UNC's Davis, Georgia Tech's Johnson ahead of schedule

Posted Nov 5, 2008
In a short amount of time, both Davis and Johnson have made their teams contenders for the Coastal Division title. Davis, in just his second season, is bowl eligible, as is Johnson, who implemented a new offense, a new defense and had to overcome an abundance of youth and injuries in his first season. North Carolina and Georgia Tech are ranked No. 19 and No. 20, respectively, in this week's BCS standings. The two well-respected coaches will face each other on Saturday. (ESPN.com)
