- Both teams report no major opt-outs, though BYU is without leading rusher L.J. Martin following shoulder surgery and Georgia Tech’s Chris Weinke takes over play-calling after Buster Faulkner left for Florida.
- BYU targets a 12th win for the first time since 2001, while Georgia Tech seeks its first 10-win season since 2014.
- Quarterbacks headline the matchup: ACC Player of the Year Haynes King powers Georgia Tech against BYU’s Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year Bear Bachmeier.
- The game kicks off at 3:30 p.m. ET from Camping World Stadium on ABC, with streaming options via the ESPN app and services such as Fubo and DirecTV.
- Expect the bowl’s trademark spectacle, including six edible Pop-Tarts mascots, fan voting on which team is ‘sacrificed,’ custom sprinkle-themed helmets, themed end zones and a toaster-topped trophy; betting markets list BYU as a slight favorite with a total in the mid-50s.
