Historical Eye of the Tiger: Clemson vs. Georgia Tech

This weekend good ol' boy PAW=L (sic) Johnson brings his unranked, 2-3 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets into the personal house-of-horrors that has been Death Valley of late to take on Dabo Swinney's sixth-ranked, 4-0 Clemson Tigers. Johnson's Jackets have lost their pre-season "buzz," having followed up dominating wins over hapless Alcorn St. and Tulane with devastating losses to Notre Dame in South Bend, to Duke in Durham, and to North Carolina in Atlanta. Johnson won his first matchup with Dabo in the Valley 21-17 in 2008, Swinney having been on the job as interim head coach just five days and Johnson in the middle of his first year at the helm in Atlanta.
