Gimmick Offense

2009 Clemson (Scott Blair FG with :57 left)
2009 Clemson ACC title game (Jonathan Dwyer TD with 1:20 left)
2010 Wake Forest (Correy Earls TD with :10 left)
2014 Georgia Southern (Deon Hill TD with :23 left)
2014 Virginia Tech (Harrison Butker FG at end)
2014 Georgia (Harrison Butker FG at end to tie, win in OT)
2015 Florida State (FG to tie game at :54, won on blocked FG at end)
2016 Boston College (Dedrick Mills TD with :35 left)
2016 Georgia (Qua Searcy TD with :30 left)
2018 Virginia (Wesley Wells FG with 1:04 left)

These are all of the hurry-up drives I found where we either outright won or tied the game and then went on to win in OT during Johnson's tenure. This doesn't include games like the 2011 Virginia Tech game where Tevin Williams led us on 72-yard drive for a go-ahead TD with :44 left only to see the defense blow it.

So that's 10 hurry-up drives to win a game at the end in Johnson's 11 years here. Yes, we had some end-of-game drives that sputtered, but let's not act like we absolutely couldn't move the ball in a hurry-up situation.
