Role Model: "Got it, Coach." Joe Hamilton (2000 Heisman Runner Up) was quarterbacking heavily favored Georgia Tech against ACC conference rival Clemson. Hamilton was getting tackled in the backfield on one possession after another. The quickness of the Clemson defense had caught Georgia Tech by surprise. Tech was down by 3 scores. Ralph Freidgen, offensive coordinator, signaled in for a time out. The quick conversation with Hamiliton was broadcast from the sidelines. Freidgen said, "This defense is way too quick for us. You need to have a count in your head. If you can't find a receiver after a 3-count, then either throw it away or tuck it and run." Hamilton replied with only three words: "GOT IT, COACH". Hamilton led the Tech offense on three consecutive scoring drives to win the game.
