From 2005-16, either Georgia Tech or Virginia Tech won the Coastal Division in 10 of the 12 seasons. This year, the game features two programs in search of a turnaround, with each fighting to finish the season eligible for a bowl.

Georgia Tech enters its second consecutive game with a big question at quarterback because of the health of regular starter Jeff Sims. His role Saturday again will go a long way toward influencing which team wins.
