No. 13 Georgia Tech Hosts Virginia Tech Today on ACC Network

Analysts highlight a pronounced red-zone mismatch favoring the undefeated Yellow Jackets.

Overview

  • Kickoff is 3:30 p.m. ET at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta, with TV coverage on ACC Network and streaming available via Fubo.
  • Georgia Tech enters 5-0 with three one-score wins, including a 30-29 overtime victory over Wake Forest on Sept. 27, while Virginia Tech is 2-4 after a 30-23 loss to Wake Forest.
  • Georgia Tech’s offense has excelled inside the 20 with a top-20 red-zone rate of about 95 percent, facing a Virginia Tech defense ranked 129th that has allowed scores on every red-zone trip.
  • Yellow Jackets quarterback Haynes King has produced through the air and on the ground and leads a rushing attack that also features Jamal Haynes and Malachi Hosley, while Hokies quarterback Kyron Drones paces Virginia Tech in passing and contributes as a runner.
  • Turnovers remain a concern for Georgia Tech with a -4 margin and five lost fumbles, though pregame handicapping such as CBS Sports’ pick favors Georgia Tech to cover -14.5.
