CLEMSON, S.C. – Georgia Tech hits the road to battle its second top-10 opponent this season when the Yellow Jackets face sixth-ranked Clemson on Saturday. The Yellow Jackets lead the all-time series 51-27-2 and have won five of the eight meetings under head coach Paul Johnson.

The game is live on ABC/ESPN2, and can be heard on the Georgia Tech IMG Sports Network, locally on 680 The Fan and 93.7 FM, as well as the Georgia Tech Gameday App.

• Tech is tied for fifth nationally in Red Zone touchdown percentage (83.3%) and the Jackets’ 20 touchdowns in the Red Zone are fourth-most in the FBS behind Memphis (23), TCU (22) and NC State (21).
• Through five games, Georgia Tech remains the least penalized team in the nation. The Yellow Jackets have been yellow flagged just 11 times for 98 yards — both FBS lows.
