Great win for Tech. I wish there was a video of the last five minutes of the game, when the Yellow Jackets scored three touchdowns to win, after being almost hopelessly behind. This was probably one of the Top One Hundred wins in Tech football history.
It's true that GT leads the all-time series 45-24-2, but that's probably because all of the games were played at GT's stadium from 1898 until 1973. Since they've been playing mostly home-and-away, the series has been pretty even.
when this went down, we were riding up 75 to a party...i was weeping and suddenly absolutely lost my shit. almost leaped from the car wholesale. the best moment of the reggie ball / chan gailey era, probably.
im an orange blooded tiger fan, but that was a very good comeback from GT, and for the love of god, would you guys saying "Ohh GT is betterrrrr" listen to what bkporter said, its a great rivalry and a damn entertaining game. leave it at that guys.
he shoulda kicked it into the endzone. They woulda still been winning by 1 point, and GT woulda had to go like 20-30 yards in 10 seconds w/ no timeouts.
Hmm, using that logic, both teams have been pretty lucky against each other. Going back since 1990, GT v Clemson has been 8-9 with Tech's average win being by 3 points and Clemson's by 12 points. If we take out Clemson's blowout wins in '06 and '03 (which I will grant were not luck but sheer buttwhoopings) of 36 and 24 points, the average changes to an average of a 7 point win. Why don't we just say that it has been a really close, competitive, entertaining rivalry for close to 20 years now?
This loss belongs to the punter, punting that deep any problems with the snap at all should make him think safety. I can't blame the D with a momentum shift like that.
Someone once said "I'd rather be lucky than good." That describes GT over the past few years. If not for incredible luck they wouldn't have won a game versus Clemson in about a decade.
@gtboy453 oh yeh, 07 and 08..the years he was injured against yall...i dont think he played a down in 08" but he almost had a full season of stats against yall this year...6 or 7 touchdowns...200 yards receiving..bout 400 yards rushing...dont think Calvin own quite as many NCAA records as spiller
based on what?!? we finished with a better record, beat yall, and won a bowl, despite having a much tougher schedule. Clemson always plays weak comp in the Atlantic division.
we say that now that we know who Calvin Johnson was. Back then he was just a freshman. Miller was a freshman all american, 3 year starter and all conference CB who would be drafted in the 2nd round in a few months. I think the coaches thought he could cover Johnson 1 on 1.
Punter should have kicked out the back of the end zone. Clemson would have won, 1 pt lead and get a new punt. Coach should have told him, or practiced that scenario or something. Bad coaching

"And the legend is born in Calvin Johnson!" From here all the way to the Hall of Fame. Go Jackets!
Yep, had to find this one on UA-cam today!!
This never gets old. Go Jackets!
This is one of my favorite memories of college at Tech. Freshman year, first away football game,,,I miss Calvin Johnson in a Jackets uniform!
Never ever gets old I’m just happy to say I saw it.
wes durham is such a great broadcaster. I'm sure tech fans will miss him...i'm just glad he's not leaving the falcons!
We do.
This NEVER gets old. Watched this at my grandpa's house. There's still a dent in his ceiling from my jumping and totally losing it ;-)

THE LEGEND IS BORN
That play sequence never gets old. GO TECH GO TECH GO TECH.
Now, in 2022, Clemson will win 48 - 7 or thereabouts.
wes durham is awesome
Megatron was just a freshman and Justin Miller (the corner covering him) ended up going in the first round to the Jets in 2005.
Dobey Doberton actually Justin Miller was a second round pick but yeah still pretty crazy
@@Jermboy11 this is correct. He was a pro bowler in 2006 also
i wish i could watch more of that game.
Wes Durham is great.
I wish there were more videos with sound clips of Wes Durham around youtube.
@Jean0987654321 It was. I took the ABC video and overlaid the GT radio broadcast over it. The announcer is Wes Durham.
a legend is born
GOAT.....I wish he would have gotten a chance to play with a good team in the NFL

I miss Calvin Johnson as well, but we have some good players in BayBay Thomas and Stephen Hill. Oh My! "Happy Days are here again!"
LMFAO @ this commentary "holy mackerel" jesus christ I'm dead

the same thing happened in the 2001 game against GA Tech.
last time i checked a win was a win whether it was by 4 or 36 points
he shoulda kicked it into the endzone. They woulda still been winning by 1 point, and GT woulda had to go like 20-30 yards in 10 seconds w/ no timeouts.
I was in the stands for that and even though im diehard Clemson that kinda shit has seem to always happen to us.
haha check out the ball boy celebration

That's true. Most of the time you get your money's worth when you watch a GT-Clemson game.
biggest mistake of my life was leaving this game early
Megatron!

huh?

You know what he wanted to say, lol.
I thought dat was Nessler
SON OF A GUN!!
i still can't believe they didn't give any help on calvin over the top. give the poor CB a safety of something.
I was at that game...Tech fans can thank clemson for that win, because Tech def. was not the best team on the field that day.
based on what?!? we finished with a better record, beat yall, and won a bowl, despite having a much tougher schedule. Clemson always plays weak comp in the Atlantic division.
Ted Jordan because the game was over. Clemson ran the ball all over tech that day. They beat themselves.
it was Clemson's fault on playing Calvin 1 on 1 on that last play, you knew that poor CB was gonna get beat!
Go Tech
we say that now that we know who Calvin Johnson was. Back then he was just a freshman. Miller was a freshman all american, 3 year starter and all conference CB who would be drafted in the 2nd round in a few months. I think the coaches thought he could cover Johnson 1 on 1.
@@tedjordan7567 I get that, but no safety help on a 6'5 receiver that torched you all day? How tall was Miller? 5'11 or so?
Painful to watch. Talk about snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory. Tough night for Geoff.
That was the worst mistake in Clemson football history.
Sure, but come on, no one would think to do that in the craziness of that situation. Panic and instincts take over.
Punter should have kicked out the back of the end zone.
Clemson would have won, 1 pt lead and get a new punt. Coach should have told him, or practiced that scenario or something. Bad coaching
Clemson was better for the first 55 minutes, but those last 5 belonged to Tech. ;)
@gtboy453 but when yall came back in 06' he def wasnt the best player. How many catches that year...0..spiller dominated
for all the crap reggie ball got he did throw good fades to CJ throughout his career
@gtcu17 '06 was not good at all.
i'm still sad after that.
This makes me sick on my stomach.
If he kicks it out of the back of the endzone, it would have been GT's ball at the Clemson 1.
And most of the games were played at GT's stadium because... Clemson sucked until around 1973.
