Georgia Tech’s 2024 football schedule was adjusted slightly. The Yellow Jackets now will play VMI instead of Austin Peay as their FCS opponent, with the game still taking place Sept. 14 at Bobby Dodd Stadium. Tech made the announcement Tuesday. The Austin Peay game was canceled.

Sept. 14 is the third Saturday of the season. The switch essentially was a trade of FCS opponents with Louisville. The Cardinals were to play VMI on that same date but now will play Austin Peay on Aug. 31 of the same season. Louisville and VMI have rescheduled their 2024 game for 2029.
