Johnson Downplays Georgia Game

Just another game? Georgia Tech vs. Georgia?
That's the way Paul Johnson sees it.

Win or lose, the ever-confident coach of the No. 7 Yellow
Jackets says he won't let Saturday's game against disappointing
Georgia define the season. Johnson says some people are trying to make this game to be as big as the Super Bowl -- at least in the state -- but he doesn't see it that way.

Johnson says the Yellow Jackets (10-1) have "bigger fish to
fry" after they face the Bulldogs (6-5). Georgia Tech will face
Clemson in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game the following week, with the winner expected to claim a spot in the Orange Bowl.

Meanwhile Georgia coach Mark Richt says it doesn not appear likely that wide receiver A.J. Green will play in Saturday's game.

Green hurt his shoulder against Auburn two weeks ago.
