Much-Needed Bye Week

Georgia Tech will be on a bye week this upcoming week and will play Virginia Tech in a few weeks at home. The betting lines for that game haven’t come out yet via Fanduel Sportsbook. However, going forward, Georgia Tech should be favored in the remaining games except when they play Georgia on Black Friday.

Head coach Brent Key said it best about the upcoming bye week and how much the team needs it to recharge and refocus on the goals they have for the season. Georgia Tech will look to iron out the kinks and play the football they are capable of, which can lead to bigger things down the road.

“Yes. Yes. We've got to recharge. We've got to mentally get ourselves back and ready to go. You know, the physical part, yes, everyone, you know, thinks about the physical part, but the mental grind of it, you know, as it starts to mount, as the season starts to mount,” said Key. “So, yeah, it could come at a better time. I'm very excited, you know, very, very fortunate we are as a team, but also really happy and excited that we're able to come out of this with a win and finish off that first part of the season. We're in the endurance phase now of the season. We're in that endurance phase.”

“Everybody comes out of the gate sprinting. In the last third of the season, you see the finish line. But this middle part, that's the endurance phase. Endurance doesn't mean taking it easy. It doesn't mean coasting through it. Endurance is that you're out in the middle of the ocean, you swim all the way out there, and now you turn around, and it's just as far to go back, and you can't see either side. That's endurance now. We've got to have that for the next four or five weeks. Then we get into that final sprint towards the end. There's a big test of our identity as a football team today. We talked about that prior. We all just saw last night how quickly it can disappear. I'm proud of these guys for the way they played the second half and the way they finished the game.”

Georgia Tech will refocus and take the bye as a chance to get right for the rest of the season and the critical middle part of the season.
