Georgia Tech's Option Stings Heels

Posted Sep 26, 2009
Georgia Tech chewed up massive chunks of yardage and game clock in exposing No. 18 North Carolina on Saturday, handing the Tar Heels their ninth-straight ACC-opening loss with a 24-7 margin that was not that close. The opening drives told the story in Atlanta on Saturday for the Tar Heels (3-1, 0-1 ACC) and the Yellow Jackets (3-1, 2-1 ACC). Paul Johnson’s option rushing attack churned out 88 yards in nine plays. (Inside Carolina)
