Game time announced for next week’s matchup against Miami

Georgia Tech was off this weekend and will be back in action next Saturday night against No. 5 Miami. The Hurricanes moved to 9-0 today after beating Duke 53-31 and will look to remain undefeated and avenge last season’s loss to the Yellow Jackets. The game time for the big game in Atlanta has just been announced. The game kicks off at noon ET and will air on ESPN.

The all-time series between these two programs is tied 14-14 and everyone remembers how last year’s game ended. Instead of kneeling the ball, Miami kept trying to run the ball and Don Chaney fumbled it, giving the ball back to Georgia Tech. Haynes King connected with Malik Rutherford to get the ball down the field and then found Christian Leary for the winning touchdown with one second left. It was one of the most memorable endings in college football history.

Going into this game, Georgia Tech will be 5-4 and the No. 1 thing to look for is the injury report. Quarterback Haynes King and linebacker Kyle Efford have missed the last two games and their absences are felt. Zach Pyron got the start in both games, but he was benched in the third quarter of the loss to Virginia Tech. True freshman Aaron Philo came on and played quite well considering who the opponent was and the environment. If King is back, the Yellow Jackets can ease the anxiety.

The Yellow Jackets defense had a great game against Virginia Tech, but they will face the nation’s top offense with a Heisman candidate at the quarterback position. Miami quarterback Cam Ward is having a phenomenal season and Georgia Tech has struggled the most on defense defending the pass. The pass rush has been an issue for the Yellow Jackets this season and they will have to find a way to upset Ward next week.
