[unforgiven108]

Two jackets named to ACC player of the week:

DEFENSIVE LINEMAN: Derrick Morgan, Georgia Tech, DE, Jr., 6-4, 275, Coatesville, Pa. (Coatesville)

Georgia Tech junior defensive end Derrick Morgan had a career night in Georgia Tech’s 30-27 win against Clemson on Thursday night in front of a national television audience on ESPN. Morgan had a game-high 10 tackles, a personal-best four tackles for loss (13 yards), and three sacks (nine yards). Additionally, he helped the defensive front pressure the Clemson offense into forcing two interceptions and holding off a Tiger comeback after Georgia Tech led 24-0 midway through the second quarter.

SPECIALIST: Scott Blair, Georgia Tech, K, Jr., 6-0, 198, Calhoun, Ga. (Calhoun)

Georgia Tech junior kicker Scott Blair converted a game-tying and game-winning field goal in the fourth quarter to cap a come-from-behind win for the 15th-ranked Yellow Jackets over Clemson, 30-27. After the Tigers scored 27 unanswered points to take a 27-24 lead early in the fourth quarter, Blair tied the game with a 34-yard field goal to cap a 12-play and 69-yard drive, then sealed the win with his game-winning 36-yarder. Blair also kicked a 24-yarder in the second quarter, converted all three of his point-after-touchdown tries, and even threw a touchdown pass to teammate Demaryius Thomas in the first quarter.

As per ESPN ACC blog.

Morgan needs to have another big day Thursday as well.

And he needs some help - he was absolutely winded in the 4th Q of the Clemson game.

And he needs some help - he was absolutely winded in the 4th Q of the Clemson game.

Hopefully he will not be on the field as long next week. I hope that we do not have nearly as many 3 and outs as last week.
