Georgia Tech prepares for matchup against Tennessee in primetime clash

Georgia Tech is set to host the Tennessee Volunteers on August 14 in a highly anticipated SEC vs. ACC night game. Both teams are entering the 2026 season with new faces and uncertainties, particularly at the quarterback position for Tennessee. The Volunteers lost their starting QB from last season and are evaluating redshirt freshman George MacIntyre and true freshman Faizon Brandon for the role. Tennessee also welcomes Jim Knowles as their new defensive coordinator after a disappointing defensive performance in 2025. This matchup will be a significant test for both teams as they look to make a statement early in the season.
