Virginia Tech Hokies at Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are hosting the Virginia Tech Hokies in college football action Thursday. The game is scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. start time

The battle of the Techs. This used to be a really big deal, but not so much in 2015. The Yellow Jackets and the Hokies have been two of the ACC’s biggest disappointments of 2015, neither factoring in the Coastal Division race. While the intensity will still be there at Bobby Dodd Stadium, the storylines and the impact will not. Virginia Tech, which needs two more wins to extend its 22-year bowl steak, is playing its first game since Frank Beamer announced he’d be retiring at the end of the season. Georgia Tech has no margin for error if it plans to be a part of the postseason for a 19th consecutive year.
