Classic Goodbye

Joe Hamilton said goodbye to Bobby Dodd Stadium in classy style, leading the Jackets to a heart-throbbing victory over archrival Georgia. The Georgia Tech quarterback racked up 438 yards of offense, making him No. 1 on the Atlantic Coast Conference all-time total offense list with 10,640 yards, as well as the holder of the single-season mark of 3,794 yards. And his four TDs made him the league’s all-time leader in touchdown passes with 65. Hamilton, a unanimous choice for all-ACC first-team quarterback, set single-season records for most yards of total offense (508.4 avg.), most yards of passing offense (283.4 avg.), most points in a season in the modern era (448) and most touchdowns (59).
