  Geoff Collins believes the resiliency demonstrated by his Georgia Tech players shows "we're leaps and bounds from where we were." Collins also knows a more telling test awaits next week when the Yellow Jackets visit No. 6 Clemson. Fill-in starter Jordan Yates passed for four touchdowns and Georgia Tech contained Kennesaw State's triple-option offense to beat the Owls 45-17 on Saturday. "To come out and play at a high level in every area of the game is pretty cool," Collins said. With the bounce-back win from last week's stunning loss to Northern Illinois, Georgia Tech (1-1) gained momentum for its Atlantic Coast Conference opener at Clemson next week.

The performances by Yates and Kyric McGowan, who had two touchdown catches, are evidence of improved depth from back-to-back three-win seasons. Yates became the first quarterback in Georgia Tech history to throw for four touchdowns in his first start. The redshirt freshman completed 17 of 22 passes for 254 yards as the replacement starter for Jeff Sims, who was in uniform but held out with a left arm injury. Yates gave credit to his offensive line. "I'm really proud of my guys out there," Yates said. "They kept me upright all game up front." - Georgia Tech/AP College Football
