ATLANTA -- Georgia Techs relentless spread-option attack with its triple-option potential is known for causing sleepless nights for defensive coordinators.Most of the Yellow Jackets yards usually come on the ground.This week Georgia Tech also has to worry about stopping the run when Southeastern Conference rushing leader Ralph Webb leads Vanderbilt against the Yellow Jackets on Saturday.Webb ran for a career-high 211 yards and two touchdowns in the Commodores 47-24 win over Middle Tennessee last week. Webb, a junior, is only 711 yards rushing behind Zac Stacys Vanderbilt career record.I would think if we dont stop it well see it until our nose bleeds, said Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson of Webbs runs. Hell be downhill.Coach Derek Mason isnt afraid of giving the ball to Webb as much as possible.Youve got to go with what works for you, Mason said.Johnson said Vanderbilt is a power running team.Theyre gonna pack it in there and come get you, he said. Theyre not hard to find.Webb leads the SEC with 308 yards rushing after running for 1,152 yards in 2015.Georgia Tech (2-0) has dominated the series against Vanderbilt (1-1). The Yellow Jackets have won five straight in the series, including the most recent meeting in 2009, and are 11-0-1 against the Commodores since 1941.Vanderbilt center Barrett Gouger said this is a chance to end that ugly streak.Were facing a Georgia Tech team who we have not had the opportunity to beat in a while, Gouger said. ... So theres an opportunity in front of us to do something great.---Some other things to look for as Georgia Tech faces Vanderbilt:QB OK TO GO: Georgia Tech quarterback Justin Thomas was held out of the second half of last weeks 35-10 win over Mercer with a minor injury but is expected to start this week. Backup quarterbacks Matthew Jordan and TaQuon Marshall each ran for a touchdown after Thomas left last week.HELP FOR WEBB: Webbs big game last week was Vanderbilts best rushing performance since Frank Mordica set the SEC record with 321 yards in 1978. Whats helping keep Webb fresh through two games this season is the emergence of Khari Blasingame, who moved from linebacker to running back. Blasingame has 87 yards rushing with a team-leading three touchdowns on the ground.LIGHTS ON: Vanderbilts offense finally showed signs of life aside from Webb last week with Kyle Shurmur completing passes to 10 different teammates. He also completed 13 of 14 passes in one stretch after missing on his first seven passes and finished with 113 yards passing and one TD. Vanderbilt needs balance to keep defenses from focusing on Webb. I just hope that the lights are on, Mason said. That we paid the light bill, and Kyle Shurmur can actually continue to push this offense forward.LIGHTS ON II: Johnson said sophomore running back Qua Searcy, who leads the Yellow Jackets with 87 yards rushing, performs better in games than in practice. There are some guys when the lights come on and the game starts they just kind of up their play a little bit and thats kind of what hes done, Johnson said.ACC VS SEC: Johnson acknowledged its impossible to ignore the conference rivalry that comes with the matchup. Its Georgia Tech vs. Vanderbilt, but thats part of it, he said. Were playing for Georgia Tech and I guess the league because people keep track of it. We hear a lot of it. Both schools were charter members of the SEC in 1933. Georgia Tech left the league after the 1963 season. This is the Yellow Jackets first regular-season game against a team from the SEC other than in-state rival Georgia since a 42-31 win at Mississippi State in 2009.---AP Sports Writer Teresa M.

PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh defensive end Cameron Heyward isnt opposed to a rotation along the line. Hes also OK with playing as many snaps as necessary.The Steelers made it a goal in the offseason to give Heyward and Stephon Tuitt support at end.Whatever cards were dealt, were going to be ready, Heyward said. We would love to have depth, but were not going to just give reps to anybody. We have to be well-conditioned and we have to be ready for that, but if we have guys that are able to step up, we welcome it.The Steelers realize they have one of the most formidable tandems at defensive end in Heyward and Tuitt. Thats why Keith Butler, in his first season as defensive coordinator, opted to find ways to create additional pressure on the quarterback with his two DEs.We have two guys that are probably as good as anybody in the league in that position, Butler said. We played them a lot last year. We would like to be able to rest them a little bit, so they can be fresh and maybe our four-man rush will improve.The pass rush improved considerably in 2015 as Pittsburgh finished third in the league with 48 sacks. That was an increase from 2014, when the Steelers totaled 33 sacks for a 26th-place league ranking. Heyward and Tuitt did their part, combining for 13 1-2 sacks in 2015, while the rest of the pressure came from the secondary and linebackers.Heyward feels a rotation along the defensive line could increase those numbers.You look around the league and the great (defensive) lines have a good rotation, and theyre fresh by the playoff run, Heyward said. If we can have that and have a continuity where it continues to grow, Id be happy with that too.Heyward played 88 percent of the teams snaps on defense, while Tuitt followed at 78 percent. The next closest along the defensive line was former nose tackle Steve McLendon at 34 percent, and Cam Thomas with 16 percent of the snaps.ddddddddddddHeyward admitted inexperience along the defensive line, but pointed out growth from players such as L.T. Walton, the Steelers 2015 sixth-round pick, and this seasons third-round pick Javon Hargrave. He also expects contributions from seven-year veteran Ricardo Mathews.Were just about including them and trying to make them grow in our defense, Heyward said.A rotation along the defensive line will go a long way toward preserving the Steelers two best up-front pass rushers. Heyward will be ready regardless.I can stay in, Heyward said. Weve been doing it. My goal is to be ready for the game and to be ready for the fourth quarter, because thats when games are decided.If we can get a rotation, thats great, but if we only have so many guys, and those are the cards were dealt, then Im going to play. Im not going to moan or cry about it. It just means we have to make more plays.Game notes Ben Roethlisberger, LeVeon Bell, DeAngelo Williams and Antonio Brown will play for the first time in the preseason Friday at New Orleans. .
