Charlotte, NC (SportsNetwork.com) - The second-ranked Florida State Seminoles and 12th-ranked Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will collide at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C. on Saturday evening, with the Atlantic Coast Conference championship on the line. Jimbo Fishers Seminoles have staved off defeat more than a few times this season but have come through the battles unscathed, as they have now won 28 straight games. The defending national champions knocked off rival Florida last weekend, 24-19 to finish the regular season at 12-0. The team won the ACCs Atlantic Division a couple of weeks ago and is eyeing up its 15th ACC championship since joining the league in 1992. FSU is playing in its fifth ACC Title Game and fourth in the last five seasons. Paul Johnsons Yellow Jackets are a formidable obstacle in the way. Georgia Tech earned the Coastal Division title and will be playing in its third ACC Championship Game in the last six years. The Yellow Jackets moved to 10-2 on the season with a thrilling 30-24 overtime victory over archrival Georgia last weekend. Earlier this week, Johnson was named the ACC Coach of the Year for the third time. I accept this award on behalf of our football program - assistant coaches, players, staff, and everyone involved, Johnson said. As everyone knows, this is not a one-person award. I appreciate the honor. These two teams are meeting in the title game for the second time in the last three seasons. Florida State won that matchup (21-15) and holds a 13-9-1 series advantage all-time. The Seminoles have been playing with fire this season, but have not been burned yet, thanks in large part to Jameis Winston and his cool demeanor in the face of defeat. Last years Heisman winner has engineered three game- winning drives this season alone to keep the Seminoles win streak going. The offensive numbers on the year are pretty good, with the team averaging 34.6 ppg on 430.2 yards of total offense. A good portion of that yardage comes via Winstons arm, as FSUs signal caller has completed 65.1 percent of his passes, for 3,250 yards and 21 TDs. However, he has been prone to make mistakes in 2014, with a whopping 17 interceptions, including four last week against Florida. FSUs all-time leading receiver is at Winstons disposal on the outside, as senior Rashad Greene is having yet another stellar season, catching 86 balls, for 1,183 yards and five TDs. Tight end Nick OLeary (44 rec, 517 yds, 5 TDs) is a viable option downfield as well. The FSU ground game has posted modest numbers this season (131.2 ypg), but freshman Dalvin Cook has come on late and really showed signs of explosive play. He currently leads the team with 728 yards (5.9 ypc) and seven TDs. Fellow tailback Karlos Williams (609 yards, 10 TDs) can move the chains as well, although he is listed as questionable with concussion-like symptoms. Hell have to be judged, Fisher said of Williams. Well keep him out for a couple days no matter what. They always do that. Then day by day well see how hes doing. Florida State has shown itself vulnerable on the defensive side of the football this season, yielding 22.0 ppg on 371.1 yards of total offense. The team has recorded 23 takeaways, but just 17 sacks in 12 games. Linebackers Reggie Northrup (101 tackles, 1 sack, 1 INT, 1 FF, 1 FR) and Terrance Smith (83 tackles, 1 sack, 2 INTs, 2 FF) lead in the way in the middle of the defense. Defensive backs Jalen Ramsey (69 tackles, 9.5 TFL, 3.0 sacks, 2 INT, 2 FF) and P.J. Williams (51 tackles, 1 INT) highlight the play in the secondary, while Mario Edwards Jr. (41 tackles, 11.0 TFL, 3.0 sacks) and Eddie Goldman (35 tackles, 8.0 TFL, 4.0 sacks) have been productive up front. The Yellow Jackets prefer to run the ball right down the throats of the opposition and they use their potent triple-option to near perfection week-in and week-out. Georgia Tech is averaging 333.8 yards per game on the ground, ranking third in the nation in rushing. Everything is set up by redshirt sophomore quarterback Justin Thomas. The 5-11, 189-pounder leads the team in rushing with 861 yards and five TDs, while showing rarely seen passing skills for a Tech QB, throwing for 1,460 yards and 16 TDs this year. Of course, Thomas isnt the only Yellow Jacket chewing up yardage on the ground. Both Zach Laskey (748 yards, 8 TDs) and Synjyn Days (686 yards 3 TDs) have contributed a great deal. In all, Georgia Tech has scored 37 times this year via the run. The team may have to rely even more on the run than usual, as Techs top receiving threat DeAndre Smelter (35 rec, 715 yds, 7 TDs) tore his ACL against Georgia and is out. Georgia Techs defense hasnt quite kept pace with its explosive offense this season, but has had its moments of dominant play. In all, the team is giving up 24.1 ppg, on .388.8 yards of offense and has forced 27 turnovers this year. Linebacker P.J. Davis is the teams top tackler and is closing in on the century mark in stops with 97 on the year. He also has four sacks, one interception and three forced fumbles to his credit. Fellow LB Quayshawn Nealy (84 tackles, 6.0 TFL, 2 INT, 3 FR) has made his share of plays as well. Freshman DE KeShun Freeman (46 tackles) leads the team in TFL (9.0) and sacks (4.5), while safety Jamal Golden (46 tackles) paces the team in INTs (4). Gerson Bautista Jersey .

Carlyle, alongside team president Brendan Shanahan and general manager Dave Nonis, continued to hunt for the remainders of a coaching staff, following the dismissal of his three assistant coaches – including long-time no. 2 Dave Farrish – in early May. The Leafs plan on hiring two new assistant coaches to support Carlyle, who received a two-year contract extension after Farrish, Greg Cronin and Scott Gordon were fired. Touching down in the state of Pennsylvania with team personnel on Wednesday, Carlyle has been speaking with prospective candidates all week and throughout the early stages of summer. "We have a criteria," he said of the interview process, minutes before Fridays draft was to begin. "We sat down and we created a few boxes that we felt we needed to fill. "And its typical where youre in an interview process you look for peoples strengths and the experience is always a factor – where theyve worked before or who theyve worked with; have they ever been a head coach before; what programs have they run; what were their jobs with their previous employer; did they run power-play or penalty killing units. Those are the kind of things that typically go into an interview process." Though he managed to hold onto his job, significant alterations to his coaching staff were deemed necessary after a season that rapidly deteriorated into another playoff-less season. Absent answers to the wreckage amid the unraveling, Carlyle has finally digested what took place and is looking to turn the page. But he remains of the view that "compete" was the downfall of a club that tumbled out of a certain playoff position in the final weeks. "We didnt comppete enough in the situations that we were presented with and consistently enough," said Carlyle, noticeably relaxed after a stressful season.dddddddddddd. Change is coming, he understands, and not just to the coaching staff. With a glut of unrestricted free agents – many of whom wont return – and multiple pieces to adjust and rearrange, the Leafs will resemble a different team in the fall. Just how different remains unclear, but it appears that youth should be part of the agenda with Morgan Rielly, Peter Holland, Carter Ashton, Jerry DAmigo, Petter Granberg, Josh Leivo among others in line to either garner more opportunity or earn NHL jobs. "Theyre going to be given more of an opportunity," Carlyle said. "Thats our plan. Our teams not going to be the same coming back. Its as simple as that. With the amount of unrestricted free agents that we have and the make-up of our group we know that some of those players wont be back with our hockey club." A favourite of Carlyle, in spite of his brief Toronto experience, Dave Bolland could be among them. The Leafs have engaged in a back and forth with the Bolland camp – fronted by agent Anton Thun – but have yet to find agreeable terms ahead of July 1st."Its not that were not speaking to each other," Nonis said Thursday, "its at this point we havent been able to find common ground for a deal." Bolland is one among many potential changes for the Leafs, who are also likely to shuffle their bottom-six forward group (with a glut of unrestricted free agents), defence, and backup goaltending position. Adjustment to the core group, following the second regular season collapse in three years, is also a distinct possibility. All of which means a busy offseason ahead for Carlyle and the Toronto management team. ' ' '
