This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.

PAUL, Minn.Virginia Techs path to the Atlantic Coast Conference title game is now clear.After Duke beat No. 15 North Carolina 28-27 on Thursday night, the No. 18 Hokies (7-2, 5-1) can clinch a berth in the league championship game on Dec. 3 with win Saturday against Georgia Tech (5-4, 2-4).It would be the first title shot for the Hokies since 2011, but its not likely to come easily against a Yellow Jackets team chasing bowl eligibility. Georgia Tech has averaged 358 rushing yards in its past two games, against Duke and North Carolina.I think they do a lot of just things to mess with your eyes. You know, fake handoffs, pitches, Hokies middle linebacker Andrew Motuapuaka said of coach Paul Johnsons triple-option offense. Youve just got to be fundamentally sound and youve got to make sure youre doing your job and youre not trying to do too much.The Yellow Jackets will be without leading rusher Dedrick Mills, who has been suspended, but are likely to have quarterback Justin Thomas.Thomas is Georgia Techs second-leading rusher, and while he throws sparingly compared to other quarterbacks, he has been very efficient. Thomas has completed better than 64 percent of his passes over the last four games with five touchdowns and no interceptions. He has completed two passes of 80 or more yards, and has an 82-yard run.Defensively, however, the Yellow Jackets have struggled, allowing more than 400 yards per game.We just havent made very many plays, Johnson said. Weve had a hard time getting pressure on the quarterback and we had a hard time covering. Thats a daily combination. You know, we just havent played well there.North Carolinas 636 yards last week was the second-highest total allowed in program history.---Some other things to watch when Georgia Tech visits Virginia Tech:DISTRACTIONS: First-year coach Justin Fuente appears to have been able to use the Hokies surprise loss at Syracuse last month as a steady reminder of the dangers of getting too high on themselves, and that resolve could be tested tthis week with the preseason goal of playing for the ACC title within reach with a victory.dddddddddddd. Theres definitely reminders to stay focused on this week because at the end of the day, we put ourselves in a good position and we know what could happen, but that means nothing if we arent going to be able to make it happen, fullback Sam Rogers said.EFFICIENT EVANS: First-year quarterback Jerod Evans remains the key to the Hokies on offense not only for his efficiency in the passing game -- hes second in the ACC to Louisvilles Lamar Jackson -- but also his running ability. Evans has 21 touchdown passes and just two interceptions, and hes run for 533 yards.RAISE THE ROOF: Yellow Jackets defensive coordinator Ted Roof received a vote of confidence from Johnson this week. The Yellow Jackets rank last among the nations 128 FBS teams in third-down defense, allowing conversions 52 percent of the time. Georgia Tech also is last in the ACC with only eight sacks.BUDS BOYS: Hokies defensive coordinator Bud Foster has been at the helm of Virginia Techs defense for the entirety of Johnsons time as Georgia Tech, and has had some success in slowing the triple-option. The Yellow Jackets ran for just 161 yards last year in a 23-21 home loss in the series, the third time Fosters defense has held them to below 200 yards. The Yellow Jackets are 1-16 under Johnson when rushing for fewer than 200 yards.RED ZONE: Georgia Tech made five trips inside North Carolinas 20 yard-line last week and had only one touchdown to show for it. The other four trips yielded a field goal, a blocked field goal, a fumble and turnover on downs. They will have to make more of those opportunities to have success on Saturday.---AP sports writer Charles Odum contributed from Atlanta.---More AP college football: http://collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Hank on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hankkurzjr ' ' '
