Georgia Tech vs Miami: Live Updates

Stay tuned here for updates from Atlanta for Georgia Tech vs Miami

It is senior day here at Bobby Dodd Stadium for Georgia Tech, as the Yellow Jackets welcome the Miami Hurricanes for their last game as ACC Coastal opponents. 

Georgia Tech is looking to move to 5-5 and keep its dreams of going to a bowl game for the first time since 2018 alive. 

It was announced earlier in the day that Miami would be missing a pair of starters for this game. Quarterback Tyler Van Dyke was announced as out earlier this morning, as well as running back Henry Parrish Jr. Miami is likely going to turn to true freshman Jacurri Brown to try and spark an offense that has not scored a touchdown in the last two games.
