In just four seasons, Brent Key has completely changed the direction of Georgia Tech football. Since taking over from Geoff Collins in 2022, Key has rebuilt the program’s confidence, toughness, and consistency. Now, the Yellow Jackets head into Carter-Finley Stadium ranked No. 8 in the nation — their highest mark in years.
This week’s matchup at N.C. State carries major stakes. Georgia Tech (8–0, 5–0 ACC) sits atop the conference standings and controls its path to the ACC Championship Game. To stay there, they’ll need to avoid a letdown in Raleigh.
“We’re going into an environment that’s going to be extremely challenging,” Key said earlier this week.
