Mississippi State decals on their helmets tohonor Nick Bell, the Bulldog player who tragically losthis battle with cancer. � Tech has completed just 59 passes this season butaverages a lofty 17.8 yards per completion. � Paul Johnson, in each of his first two seasons atTech, was named ACC Coach of the Year. He is the firstcoach in the history of the conference to win the honorin each of his first two seasons.� Thirty-eight different Jackets have made at leastone career start. � Under Paul Johnson, Tech has defeated every ACCteam at least once -- except for Maryland, which hasnot been on the Jackets’ schedule since pre-Johnson,and NC State.� The Jackets have more seniors this season (16 onscholarship) compared to last season (6), but the ros-ter remains relatively young. There are 81 freshmenand sophomores on the 2010 roster.

� Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson is 26-13 inhis third season with the Yellow Jackets -- that’s morewins than any coach in Yellow Jacket history won intheir first three seasons.

TECH AT HISTORIC BOBBY DODD STADIUMNo team in college football has won more games inits current home stadium than Georgia Tech. The Yel-low Jackets are 437-182-21 all-time in Bobby DoddStadium.

WHITE JERSEYS AT HOME (USUALLY)Under Paul Johnson, Georgia Tech has traditionally

worn white jerseys at home. However, to wear whiteat home, it requires the cooperation of the visitingteam, which has the right to wear light jerseys if itchooses.

Twice this season -- vs. NC State and Miami -- theopponent chose to wear white. Tech wore gold jerseysagainst the Wolfpack and blue against the Hurricanes.

Tech donned blue jerseys for the Miami game tohonor the 1990 national championship team, whichwas honored at halftime. The ‘90 national title teamwore blue jerseys at home.

While the players like the blue jerseys, Tech hasn’thad much success in them. Tech lost to Miami by 25points in blue. Previously, the Jackets lost 38-3 to LSUin the 2008 Chick-fil-A Bowl and 9-6 to Wake Forest inthe ‘06 ACC championship game.

CENTER OF ATTENTIONSenior center Sean Bedford, an aerospace engineer-ing major, has come a long way -- from walk-on scoutteam player to first team All-ACC and a candidate forthe Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award:

� Bedford grew up in Gainesville, Fla., where he wasa big Florida Gator fan, attended most Gator homegames, and went to the same church as Urban Meyer(Meyer’s daughter plays volleyball at Georgia Tech).

� Bedford, an outstanding student, was only recruitedfor football by Ivy League-type schools. Wanting to playbig-time college football, he chose to walk-on at Techand follow his other passion – aerospace engineer-ing.

� Under former coach Chan Gailey, Bedford toiled onthe scout team as a defensive lineman. In the springof 2008, new coach Paul Johnson loved Bedford’swork ethic and told him: “Instead of beating our start-ing offensive linemen every snap, why don’t you justtake their place?”

� Bedford moved to the offensive line and immedi-ately made progress. In the spring of 2009 heemerged as the starting center, subplanting a two-year senior starter. Last season, Bedford earned firstteam All-ACC honors and helped Tech rank second na-tionally in rushing offense. This year, he was namedfirst team All-ACC for a second time and is a candidatefor the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award.

Paul Johnson2009 ACC Coach of the Year2008 ACC Coach of the Year

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING"I think his teams in the future will compete for champi-onships because it's the way he programs a team. I don't be-lieve his system is just the triple option. I believe his systembuilds all the way from the offseason, how he... makes menout of boys. It's a mentality, and I think it's showing up in foot-ball games."-- Darryl Richard, New England Patriots

"He's a very intelligent person. He knows the offense issound. He knows it's not a gimmick offense. He knows it'sbased on angles and numbers. He's added wrinkles to it aspeople have come up with ways to stop it. He has an answerfor everything when it comes to his offense."-- Navy head coach Ken Niumatalolo

"I think it carries over to us a lot because we see it from himevery day. When we see how competitive he is, we have nochoice but to go out and play well for him."-- Senior quarterback Joshua Nesbitt

“He is the most underrated coach in the country."-- Paul Meyerberg, New York Times
