THE FLATS – The Nissan Heisman House, a pregame experience that celebrates college football’s most outstanding players, will be on Georgia Tech’s campus Saturday afternoon in advance of the Yellow Jackets’ Homecoming game versus No. 9 Florida State on Saturday night.

The event begins at 12 p.m. Saturday and will be located on Tech Green, in the heart of Georgia Tech’s campus.
