The momentum from Georgia Tech’s impressive victory against Louisville a week ago is about to hit a brick wall. Next up for the Yellow Jackets is No. 1 Clemson.

Tech’s 46-27 victory against the Cardinals should provide a big boost in confidence for the Jackets entering this game at Bobby Dodd Stadium. The game also should provide another opportunity to get a read on where coach Geoff Collins stands in leading Tech’s improvement from its 3-9 record of last season. The Jackets have two wins already this season.

Stopping Clemson has been a tough task for most everyone the Tigers have played in recent years. Here are some tidbits provided by Clemson:

-The Tigers have never lost a regular-season game when ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press poll.

-The Tigers have won 48 consecutive games played on a Saturday.

-The Tigers have won 36 consecutive non-bowl games.

-The Tigers have won 33 consecutive regular-season games.

-The Tigers have won 25 consecutive ACC games.

The Jackets can take aim at those targets Saturday afternoon.
