Georgia Tech Reveals Uniform Combination for Saturday's Homecoming Game vs North Carolina
Georgia Tech is prepping for their big game against North Carolina this weekend and both teams are hoping to bounce back from disappointing losses last week. Georgia Tech lost as a home favorite to Boston College to put a big dent in their bowl hopes and North Carolina lost to Virginia at home as a 24-point favorite. North Carolina is shooting to get back to the ACC title game, while the Yellow Jackets are hoping to pull another upset over the Tar Heels and try to get back to the bowl.
It is homecoming weekend for Georgia Tech this weekend and tonight, they shared what uniform combination they are going to be wearing this Saturday night. They will be wearing white helmets, gold uniforms, and white pants and you can check out the cool release video they did for it below.
If Georgia Tech can pull an upset over a nationally ranked North Carolina team, it would not be the first time.
When talking with the media on Monday, North Carolina head coach Mack Brown talked about the matchup on Saturday with Brent Key and the Yellow Jackets and how tough of a game it has been for his program:
"Georgia Tech is a game that has been tough for us. Atlanta has not been good to the Tar Heels, we have lost 10 of 12. Hear me now. We have lost 10 of the last 12 games in Atlanta to Georgia Tech. Everyone thinks that we have Miami's number because we have beaten them five in a row, well Georgia Tech has had North Carolina's number, and before I got here, in Atlanta so that makes this a game where people project that we lose. Period. Because we have. 10 out of 12 is pretty good percentages. They will be excited and they will feel like they are going to win because they have and we will have our hands full.
Brent Key has done a great job, he is a Georgia Tech alum and has pulled them all together and they are playing really hard and he will have them ready to go with a whole lot of energy and we have to do the same thing"
The best chance that Georgia Tech has on defense against this powerful North Carolina offense is being able to force three or more turnovers (like they did against Wake Forest and Miami) and force field goals in the red zone. The defensive line needs to find a way to get pressure on Maye so he does not get comfortable and in a rhythm.
I think that Georgia Tech can have success against North Carolina's defense if they don't turn the ball over. That has been the Achilles hill of the offense in recent weeks and if Haynes King can't protect the football, North Carolina will score.
Georgia Tech vs North Carolina kicks off at 8:00 p.m. on ACC Network.
