Brigham Young students got an early taste of what's coming Saturday.

Georgia Tech makes a trip to Provo, Utah, to face the Cougars this weekend.

On Tuesday, Coca-Cola caffeinated products - Coke Zero, in particular - mistakenly made their way to the Mormon campus.

Coincidence?

Coca-Cola is an Atlanta-based company whose headquarters border the Georgia Tech campus.

The Salt Lake Tribune reported that caffeinated colas, which are forbidden on the campus of the Latter Days Saints-owned university, were mistakenly stocked in a vending machine "and immediately caused a run on the machine."

The church’s flagship school has traditionally never sold nor served such drinks, despite student demand.

The Cougars (3-2, 0-0 Independent, FBS) crushed the Jackets 41-17 last season at Bobby Dodd Stadium.

Saturday's game - which features two of the top 15 rushing offenses in the country - promises to be high-octane despite the lack of caffeine.

The Jackets (3-2, 2-2 ACC) are a 7-point underdog .
