ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson insists his players have not given up on a season that started going sideways in September.
He likewise says the maximum effort hasn't been enough to change the results.
The Yellow Jackets are in danger of finishing 3-9 if they lose Saturday at Miami and in two weeks to Georgia. Last year they went 11-3, won the Orange Bowl and earned a No. 8 final ranking.
Picked in preseason to win the ACC Coastal Division for a second straight year, Georgia Tech keeps finding ways to lose close games.
Other than the blowout defeat at Clemson last month, the Jackets have had chances to win six games in the closing minutes but came up short each time.
