Georgia Tech received their first major bowl bid in 40 years with their 39-34 win over Clemson in the ACC championship game. This win gives Georgia Tech their first championship victory since 1990 and a berth in the Orange Bowl.

We arrived in Tampa at around 4 pm after leaving at 8:30 am from Atlanta. We arrived to an empty stadium, which gave me a good opportunity to get a wide shot of the stadium. It was simply amazing to see the Georgia Tech and Clemson painted onto a field with ACC championship game at the 50 yard line.

As I was still up at the top, I was enjoying the view of the crowd bustling into the stadium.

Next, I had to get ready to shoot some of the players warming up. I saw a group of players getting ready to exit onto the field. The fans were going wild with excitement awaiting the game to come.

The pregame show was anything but ordinary. They lugged out a huge American flag for the audience to see.

Also parachuters were deployed from above, three to be exact, in order to land on the field. This was a truly amazing experience to see the precision that these individuals have, and their expertise at work.

CJ Spiller, Clemson’s running back came out with a bang. He was a force to be reckoned with.

He ended the day with 234 yards on the ground and 4 touchdowns. What an amazing performance for the MVP at the ACC championship game.

Georgia Tech Roddy Jones tries to evade the defenders and establish Tech’s run game.

I thought this series was cool, with Demariyus Thomas dominating the defense with his physicality.

Came out weird for me. I just don’t like the image of him and his stretched out jersey that much.

Jonathan Dwyer and Anthony Allen celebrating an early touchdown as the game is a complete shootout. Both defenses were having trouble stopping the opposing offense.

Embry Peeples exercises the option as he tries to stretch out the field. The tackling on Clemson’s side was nearly sifting out of their fingertips.

A classic picture of a “passing” quarterback of Josh Nesbitt. Ready to lock and load. He lead the game with 136 passing yards and 1 touchdown.

Jonathan Dwyer was leading the Georgia Tech ground attack and ended the day with 110 yards on the ground and 2 touchdowns.

Another image of CJ Spiller due to his dominating ability to evade defenders.

My “stock” image of CJ Spiller for the game which I though came out pretty well.

Georgia Tech safety Morgan Burnett tries to tackle CJ Spiller, but was forced to push him out of bounds.

Georgia Tech wide receiver Tyler Melton catches a quick screen pass for a couple of yards.

With Josh Nesbitt trying to become a more versatile quarterback, his secondary receiver Stephen Hill attempts to gain extra yardage on a quick pass.

Josh Nesbitt does what he is trained to do, run the triple option.

Penalties were plaguing both sides of the field when they needed it most. Here was a penalty on Clemson that wasn’t beneficial to them.

Josh Nesbitt running past the Clemson defenders, which allowed Georgia Tech to run an efficient ground attack.

Josh Nesbitt’s third down touchdown run celebrated with A-Back Roddy Jones. Nesbitt ended the day with 103 yards and 1 touchdown on the ground.

A crazy 70 yard pass to Demariyus Thomas ended in a touchdown. With one on one coverage, Thomas is nearly impossible to stop.

A potential upsetter, the ball was out of the reach of Clemson receiver Jacoby Ford.

A fourth quarter comeback attempt, Clemson quarterback Kyle Parker tries to scramble but is tackled short by Georgia Tech defenders.

Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson upset with the fourth down lineup and calling for a timeout.

The run that sealed the victory was Jonathan Dwyer’s 15 yard touchdown run.

Josh Nesbitt’s supposedly failed two point conversion attempt.

And the rest is the ensuing celebration for making it into their first BCS bowl, the orange bowl.
