Jackets hang on
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets knew they would have a tough test at N.C. State Saturday and they got it, then James Johnson’s late fourth-quarter TD pass finally put the Wolfpack away in a 31-23 marathon.
The Jackets now need just one win in their two remaining ACC games against lowly North Carolina or Duke to secure a spot in the league title game.
What did you think of Tech’s effort Saturday night? Was it the game you expected? Are the Jackets worthy of playing for the ACC championship? What issues about the team concern you the most?
Who was your star of the game at N.C. State?
And how should Tech approach next week’s game against the Tar Heels? Can this be a dangerous game?

Leaving Lexington a loser
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Georgia’s struggles worsened on Saturday when Kentucky rallied late for a 24-20 victory in Lexington, exploiting the Bulldogs’ propensity for turnovers.
They capitalized on two second-half turnovers to stay in the contest, then pull ahead for good inside the final two minutes. Matthew Stafford’s third interception of the game was converted into the decisive drive for Kentucky, which is above .500 (5-4) at this juncture of the season for the first time in a long while.
Meanwhile, the Dogs dropped to 6-4, with games looming at Auburn next Saturday and against Georgia Tech.
What made the difference in Saturday’s game? Was it turnovers? Or coaching and preparation? Or is Georgia just not as talented a team as some thought? Were the Wildcats better than expected?
And what about the rest of the season? Do you see any hope of an upset in the final two games, or does a 6-6 slate seem the most realistic outcome of what has been a very disappointing season?
What about Georgia’s bowl chances? Does this team deserve a bid? Could you even get excited about a third- or fourth-tier invitation at this point?
