Kickoff time for Georgia Tech’s matchup with Duke announced

The kickoff for Georgia Tech’s next home game has been confirmed.

Tech will host Duke at 8 p.m. on Oct. 5, the ACC announced Monday. That will be the second 8 p.m. kickoff for Tech so far this season.

The Yellow Jackets (3-2, 1-2 ACC) are off this week after a 31-19 loss at No. 19 Louisville. A defensive touchdown and blocked field goal returned for a touchdown were too much for Tech to overcome.

Duke (4-0) has wins over Elon, Northwestern, Connecticut and Middle Tennessee, respectively. The Blue Devils and first year coach Manny Diaz host rival North Carolina (3-1) at 4 p.m. Saturday.

Tech leads the all-time series with Duke 54-35-1 and has won three in a row dating to 2019. The Jackets are 31-14-1 at home against the Blue Devils and have wo two straight at Bobby Dodd Stadium.
