Georgia Tech Gives Duke Its First Loss
24-14 At Bobby Dodd Stadium
On the surface, some might have been surprised to see a 5-0 undefeated Duke team coming in to Bobby Dodd Stadium as a 10 point underdog to the 3-2 Yellow Jackets. But, a bit of research might explain that those wins were against a pretty soft schedule. The Blue Devils beat Elon and UConn at home, then went into double OT to beat Northwestern. Their 4th win was against a 1-4 FCS team in Middle Tennessee.

Brent Key Weekly Press Conference Previewing Duke
Getting ready for Duke. We're asking everyone to show up and be as loud as you can. Our players really appreciate it. Duke's defense is second in the country in TFL's and havoc plays, in stuffed runs. When you look at who's creating the negatives, it's not just D-linemen...a lot of DB's, safety pressure...inside, outside. That's what Manny (Diaz) is. I've gone against him a bunch in my career. I respect him as a coach and person.

Duke HC Manny Diaz Press Conference Previewing Georgia Tech
When we take a field on Saturday night in Atlanta we don't get to start first and five, because we're 5-0. We're well aware that the team we play is, by far, the most complete team we've played all year. When we were battling and pulling that game out on Saturday, they were sitting on their couches watching, resting, having had two weeks to prepare for us. We've got a real challenge awaiting us that our guys were excited for.

Georgia Tech Stomps VMI In Bobby Dodd Shellacking
A steady mist surrounded campus and an ominous looking sky managed to hold off a predicted storm. But, all of the pouring on was provided by the Jackets. VMI came in with a pair of losses at William & Mary (41-7) and to Bucknell 35-28. Tech was coming off a frustrating loss at Syracuse.

Georgia Tech Returns To Bobby Dodd Stadium To Host VMI
A big week is coming up for the Yellow Jackets as they prepare for VMI. Georgia Tech falls back to being an unranked team after its 31-28 loss to Syracuse. The Jackets are still a good team and have their full season ahead.

Georgia Tech's Late Rally Comes Up Short as No. 23 Yellow Jackets Lose On The Road to Syracuse
The favored Jackets were going against a team that lost its best linebacker to injury and gave up 6.5 yards per carry to Ohio last week. On paper, it looked like Tech had advantages up front coming into the game. That did not match up with reality though. Syracuse was the more physical team by a lot today and GT leaves with their first loss of the season and a lot of things to figure out.

Georgia Tech Impresses With 35-12 Win Over Georgia State
Given the short distance from the Georgia State campus, I was surprised there was not a lot more blue in the crowd. Tech fans filled most of what they didn’t, though. All 6,000+ tickets allocated to students were sold out. Big plays, a balanced offensive attack and defensive stands highlighted the first ever meeting between the two football teams. The key to it all is being able to get guys touches,” Tech coach Brent Key said.

Georgia Tech Host Georgia State
For Home Opener
The Jackets are favored in this one by a whopping 38 points to beat the Panthers in a blowout. That seems hard to believe. The teams have never played each other on the football field, even though their campuses are just two miles apart. A few players were commenting before the game that it has been difficult to prepare for a team that you really have no realistic film on.
