After letting a lead slip away with a second-half collapse in the season opener, Georgia Tech faces what might be a welcome sight in an FCS program.

South Carolina State has lost both of its games this season, having been outscored by Jackson State and Charlotte 61-10. After playing the Bulldogs, the Yellow Jackets face consecutive road games, against Ole Miss and Wake Forest. Saturday’s game provides a potential boost ahead of playing those opponents.

Here is some important information regarding how to follow the action:

Date: Saturday, Sept. 9

Time: 1 p.m. ET

Location: Bobby Dodd Stadium, Atlanta

Records: Georgia Tech 0-1, South Carolina State 0-2
