Paul Johnson unloads on ACC for ‘ridiculous’ schedule

Posted Jan 25, 2017
The ACC released its 2017 football schedule Tuesday, and it didn’t take long for Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson to have his suspicions confirmed. The Yellow Jackets will face three ACC opponents who will have an open date before playing them and Johnson is convinced it’s not a coincidence. “The conference tries to screw us every way they can,” Johnson told the AJC.
