Top Storylines
• Following its first of two bye weeks this season, Georgia Tech returns to action at Temple.
• Despite having a combined total of 248 years of football history between them (Georgia Tech is in its 127th season, Temple is in its 121st), the Yellow Jackets and Owls are meeting for the first time on the gridiron.
• Saturday’s game represents a homecoming of sorts for Georgia Tech head coach Geoff Collins, who was the head coach at Temple for the past two seasons before returning to his native Atlanta to take the reins of the Yellow Jackets this season.
• A total of 16 members of Georgia Tech’s football staff (including Collins) were a part of Temple’s football staff over the past two seasons.
