Top Storylines

• Archrivals Georgia Tech and Georgia meet for the 117th edition of Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate on Saturday night at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field.

• For the first time since 2018, Georgia Tech’s season will continue beyond the regular-season finale, as the Yellow Jackets clinched bowl eligibility with their 33-21 win over Syracuse in last Saturday’s Atlantic Coast Conference finale.

• With a 5-3 record in ACC play, Tech has finished with a winning conference record for the first time since ’18. After being picked 12th in the ACC preseason poll, the Yellow Jackets can finish no lower than fourth in the final league standings and can move into third place with an NC State loss to North Carolina on Saturday.

• Georgia Tech and Georgia are meeting for the 117th time in a rivalry that dates back to 1893. After a three-year break in the series from 1894-96, the teams have met annually since 1897 with the exception of 1901, 1908, an eight-year gap from 1917-24 and 2020.

• Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate is being played in primetime for the first time since 2010. It’s the first nighttime kickoff for Georgia Tech-Georgia in Atlanta since 2009.

• This year’s matchup between the Yellow Jackets and Bulldogs features a showdown between two of the nation’s top quarterbacks in Georgia Tech’s Haynes King and Georgia’s Carson Beck.

Competitive Drive Initiative Turn 2

Looking to build on the success of last year’s Competitive Drive Initiative, Georgia Tech, the Georgia Tech Foundation and Georgia Tech athletics are partnering once again to launch Competitive Drive Initiative Turn 2. CDI Turn 2 has a goal of raising $2.5 million in new gifts to the Alexander-Tharpe Fund’s Athletic Scholarship Fund by Dec. 31, and Georgia Tech and the Georgia Tech Foundation will match eligible gifts to accelerate the impact for Tech athletics. Like last year, not only will gifts to CDI Turn 2 be matched, but so will the contributor’s benefits in the way of A-T Fund giving levels and priority points.
