Tennessee faces Georgia Tech in Atlanta for first time since 2017

Tennessee meets Georgia Tech on September 12 at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta for a Week 2 college football matchup. This game marks the first time the programs have played since their 2017 season opener at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. That previous encounter featured a Tennessee sideline prop consisting of a trash can used to celebrate turnovers. Tennessee currently holds a 1-0 record following a victory over Furman, while Georgia Tech enters the contest at 0-1. Head coaches Josh Heupel and Brent Key have both led their respective programs to recent periods of stability, following turbulent years for both schools. Tennessee did not record any turnovers in its season opener, though the team may introduce a new sideline celebration prop if the defense produces takeaways against the Yellow Jackets.
