Georgia Tech vs Florida State: A Rivalry Renewed




The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and the Florida State Seminoles are two of the most storied programs in college football. The two schools have met 58 times on the gridiron, with Florida State holding a 35-22-1 record in the series. The rivalry was at its peak in the 1990s and early 2000s, when both teams were consistently ranked among the nation's best.

In recent years, the rivalry has somewhat cooled off, as Florida State has struggled to maintain its dominance. However, the two teams are still scheduled to meet every year, and the game always generates a lot of excitement, even thought the result in the recent past is easy to guess.

For Florida State fans, "conquering Bobby Dodd" and spoiling a day where Atlanta is awash in garnet and gold is a sought-after victory. For Georgia Tech fans, it's a chance to show that they can compete with the big boys and continue to establish themselves as one of the ACC's up-and-coming teams.

The 2023 edition of the Georgia Tech-Florida State rivalry game will be played on Saturday, September 16th at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. The game will be televised on ESPN at 3:30 pm ET.

Here are a few things to watch for in the game:

  • Can Georgia Tech's offense keep up with Florida State's? The Yellow Jackets have a lot of talent on offense, but they will need to be at their best to keep up with the Seminoles' high-powered attack.
  • Can Florida State's defense stop Georgia Tech's running game? The Yellow Jackets have one of the best running backs in the country in Hassan Hall. The Seminoles will need to find a way to slow him down if they want to win the game.
  • Who will win the turnover battle? Turnovers can be the difference between winning and losing in any game, but they are especially important in rivalry games. The team that wins the turnover battle will have a big advantage in this game.

The Georgia Tech-Florida State rivalry is one of the most passionate in college football. The two teams always play each other tough, and the games are always exciting. The 2023 edition of the rivalry game is sure to be another classic, and I can't wait to see what happens. Go Jackets.
