Georgia Tech opens the home portion of its schedule with a new rivalry game against Georgia State. Tech and State have never met, despite the two programs’ proximity (the Panthers have fielded a team only since 2010).

Tech is looking to start a season 2-0 for the first time since 2016. It is in that position thanks to a 24-21, last-second win over No. 10 Florida State in Dublin on Saturday at Aviva Stadium.

The Yellow Jackets (1-0) have not fared well in their home venue in recent history, going just 11-22 in the past 33 games at Bobby Dodd Stadium. They have also won back-to-back games just twice since 2018.

The Panthers (0-0) will begin the Dell McGee Era. A veteran coach who spent the past eight seasons on staff at Georgia, McGee has a team full of transfers and first-year players who are three-touchdown underdogs against Tech.

Saturday’s contest will be the first of five home games for Tech this season, the fewest home games the program has scheduled since the 1997 team also played just five. Tech is asking fans to wear white for the affair.
