It’s been a quick turnaround for the Georgia Tech football team this week.

After a double-overtime loss to Tennessee in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Labor Day -- it was actually Tuesday morning when the game ended -- the Jackets had to quickly shift focus and prepare for Jacksonville State and a 12:30 p.m. Saturday kickoff.

The Jackets hope to build on the performance of junior QB TaQuon Marshall against the Gamecocks, who are ranked fifth in FCS. Marshall earned ACC offensive player of the week honors after rushing for 249 yards and five touchdowns and 369 total yards against the Volunteers.
