Pop-Tarts Bowl: No. 12 BYU vs. No. 22 Georgia Tech Kick Off Saturday in Orlando

Both teams say they will be close to full strength, with BYU missing leading rusher L.J. Martin after shoulder surgery and Georgia Tech handing play-calling to quarterbacks coach Chris Weinke.

Overview

  • Kickoff is Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC from Camping World Stadium in Orlando.
  • A victory would give BYU its first 12-win season since 2001, while Georgia Tech is chasing its first 10-win campaign since 2014.
  • No player opt-outs are reported for either side, a rarity in the current bowl landscape.
  • The matchup pairs Georgia Tech’s top-13 offense and ACC Player of the Year Haynes King against BYU’s top-30 defense and freshman QB Bear Bachmeier, the Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year.
  • The bowl leans into its brand with edible Pop-Tart mascots, sprinkle-accented helmets, themed end zones, and a trophy featuring a working toaster.
