Tech-Georgia Southern kickoff set for 12:30 p.m.

Georgia Tech will play Georgia Southern Oct. 15 at 12:30 p.m. at Bobby Dodd Stadium. The kickoff time was released Monday. The game will be broadcast on regional sports networks, including Fox Sports South in the Atlanta market.

Among other things, it will mean a return to Tech for former Yellow Jackets broadcaster and Tech sports hall of famer Wes Durham, who calls games for Fox Sports South. It’s fitting timing as it will also be Tech’s sports hall of fame weekend. Among inductees is football great Calvin Johnson.

It will be Tech’s first appearance on Fox Sports South this season.

Tech’s game Saturday at Pittsburgh will also start at 12:30 p.m., on the ACC Network, including CW 69 in the Atlanta market.
