Georgia Tech vs North Carolina set for Primetime Kickoff on Saturday

Georgia Tech will welcome North Carolina for its homecoming game on Saturday

Last week, the ACC put the game time for Georgia Tech and North Carolina on a six-day hold, but the game time was announced today for the Yellow Jackets homecoming matchup and surprisingly, it will be in primetime. 

Georgia Tech and North Carolina are going to kick off at 8:00 on the ACC Network. This is the second time that Georgia Tech has gotten the 8:00 slot on ACC Network this season and the last time they did, they beat Miami.

In addition to homecoming festivities and ACCN’s on-campus programming, the Oct. 28 game against UNC will feature Georgia Tech’s On-Campus Salute to Paul Johnson in honor of his upcoming induction to the College Football Hall of Fame.

Both of these teams are coming off of losses yesterday, Georgia Tech losing as a home favorite to Boston College and North Carolina losing in the upset of the day against 1-5 Virginia. Both teams are looking to bounce back and for Georgia Tech, it will be about keeping their bowl game hopes alive and for the Tar Heels, it will be about trying to stay alive in the ACC Championship race. 

Outside of Georgia Tech fans, most would not know that the Yellow Jackets have won two in a row and four of the last five against North Carolina. Georgia Tech also leads in the all-time series 32-21.

Last season, Georgia Tech held UNC to its season-low in points, in total yards, and Heisman-contending quarterback Drake Maye to his season-low in total passing yards, and the Yellow Jackets pulled a stunning upset as a three-touchdown underdog that was down their top two quarterbacks. Let's see if the Yellow Jackets have another surprise up their sleeve on Saturday night.
