Georgia Tech is back on the road for another ACC contest, facing No. 19 Louisville at 3:30 p.m. Saturday.

The Yellow Jackets (3-1, 1-1 ACC) are off to their best start since 2017, but face a tough test in a pivotal contest as far as the ACC title game race is concerned. With one league loss already, Tech can ill afford to drop another ACC game if it hopes to get to Charlotte in December for the ACC Championship game.

Coach Brent Key’s team is coming off a 59-7 rout of Virginia Military Institute at home. That was one of the program’s bigger wins in recent memory, one which it allowed many of Tech’s starters to rest during the second half.

Louisville has played only two games, beating Austin Peay 62-0 and Jacksonville State 49-14. The Cardinals were off last weekend.

“At the end of the day Louisville’s gonna be a great football team — offensively, defensively, special teams,” Tech quarterback Haynes King said this week on ACC Network. “They’re gonna be a well-coached team, disciplined, tough, rally to the ball. So we’re definitely gonna have our hands full. But at the same time it’s our chance to showcase our abilities and make plays as a whole team.”
