ATLANTA – Head coach Paul Johnson’s first Georgia Tech team will play in the highly-anticipated T-Day Game April 19th at 1 p.m. in Bobby Dodd Stadium.
A full compliment of game day entertainment will be on hand with the marching band, cheerleaders and dance squad all performing. Former Yellow Jacket standouts will be interviewed on the video board at various points during the game.
Tech fans will get their first glimpse of Johnson’s spread offense and a youthful defense under the direction of new coordinator Dave Wommack. The Yellow Jackets return eight starters from a team that won seven games in 2007 and earned an 11th consecutive postseason bowl appearance.
