Top Storylines
• Fresh off of its most convincing win in more than two years, Georgia Tech travels to Raleigh, N.C. on Saturday for a matchup with red-hot NC State.
• After going 27 days between games, Georgia Tech pounded visiting Duke, 56-33, last Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium. The Yellow Jackets produced their most points since a 66-31 romp at Louisville on Oct. 5, 2018 and their most rushing (377) and total (523) yards since a 33-28 win at North Carolina on Nov. 3, 2018.
• With the victory over Duke, Georgia Tech (3-5, 3-4 ACC) surpassed its ACC win total from 2019 (2) and matched its overall win total from last season (3) with three games still left to play.
• Three Yellow Jackets — LT Zach Qunney (co-OL), Jordan Domineck (DL) and QB Jeff Sims (Rookie) — were named ACC Players of the Week for their performances versus Duke. The three ACC Player-of-the-Week honors were the most for Georgia Tech in a single week since three Jackets earned the recognition following Tech’s 58-23 win at NC State on Nov. 8, 2014 (Offensive Back Synjyn Days, Offensive Lineman Shaq Mason and Linebacker Quayshawn Nealy).
• After going five years between meetings, Georgia Tech and NC State are squaring off for the second-straight season, thanks to the ACC’s revamped 2020 schedule that was spurred by the Covid-19 pandemic. Last season, the Yellow Jackets topped the Wolfpack, 28-26, in a nationally televised Thursday night contest at Georgia Tech’s Bobby Dodd Stadium (Nov. 21).
• Georgia Tech leads the all-time series with NC State, 20-10, and has won three-straight games over the Wolfpack, dating back to 2011.
