Georgia Tech vs No. 17 Miami: Live Updates

In this story:
Kickoff is almost here for Georgia Tech and Miami!
After a dismal performance last week against Bowling Green, the Yellow Jackets are looking to bounce back and show they are an improved team this year under Brent Key and pull a big upset against Miami. It would not be the first time that Georgia Tech has pulled a big upset on the road under Key, as they were three-touchdown underdogs against Pitt and North Carolina last season.
Miami comes into this game off of their bye week and ranked No. 17 in the country. The Hurricanes have an impressive victory over Texas A&M this season but have been largely untested outside of that. The Yellow Jackets hope to test Miami tonight and put themselves in a position to pull a massive upset.
Kickoff is set for 8:00 p.m. on ACC Network, but follow along with us here at All Yellow Jackets and make sure to refresh the page for updates!
