1. Among unsung heroes for Saturday’s game is Chris May, Georgia Tech’s director of athletic grounds and sports turf. He has brought Grant Field a long way from the spring, when parts of it were patchy and devoted. Paul Johnson offered his compliments this week.
“I think Chris May’s done an unbelievable job on that field,” he said. “I see him, he’s out there seven days a week. That’s his baby, and we’ll see when we play four games in a row, but right now it’s really good. I give him a ton of credit. He busted his tail on that, he really has.
