Paul Johnson: 'I play to win.' (AP)

Some coaches probably would have taken the easy way out, just settled for the chip-shot field goal and took another shot in the second overtime. Not Paul Johnson. The Georgia Tech coach doesn't mind putting it all on the line, even at the risk of costing his team a shot at the Atlantic Coast Conference championship.

Josh Nesbitt had already fumbled on one fourth-down play, gotten tripped up on another. He'd also been stuffed trying to run for a first down, and had yet another all-or-nothing play ruined by a dropped pass. Yet there he was in overtime, standing on the sideline with coach Paul Johnson, insisting he could get the 18 inches or so Georgia Tech needed to keep alive its Atlantic Coast Conference...

Go ahead and tell Paul Johnson that his throwback offense can't work at a big-time university. He's heard it all before. Heck, he thrives on the skepticism. "You enjoy proving people wrong," said Johnson, who rarely smiles but allowed himself a bit of a satisfied smirk when he considered how many times he's done just that.

With Wake Forest coming to Bobby Dodd Stadium Saturday, the Yellow Jackets are about to play their 10th straight week. Georgia Tech won't hit its bye week until after visiting Duke on Nov. 14.

It's a strange time to get a break, with one game remaining. And it may be taking a toll on the No. 10 Yellow Jackets.

"It's a concern," coach Paul Johnson said Tuesday. "Any time you play 11 straight games, it's going to be tough. We're working on our 10th game this week without a break, and we have a lot of guys that are banged up and beat up. So, it's definitely a concern. We met this morning, and we're trying to piece together two units on the offensive line for practice.

Georgia Tech is probably a little too far back to become a factor in the national championship race. That doesn't diminish what the program has accomplished in less than two years under coach Paul Johnson. "I have all the confidence in the world that this team could go out there and play with anybody on a given Saturday," defensive end Derrick Morgan said.

Georgia Tech keeps proving that offense isn't a problem with coach Paul Johnson's spread option. The Yellow Jackets need to show they can be a little defensive as well. They rolled up a season-high 597 yards offense in a 56-31 victory over Vanderbilt on Saturday night that moved them up to No.

Turns out Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson has a few more tricks in his offense than just the triple option. Josh Nesbitt ran for two touchdowns and threw for two scores, Jonathan Dwyer ran for a career-high 186 yards rushing with three TDs, and No. 11 Georgia Tech rallied to beat Vanderbilt 56-31 Saturday night.

Bobby Johnson may know more about Paul Johnson's spread option offense than any other head coach in the nation. That could be bad news for Paul Johnson and No. 11 Georgia Tech -- but only if Bobby Johnson has enough time to pass his knowledge to his Vanderbilt players. The former Southern Conference coaching rivals will meet for the ninth time when Georgia Tech plays at Vanderbilt on Saturday...

Georgia Tech is making a run at the ACC championship by holding the ball longer than any team in the nation. Coach Paul Johnson's spread option attack has quick-strike potential with five scoring plays longer than 50 yards this season. But lately the No. 11 Yellow Jackets have been wearing down defenses with long, clock-draining possessions.
