The Yellow Jackets have a chance to do something for the first time in seven decades.
The 2025 No. 17 Georgia Tech football team is on the verge of making history. At 5-0, the Yellow Jackets are enjoying their best start in decades and now have a shot at something not seen in more than 70 years — a 6-0 opening. The last time Tech began a season with six straight victories was 1952, a year remembered as one of the program’s greatest.
Head coach Brent Key has instilled belief throughout the roster, and quarterback Haynes King continues to guide the offense with steadiness and confidence, providing the stability the Jackets have long lacked. With a bye week to regroup, Georgia Tech will return to Bobby Dodd Stadium on October 11 for a pivotal matchup against Virginia Tech.
Bobby Dodd atmosphere
Bobby Dodd Stadium is set to host a charged atmosphere, with fans fully aware of the stakes and the rarity of this chance. For a program long in search of consistency and momentum, a victory to reach 6-0 would represent a defining milestone.
Georgia Tech has been on the brink before, only to come up short. The famed 1990 national championship team went unbeaten until game six, which ended in a tie. In 2014, the Jackets again started 5-0 but fell to Duke in their sixth contest. Both campaigns remain memorable, yet the elusive 6-0 start has continued to slip away.
Now, the opportunity has returned. If the Yellow Jackets can take down Virginia Tech, they’ll not only make history but also remind their fans of what becomes possible when tradition and momentum align.
