Georgia Tech is in search of a homecoming win over a nationally ranked opponent for the second-straight year. Last year, the Yellow Jackets topped No. 17 North Carolina, 46-42, on homecoming weekend at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field.
• Georgia Tech returns from its second of three bye weeks to face its most formidable challenge of the season to date, a visit from No. 4-ranked and undefeated Miami (Fla.).
• For only the second time in head coach Brent Key’s two-plus seasons at the helm of the Yellow Jackets, Georgia Tech has lost consecutive games — a 31-13 defeat to then-No. 12 Notre Dame on Oct. 19 and a 21-6 defeat at Virginia Tech on Oct. 26. The Jackets played without starting quarterback Haynes King and leading tackler Kyle Efford in both games, due to injury.
• The Yellow Jackets have never lost three-straight games under Key, with their last three-game skid coming in 2021. The Jackets are one of only four Atlantic Coast Conference teams without a three-game losing streak since the beginning of the 2022 season, joining Clemson, Duke and NC State.
• Georgia Tech is 5-1 against nationally ranked ACC teams in its two-plus seasons under Key, including last season’s 23-20 win at No. 17 Miami.
• However, Tech is in search of its first win over a top-five opponent in 15 years, dating back to a 28-23 home triumph over Virginia Tech in 2009. The Yellow Jackets have just eight victories all-time over top-five teams, but one of those is a home win over Miami, a 14-10 triumph over the No. 3-ranked Hurricanes in 2005.
• Saturday’s matchup pits Miami’s offense, which leads the nation in points (47.4) and yards (556.9) per game, against a Georgia Tech defense that surrendered just 233 yards against Virginia Tech on Oct. 26, which was the fewest that the Jackets allowed to an NCAA Division I FBS opponent in a decade (190 vs. Clemson – 2014).
