The athletic department has implemented multiple technology initiatives for the game. One is a “virtual assistant,” which can answer questions about tickets, amenities, parking and more. It can be reached at ramblinwreck.com/techtalk.
3. The game is Tech's annual white-out. The Jackets have won four of their last five white-out games. The team will participate with white helmets, white jerseys with navy numerals and white paints.
4. Tech will debut a DJ in the student section, whose job will be to "help energize the student body throughout the game," according to an athletic department news release. It is part of an effort to get more students to games and providing fan support.
5. The game will be broadcast on the ACC Network by two men most familiar to Tech fans – play-by-play man Wes Durham (for 18 years the voice of the Jackets) and color analyst Roddy Jones (a former Tech captain) – along with sideline reporter Eric Wood.
