I’m making my way over to McCamish. Running behind thanks to Marta.

Team Notes

• Georgia Tech moved to 6-4 overall and 4-3 in Atlantic Coast Conference play. No. 4 Miami (Fla.) suffered its first loss of the season, falling to 9-1 overall (5-1 ACC).
• With its sixth win of the season, Georgia Tech clinched bowl eligibility. The Yellow Jackets are bowl eligible in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2013 and 2014.
• With a 4-3 ACC record, Georgia Tech is guaranteed to finish .500 or better in conference play for the third-straight season and 26th time in the last 30 seasons.
• Georgia Tech moved to 6-1 against nationally ranked ACC opponents under head coach Brent Key (interim head coach – final eight games of 2022; full-time head coach – 2023-pres.).
• The win was Georgia Tech’s first over a top-five opponent since a 28-23 win over No. 4 Virginia Tech on Oct. 17, 2009, snapping a 13-game losing streak against top-five teams.
• The win was Georgia Tech’s ninth in 106 all-time matchups against top-five opponents (9-55-2).
• Georgia Tech moved to 15-14 all-time against Miami. The Yellow Jackets are one of only two ACC programs that have played Miami at least 15 times and are .500 or better against the Hurricanes, joining North Carolina (14-11).
• The win was Georgia Tech’s second-straight against Miami and its fourth in the last six matchups with the Hurricanes.
• Georgia Tech moved to 4-0 this season at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field, which extends its longest winning streak at Bobby Dodd since it won eight-straight on The Flats from 2016-17.
• Georgia Tech snapped a modest two-game skid with the win. The Yellow Jackets remain one of only four ACC teams that has not had a three-game losing streak since the beginning of the 2022 season (joining Clemson, Duke and NC State).
• Georgia Tech’s 271 rushing yards were the most that Miami, which had the nation’s No. 8-ranked rushing defense coming in (95.2 ypg), has allowed this season (prev.: 206 vs. Virginia Tech – Sept. 27).
• Georgia Tech attempted just 16 passes, but completed 11, including two touchdowns.
• Georgia Tech held Miami’s offense, which was ranked No. 1 nationally in scoring (47.4 ppg) and total offense (556.9 ypg) to 23 points and 436 yards.
• Georgia Tech’s 17-play, 75-yard, 10-minute-and-45-second touchdown drive spanning the first and second quarters was the second-longest scoring drive in terms of time elapsed in program history (record: 10:47 TD drive at Virginia – Oct. 24, 2009).
• The 17-play scoring drive was also Georgia Tech’s longest this season in terms of plays (prev.: 16-play FG drive at Louisville – Sept. 21). The Yellow Jackets’ previous long TD drives of the season were 14 plays (Aug. 24 vs. Florida State and Oct. 5 vs. Duke).
• Attendance of 47,538 was the largest for an ACC game at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field since 48,217 attended a 27-21 win over Miami on Nov. 10, 2018, a victory that clinched bowl eligibility for the 6-4 Jackets.

Individual Notes

• Georgia Tech r-Jr. RB Jamal Haynes ran for 81 yards on two carries on the opening series of the game (65-yard run and a 16-yard touchdown run) but left the game due to injury after the first play of the Yellow Jackets’ second possession. He finished with three runs for 83 yards (27.7 avg.).
• After missing the previous two games due to injury, r-Jr. QB Haynes King returned to the starting lineup and split time with Fr. QB Aaron Philo. King completed 6-of-6 passes for 32 yards and one touchdown and ran 20 times for 93 yards and one touchdown.
• King (5 yds. to r-Jr. WR Malik Rutherford) and Philo (15 yds. to r-Sr. WR Chase Lane) both threw touchdown passes.
• r-Jr. DB Omar Daniels had a career-high eight tackles (prev.: 5 at Syracuse – Sept. 7), including a tackle for loss and also had a pass break-up.
• r-So. LB E.J. Lightsey had a career-high six tackles (prev.: 3 vs. Notre Dame – Oct. 19).

GT Navy in the Military Bowl. It is an honor to play a service academy team.

Brent mother****ing Key!!

this is just unacceptable on all levels

Heading up to Blacksburg Friday before the game . First time at VT. Been to Charlottesville and love the state of VA. Been in that area many times. Wanted to finally see lane stadium.

Where do Yall recommend I eat? Will be staying in Roanoke. Still trying to figure out when I get my tickets. I bought them though GT and I don’t think VT uses Ticketmaster

Allen is still committed to Louisville, but Georgia Tech couldn't have done a better job on his visit this weekend on the field and off the field. Sounds like this is a real flip possibility as we head toward Signing Day.

One to keep an eye on...

In here.

I had to rent a car at the airport after my car’s catalytic converter imploded this week. I’m down here returning the rental and there are a bunch of sad ass Miami fans in full Orange and Green just like the Dublin airport after the FSU win. Many chuckles for me seeing them nutting up about Mario again and again.

Holy smokes.

So glad Cooley did not get devastatingly injured here. The face mask before hand was the dirty as shit part of this. Honestly, otherwise this was just a good hit by 99. The other 2 they didn’t call actually were H2H and should have been ejections.

In old football terms, Miami’s D played great. They hit us harder than I’ve literally ever seen us get hit. Their offense failed them but their defense came to play. They don’t want to admit that cause they want Cam to win the Heisman, but his play extending, which is normally his special sauce, ****ed him yesterday. Huge props to GT defense. Daniels was the overall player of the game

North Oconee (8-0)

Last week: Beat Eastside 40-35. Harrison Faulkner threw a 3-yard TD pass to Khamari Brooks with 19 seconds left. Faulkner was 16-of-26 passing for 326 yards and five touchdowns and rushed for 46 yards on nine carries. Landon Roldan had eight receptions for 177 yards and two touchdowns. Next: Oct. 25 vs. Flowery Branch (2-5)

Jayden Barr a 3-Star GT Commitment scored all 5 of Eastsides TD's. Eastside's first loss.

VT only had to get 8.5 yards for a first down? Unreal.

I've been a Tech fan since I was a little boy. I remember hearing Tech beating Alabama on the radio in my parents' bedroom and joining my dad jumping up and down on the bed. This is when I was destined to be a Tech fan. I'm now 50 years old and have coined a term with my family. It's called "The Perfect Saturday" when Tech wins and Dawgs lose. This doesn't happen often but yesterday was 100% The Perfect Saturday. Go Jackets and congratulations to Brent Key and the joy he is bringing all Tech fans everywhere.

Surprised we do not have a UGA fan melt thread going. In case you missed it, they lost as well yesterday!

Can we start making an effort to kick fsu out of the acc? They lost 52-3 today and are obviously not taking football seriously. They are an embarrassment to our prestigious conference and should be punished accordingly. I’m pretty certain they wouldn’t win the MAC this year let alone a p5 conference.

I hope that Key and any of our future coaches put 8 in the box against a QB that obviously can’t throw down the field instead of giving up 271 rushing yards.
