How to watch No. 8 Georgia Tech at NC State: TV channel, streaming info
Another week, another challenging road trip for No. 8 Georgia Tech.
The Yellow Jackets (8-0, 5-0 ACC) play at North Carolina State at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and not only will face a dangerous Wolfpack team, but a hostile environment.
“This is a huge challenge for us playing a night game up there,” Tech coach Brent Key said. “They’ve got a great fan base. Expecting a really good crowd. Expecting a lot of emotion packed into the stadium.
“They’re a tough, physical football team and have been for a long time. That’s the MO of, not only their program, but of the head coach. And they’ve got good players. They’ve been explosive on offense, have explosive players. We’re looking for a really big challenge.”
State (4-4, 1-3) has lost three consecutive conference games and back-to-back games overall. The Wolfpack lost 53-34 on Saturday at Pittsburgh and 36-7 at Notre Dame the week before.
Tech dropped a spot in The Associated Press Top 25 despite one of its best performances of the season, a 41-16 win over Syracuse at Bobby Dodd Stadium. The Jackets will be going for their fourth road victory of the season which would be its most since winning five in 2014.
