Georgia Tech will leave campus for Saturday night’s game against the North Carolina Tar Heels. The Yellow Jackets are playing the first of six games in six years at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, best known as the home of the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons. Coach Geoff Collins hopes that playing one game a year in the retractable-roof stadium will give a boost to recruiting. The Jackets are 7-18 since Collins took over in 2019 and desperate for a signature win. North Carolina is coming off a huge offensive performance against Virginia. Sam Howell threw five TD passes in a 59-39 victory.
