Nesbitt's confidence soars as Tech's quarterback

• ATLANTA - Josh Nesbitt had to learn Georgia Tech's spread option offense on the run last season.
  
  Everything has slowed down in his second year as the starting quarterback for the No. 15 Yellow Jackets.
  
  "Now when I'm under center, everything is like it's in slow motion," Nesbitt said Monday. "It means I know what I have to do. When you feel like everything is so fast, you really don't know what to do. You can't adjust on the run."
