Georgia Tech has a chance to accomplish something it hasn’t done in three-plus seasons under coach Geoff Collins when it hosts No. 20 Ole Miss on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. — win consecutive games.
The Yellow Jackets have posted three straight three-win seasons since Collins’ arrival prior to the 2019 season. But with an upset of the Rebels (2-0), Georgia Tech will improve to 2-1 having posted back-to-back victories for the first time since winning four straight games from Oct. 25-Nov. 17, 2018 under former coach Paul Johnson.
