Preston Lyons News

Georgia Tech's Preston Lyons reacts as he scores a touchdown last week. ATLANTA - Georgia Tech is on the verge of securing a spot in the ACC championship game in only its second season under Paul Johnson.

When Preston Lyons transferred to Georgia Tech from Colgate it wasna t big news in the eyes of most Tech fans.

Josh Nesbitt's three-yard run in overtime sent 10th-ranked Georgia Tech past Wake Forest, 30-27, at Dodd Stadium.

After stubbing its toe twice in wins against Mississippi State and Florida State, Georgia Tech's defense simplified its schemes and did what it needed to do against Virginia Tech.

He needed only 19 carries to post his 11th career 100-yard game. Dwyer outgained North Carolina, which managed only 154 total yards.

Scott Blair kickoff for 70 yards for a touchback. 0 0 North Carolina at 14:45 UNC GT 1st and 10 at UNC 20 Shaun Draughn rush up the middle for 3 yards to the NCaro 23.

Miami head coach Randy Shannon said Wednesday on the ACC's weekly coaches teleconference that he is confident in the game plan the Hurricanes have tonight for stopping No.

Georgia Tech running back Anthony Allen had a lot to be excited about last Saturday.

We examined this morning the considerable contributions made by 5-star defensive backs Branden Smith of Georgia and Greg Reid of Florida State.

After watching film of Saturday's 37-17 win against Jacksonville State, Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson said the game was as he thought: a great first series, followed by a huge drop in intensity by his team.

Jack Crowe says he likes Georgia Tech's spread option offense. The Jacksonville State coach especially likes Yellow Jackets running back Junior Jonathan Dwyer.

The men behind the man say they are ready to go. Jonathan Dwyer handled more than 90 percent of Georgia Tech B-backs' carries last year.

First, the good part of the statistic: Georgia Tech lost at least two fumbles in eight games last season, but won four of those games.

In a year's time, Jonathan Dwyer's lifestyle has become a lot more hectic. That's what nearly 1,400 yards rushing and conference player of the year honors as a sophomore will get you.

Nineteen days into the practices, through the hottest part of camp, there is some drag to the Georgia Tech football team.

For the first time in nearly two weeks, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets have a day off.
