100 Days to Kickoff: Opponent Previews – Boston College
Boston College tied for their worst record in a season, since going winless in 1978. Bill O’Brian enters his 3rd season in Chestnut Hill with a record of 9-16 and 5-11 in the ACC. Offense Terrible seasons lead to wholesale changes in the Portal Era. Starting QB Dylan Lonergan has moved on to Rutgers. The […]

100 Days to Kickoff: Opponent Previews – Virginia Tech
Georgia Tech travels to Blacksburg, Virginia, to take on the Hokies in Week Seven. Virginia Tech will have the eyes of the nation on them in 2026, as they made one of the best hires of the offseason when they snagged Penn State’s James Franklin. Last year, Franklin went from having the number two team […]
100 Days to Kickoff – Opponent Previews: Colorado
Georgia Tech’s football season kicks off on Thursday, September 3 against Colorado, finishing the home & home series that began last year out in Boulder with a 27-20 win for the Jackets. Last year’s was the first between the schools, retroactively becoming the 1990 National Championship Game as the two schools did not actually play […]
Most Interesting Overall Transfer: Jaylen Mbakwe
I suspect that recruits (especially wide receivers/cornerbacks) have been trying to convince college coaches to let them play both ways for years and coaches would not let them. After the success of Travis Hunter at Colorado (and Jackson State) coaches seem to be telling recruits that they will let them try, but then forcing them […]
Most Interesting Defensive Transfer: Noah Carter
Georgia Tech has had a long running issue in getting pressure on the quarterback and 2025 was no exception. The Yellow Jackets finished 92nd in sack rate (5.28%). What pass rush that did exist often came from the interior (Jordan van den Berg especially). The edge rush was even worse than the basic sack numbers […]
100 Days to Kickoff: Opponent Previews – Tennessee
Hopefully Georgia Tech doesn’t empty the tank Thursday night against Colorado, because an even bigger primetime showdown awaits. Just nine days later, the Yellow Jackets will welcome the Tennessee Volunteers for an SEC vs. ACC night game. The last time they came down from Knoxville nine years ago, it was an overtime thriller that ended […]
Most Interesting Offensive Transfer: Spencer Mermans
In 2024 Georgia Tech picked up Jackson Hawes from the transfer portal. This was a very low key pickup. In his 4 seasons at Yale the tight end had only 35 receptions, though he had a reputation as a good blocker. At Georgia Tech he showed that he wasn’t just a good blocker, he was […]
100 Days to Kickoff: George Godsey
After three seasons with Georgia Tech, former offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner moved on to more humid pastures, leaving the opportunity for Georgia Tech football alum and Hall of Famer, George Godsey to return to the Flats. Godsey, will serve as co-offensive coordinator alongside Chris Wienke, another late 90s/early 2000s ACC veteran. He played quarterback for […]

An Update on Chandler Simpson
Every 12U baseball team has the same types of players. There’s the chunky first baseman who hits like Mark McGwire but has the speed and agility of a 70-year-old version of himself. There’s the coach’s son, who hits leadoff and plays shortstop, even though he just flat-out sucks. Then there’s the slap hitter: often undersized, […]

100 Days to Kickoff: Alberto Mendoza
The Jackets have a new face under center this year. His surname is widely known but his personal talent is minimally studied. Alberto Mendoza is a redshirt sophomore from Indiana who spent the last year as signal caller for his older brother, 2025 Heisman Trophy winner, and the overall first pick of the 2026 NFL […]
100 Days to Kickoff: Justice Haynes
There must always be a Haynes on the Flats. Coming to us from Michigan, Justice Haynes is probably the splashiest transfer we’ve ever landed. 247 labels him as the top RB transfer and the #13 overall; as a HS prospect a few years ago he was the #3 RB in the country. After two seasons […]

100 Days to Kickoff: Opponent Primer
With football coming up again it’s a good idea to ease our minds back into where things stand not only for GT but for our upcoming opponents this year. While we have detailed analyses of our opponents coming up later in the year, I set this up to give a brief overview of our upcoming […]
FTRS 100 Days to Kickoff: Season Grading Syllabus
We are within 100 days of kick-off for the first Georgia Tech football game, so it’s time to start talking football again.
