ATLANTA (AP) -Georgia Tech doesn't pass the ball very often in coach Paul Johnson's spread option offense.

Demaryius Thomas is making sure he makes the most of every attempt that comes his way.

Thomas is the unlikely Atlantic Coast Conference leader in yards receiving as No. 22 Georgia Tech prepares to play at Florida State on Saturday.

For Georgia Tech to boast the ACC's top receiver is remarkable considering the Yellow Jackets rank last in the league, and 113th in the nation, in passing offense.

Georgia Tech averages only 153.4 yards passing, and 107.2 of those yards belong to Thomas, a 6-foot-3 junior his teammates and coaches call Bay-Bay.

``He is a load,'' said Florida State defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews.
