50,000 expected for Tech-Georgia Southern

A crowd of about 50,000 is expected for Georgia Tech’s game Saturday against Georgia Southern. It would be in the range of Tech’s most well-attended non-conference home games, excluding Georgia, since the 2006 visit by Notre Dame (56,680). The largest was the 2010 South Carolina State game (51,668), followed by the 2007 Army game (50,242) and the 2012 BYU game (50,103).
