ATLANTA -- Paul Johnson hears criticism of his Georgia Tech teams mixed performance in its 2-0 start, and he is reminded that it can be dangerous to reach conclusions after only two games.Last year was a painful example.The Yellow Jackets outscored their first two opponents by a combined margin of 134-19 in 2015. After the strong 2-0 start, they lost five straight and finished 3-9 overall with only one Atlantic Coast Conference win.The lesson was that it was unwise to read too much into lopsided wins over 2015 underdog opponents Alcorn State and Tulane.Georgia Tech, which plays Vanderbilt (1-1) on Saturday, opened this season with a narrow win over ACC rival Boston College before beating Mercer 35-10 last week. Apparently, Johnson has heard feedback that the win over Mercer should have been more impressive.The first two games we came out of the gate last year and killed everybody, and everybody was talking about how great we were, and we werent, Johnson said Tuesday when asked what he has learned about his team.And now after the first two games this year people want to talk about how bad we are, and were not. So its kind of somewhere in between.Johnson should learn more about his team in the next few weeks. After the visit from Vanderbilt , Georgia Tech plays No. 5 Clemson and No. 25 Miami.Johnson provided hints he is encouraged by what he has seen so far.At least this team in the first game found a way to win without our A game, he said, referring to the 17-14 win over Boston College in Dublin.Johnson said he gave a C grade to the win over Mercer.This game also should reveal much to Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason. The Commodores have lost five straight in the series and are 0-11-1 against the Yellow Jackets since 1941.Were facing a Georgia Tech team who we have not had the opportunity to beat in a while, Mason said Tuesday. So with that says theres an opportunity in front of us to do something great.Georgia Tech freshman running back Dedrick Mills, who scored the game-winning touchdown against Boston College, was suspended last week for a violation of team rules. He is back with the team and may start against Vanderbilt. Mills and Marcus Marshall are listed as co-starters.Mills rushed for 73 yards on 18 carries against Boston College.Marshall and Quaide Weimerskirch lost fumbles against Mercer.Qua Searcy ran for a career-high 91 yards on only seven carries in his first career start against Mercer.Quarterback Justin Thomas, who sat out the second half last week with a minor injury, should return against Vanderbilt.Matthew Jordan and TaQuon Marshall played behind Thomas. The three quarterbacks combined to run for 125 yards and four touchdowns in the spread-option offense.I thought Saturday we made some improvement in some areas, Johnson said. Weve still got a ton of work to do. Certainly were not where wed like to be in any facet.Its no surprise that the triple-option aspect of Georgia Techs offense has led to extra work for Mason and his staff. He said his staff began studying the offense this summer.---AP Sports Writer Teresa M.

Burfict was suspended for repeated breaches of the leagues player safety rules, the last of which stemmed from a tackle that left Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown concussed.The player, his agent and Bengals coach Marvin Lewis all met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and executive vice-president Troy Vincent after the appeal was dismissed to discuss his behaviour. Burfict has committed 16 personal fouls during his five seasons in the league, although the tackle on Brown caused the most reaction as it meant he missed the Steelers play-off clash with the Denver Broncos, ـwho won that match and went on to beat Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50 on Sunday,He was fined for three different plays during that game, totalling $70,000 (£48,350), and was also hit with a $50,000 (£35,500) sanction earlier in the season for a hit on Baltimores rookie tight-end Maxx Williams.ddddddddddddBurfict will not be eligible to return until Cincinnatis fourth game of the regular season, either in week four or five depending on their bye week, which is yet to be decided.
