Georgia Tech football photos: Temps soar during practice, August 10, 2009.

Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson smiles as he jogs with his players during the final minute of morning football practice on Monday, August 10, 2009. Tech is now practicing twice a day.

Roddy Jones (front) jogs at practice with his arm in a cast. Jones was Tech's most productive A-back last season and Tech's second-leading rusher with 690 yards on just 81 carries.

Safety Morgan Burnett (1) knocks down a pass intended for a receiver. Burnett has been named to the Watch List for the 2009 Jim Thorpe Award, which goes annually to the best defensive back in college football.

Anthony Barnes wipes sweat from the top of his head. Temperatures were expected to soar into the mid-90s by day's end.

Linebacker Sedric Griffin relaxes as a trainer squeezes cold water on his neck. The hot temperatures mixed with the dark blue jerseys caused players to overheat during contact drills.

Tech's 2008 ACC Player of the Year, Jonathan Dwyer, works with Eric Ciano, Director of Player Development, after experiencing a minor hip flexor during morning practice.

Quarterback Josh Nesbitt puts on his pads as temperatures climb.

Freshman quarterback Jordan Luallen uses crutches to move around during morning football practice Monday. He was injured during practice on Saturday.

Defensive back Mario Edwards reaches for the football during defensive back drills. The College Park native was an all-state DB at Westlake High School.

Robert Godhigh's blocking has been one of the highlights of the first eight days of Georgia Tech's camp. He has been complimented by Coach Paul Johnson, as well as other players.
