But Geoff Rigsby's snap never got up in the air, skipping past punter Cole Chason, who just fell on it at the Tigers' 11. "Geoff hadn't done that in a year-and-a-half and it just happened to happen tonight," Clemson coach Tommy Bowden said. The Yellow Jackets hustled their offense on the field, with coach Chan Gailey telling them to get the ball to Johnson. "We couldn't give up a chance like that," Johnson said. "I knew if they got it to me, I could catch it." The freshman took off to the left sideline just over the goal line and leaped over Justin Miller for his second touchdown catch of the game from 11 yards out with 11 seconds to go.

Duke...Johnson found the end zone twice for 20 & 13-yard touchdowns, as all six of his grabs were good for first downs, including two inside the red zone, as the frosh receiver picked up 92 yards in a 24-7 triumph...Tech pushed its lead to 14-0 in the second quarter on QB Reggie Ball's 20-yard touchdown pass to Johnson...Tailback P.J. Daniels had five carries on the first seven plays of Tech's first second-half possession, and Duke was expecting another run on a second-down play from Blue Devils' 13. Daniels took the handoff from Ball and rolled right before suddenly stopping and passing to an open Johnson for a 13-yard touchdown and a 24-7 lead...Head to Head Competition-CB#3-Kenneth Stanford-Seven tackles (3 solos), one stop for a 1-yard loss, one interception.

He then drew a pass interference penalty for another first down. Ball then threw a 1-yard scoring lob to Levon Thomas that ended an 11-play, 49-yard drive with 7:15 left to play. His one-handed grab over the middle on a ball thrown well behind him was selected as the Top Play of the Day on ESPN and was later tabbed as the second-best Top Play for the entire college football season...On the team's next drive, defensive end Mario Williams tackled Calvin for a 2-yard loss on a reverse...Head to Head Competition-CB#28-Lamont Reid-One solo tackle, one pass deflection.
Connecticut...Johnson gained a single-season high 131 yards on six receptions. Four of his grabs resulted in first downs, including one on a third-down play. Three of his catches were for longer than 20 yards, as he hauled in a pair of passes inside the red zone in a 30-10 triumph...On the game's first play from scrimmage, Johnson came up with a 45-yard gain on a sideline throw from QB Reggie Ball, setting up the quarterback's 4-yard scoring strike to fullback Jimmy Dixon...Calvin added a 29-yard catch that had five more yards tackled on when cornerback Justin Perkins was flagged for grabbing the Tech receiver's face mask.

We started off with a bang, with the big play right off the bat. We thought we had a chance and we knew we would be stacking against the run and it was hard to run in the first half. They made some big plays, all of them; not just him (Ball) but they made some big plays. We dropped a couple of passes first half so Reggie's first half stats may have been unbelievable."...Record Watch-Johnson's 131 yards gave him 624 for the season, breaking the old Tech single-season record for freshmen of 593 yards by Greg Lester in 1987...His six catches gave him 36 for the season, ranking second on the school's single-season record chart for first year players, topped only by Robert Lavette's 45 in 1981...Head to Head Competition-CB#2-Justin Perkins-Six tackles (5 solos).

Five of those grabs were good for first downs in a 30-10...Johnson was beaten on two plays by cornerback Marcus Hamilton, as the defender intercepted passes on both occasions. "I prepare like I'm starting every game," Hamilton said. "I try to get interceptions. Tackles are good, but I like interceptions better." Hamilton fourth quarter interception ended any thoughts of a come-back by the Yellow Jackets. "The pressure the front put on was amazing," Marcus said. "Reggie (Ball) had to think fast. You can't throw accurately when you have to think fast."... Johnson set up a third quarter 34-yard field goal by Travis Bell with a 37-yard catch that put the ball at the Virginia 15...Later in that quarter, he made a 20-yard grab, only to poorly time his leap, as Hamilton picked off Ball's pass in the end zone for a touchback, setting up a 22-yard touchdown run by Virginia tailback Wali Lundy...Record Watch-Johnson increased his season totals to 41 catches for 732 yards.

Daniels in the third quarter...Minter would later be flagged again for interfering with a Reggie Ball pass thrown to Calvin in the fourth quarter...Record Watch-Calvin set the Tech all-time record for receptions by a freshman, bringing his season total to 46.
