What the news says about this game

Both teams arrive at 1-2, but Georgia Tech holds momentum after a 44-11 rout of Mercer on Sept. 19, while Stanford was dominated 35-7 by Duke the same day. GT's offense showed life with Justice Haynes scoring three touchdowns, suggesting improved production. Stanford's collapse raises fundamental questions about the Cardinal. Both squads are far outside playoff contention. The key variable is whether GT cornerback Jaylen Mbakwe will be available after being stretchered off against Tennessee on Sept. 13; he was released from the hospital that day, but his status remains unclear.
