The Georgia Tech cheerleaders, coaches, players ant the Ramblin' Wreck make their way down "Yellow Jacket Alley" before the Yellow Jackets game against Pittsburgh on Sept. 23 at Bobby Dodd Stadium.

Georgia Tech (1-1) is set to take on Pittsburgh (1-2) today at Body Dodd Stadium.

The Yellow Jackets had an extra week to prepare for this game after their contest with UCF was cancelled on Sept. 16 due to the impact of Hurricane Irma. The Panthers faced No. 6 Oklahoma State last weekend losing 59-21 as Cowboys’ quarterback Mason Rudolph threw for 497 yards and five touchdowns.

Georgia Tech comes into Saturday’s matchup looking for revenge against Pittsburgh who has gotten the better of the Yellow Jackets the last two seasons by a combined six points. Both years, the Panthers hit field goals in the waning moments of the game to sink the Yellow Jackets.

This is the 12th meeting between the two teams with the Panthers leading the all-time series 7-4.

Kickoff is set for 12:20 and the game can be seen on the ACC Network.
