The Yellow Jackets have shown a mixed bag of performances in their recent games, and this upcoming game is crucial for setting a positive trajectory.
In their last outing, the Yellow Jackets edged out a narrow victory with 28 points against the Wolfpack's 26.

However, it's important to note that despite these fluctuations, there are positive signs from the team's statistics.
Against Virginia Tech Hokies, Georgia Tech struggled offensively with only 99 total yards and two turnovers. Their defense managed one sack but couldn't prevent the Hokies from scoring 45 points. The following week saw improvement when they faced Virginia Cavaliers; although they lost by five points, their offense showed life with four touchdowns and an impressive average gain of nearly seven yards per play.
The most recent game before facing North Carolina State was against Pittsburgh Panthers where Georgia Tech scored ten points to Pittsburgh's twenty. Despite losing, there were defensive highlights including two interceptions and one forced fumble recovery.
Georgia Tech will need to capitalize on their home-field advantage at Bobby Dodd Stadium—a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere which could play into their hands. Consistency on both sides of the ball will be key if they are going to come out on top against North Carolina State.
