Georgia Tech prepares for Mercer and Stanford matchups

Georgia Tech is scheduled to face the Mercer Bears on September 19 in Atlanta before traveling to play Stanford on September 26. These matchups serve as early-season tests for Georgia Tech following their season opener. Mercer enters the contest under new head coach Joel Taylor, who recently directed the team to a 23-15 victory over East Texas A&M in their season opener. The Bears underwent a significant roster overhaul during the offseason, incorporating dozens of transfers after several key starters departed. Stanford, led by head coach Tavita Pritchard, also faces a period of transition while preparing for its inaugural season in the ACC. The upcoming game in California marks the first time Georgia Tech will visit Stanford, adding a new road component to their schedule.
