Georgia has won seven consecutive matchups.

It will be a test of mental fortitude for the Yellow Jackets, who have lost two of their last three games after starting the season 8-0. They lost to Pittsburgh and put a wrench in their ACC title plans, and they need a lot of help. They can easily come out flat and back down to their rival, or they can fight and make it a game as they did a season ago. With head coach Brent Key at the helm, Georgia Tech should be a fired-up bunch. They still have a lot to play for, and college football isn’t prone to chaotic weekends. It starts with meeting the challenge of Georgia and knocking off your rival.

“You know, a huge challenge for us. It's a challenge we're excited about. And, you know, very good football team, good players, good coaches. And playing good football right now. So, you know, and we've kind of been the opposite. We have not been playing good football the last few weeks. I'm not going to stay and deny it or hide from it,” said coach Key.

“So we've got work to do. We've got to improve, but that's what, you know, this week is. It's about what's right now. It's not about anything in the past. It's not about anything in the future. I told the team we got to put all those things away, and time up in a little bag and put them away and deal with full focus has to be, has to be on this game this week."

If Georgia Tech does defeat Georgia, it would be its second against a nationally ranked opponent. The other was Clemson earlier this season.
