ATLANTA — Three September home games and two nationally televised weeknight road contests in October highlight Georgia Tech’s 2018 football schedule, which was announced by the Atlantic Coast Conference on Wednesday.
Georgia Tech’s 2018 slate is balanced with six home games at Bobby Dodd Stadium and six road contests.
The Yellow Jackets’ home schedule is comprised entirely of Saturday dates versus Alcorn State (Sept. 1), Clemson (Sept. 22), Bowling Green (Sept. 29), Duke (Oct. 13), Miami (Nov. 10) and Virginia (Nov. 17).
