Georgia Tech vs. Temple: Jackets Rise on National Stage

94

By Jim Williams, Senior Columnist, Capital Sports Network

Georgia Tech isn’t just a feel-good story anymore—they’re a legitimate ACC contender. After stunning Clemson in Week 3 with a 27–24 comeback win, the Yellow Jackets have vaulted into the national conversation. Brent Key’s squad is 3–0 for the first time since 2016, and they’re doing it with a balanced offense, a disruptive defense, and a quarterback who’s rewriting expectations. Saturday’s matchup against Temple on The CW gives Tech a rare national spotlight—and a chance to prove their rise is no fluke.

What’s Ahead for Georgia Tech

The road to Charlotte is still long, but Georgia Tech’s path is clearer than it’s been in years. After Temple, the Jackets face Wake Forest, Duke, and North Carolina—all games that could shape the ACC standings. If Haynes King continues to deliver and the defense keeps forcing turnovers, Tech could be playing for a conference title come December. For a program that’s been rebuilding for nearly a decade, the buzz is finally back—and it’s louder than ever.
