Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

The day has finally arrived for Georgia Tech's White and Gold Spring Game.

Brent Key is going to be leading his team out for his first spring game since being named the full-time head coach after last season.

There is going to be no shortage of intrigue on the field today for the Yellow Jackets. All eyes are going to be on the quarterback battle today and to see if any of them can possibly separate from each other and get ahead in the competition today.

The wide receiver position is also one to watch today, along with cornerback, offensive line, and edge rusher. Key is going to be looking for leaders to emerge from today as the Yellow Jackets head into the summer and get closer to the fall and the season opener against Louisville on Friday, Sept. 1st
