Live Updates: Georgia Tech vs Wake Forest

It is a big night in the ACC, as both Georgia Tech and Wake Forest are in need of a win tonight in Winston-Salem. Georgia Tech is 1-2 with a pair of tough losses to Louisville and Ole Miss and looking for their first ACC win of the year. Wake is 3-0 heading into this game, but coming off a tougher than expected game against Old Dominion last week.

For Georgia Tech, a win here would be huge in their quest to get back to a bowl game for the first time since 2018. A loss would make that a very tough task.

The Yellow Jackets bring one of the best offenses in the ACC into this game and the ACC's leading passer in Haynes King. The key to the defense for Georgia Tech is likely going to be their defense. The Yellow Jackets run defense ranks among the worst in the country through three weeks.
