Georgia Tech Hosts Temple After ACC Upset Victory

ATLANTA, Ga. — No. 18 Georgia Tech will host Temple at Bobby Dodd Stadium on Saturday, September 20, for a key Week 4 matchup in college football. The Yellow Jackets are fresh off an impressive win against a ranked ACC opponent, soaring in the national rankings.

Coach Brent Key is focused on continuing the team’s positive momentum. “We’ve got to continue to stay the course and continue to improve every day,” Key said. His team upset then-No. 12 last week, establishing themselves as a potential Playoff contender.

Temple arrives to Atlanta looking to bounce back from its first loss of the season, losing 42-3 to last week. The Owls will rely on quarterback Evan Simon, who has thrown nine touchdown passes this season, tied for the most among FBS quarterbacks without an interception.

The game is set to kick off at 4:30 p.m. ET and will be televised on the CW Network. Georgia Tech is making only its second appearance in the AP Top 25 since October 2015. Last week’s win against a ranked team has sparked hopes among fans and players alike.

Georgia Tech’s offense, ranking 45th in scoring with 36.7 points per game, will test Temple’s defense, which has struggled against the run this season. The Yellow Jackets’ ground attack is led by a quarterback who, despite not throwing a touchdown, leads FBS in rushing yards per game

As they prepare for the matchup, Georgia Tech’s coach is aware of the challenges that come with being ranked. Historically, the Yellow Jackets have struggled in games as a ranked team, holding a 9-10 record in such instances.

With both teams looking to establish their identity as the season unfolds, Saturday’s game promises to be a crucial contest. Georgia Tech is eager to maintain its recent success against a Temple team aiming for an upset.
