In what might be considered a fitting conclusion, Georgia Tech was assigned yet another early kickoff for the Georgia game Nov. 26 in Athens.

The Yellow Jackets and Bulldogs will play at noon on the SEC Network. It will be the eighth time in 12 games that Tech will have played a game that started at either noon or 12:30 p.m. For Tech fans looking for omens, they might note that Tech’s 30-24 win over Georgia in 2014 had the same time slot and broadcast outlet.
