The Yellow Jackets' 7-6 record included a perfect 5-0 home record at Bobby Dodd Stadium. The program hadn't accomplished that since 1999 during Coach Brent Key's playing days.
The perfect home record included a win over then-No. 4 Miami. You can see the final score etched inside the ring along with Georgia Tech's win over Florida State to open the season.
Georgia Tech finished the season with an appearance in the Birmingham Bowl, where it lost to Vanderbilt.
The Yellow Jackets kick off the 2025 season on the road against Colorado on Aug. 30 and open their home schedule against Gardner-Webb on Sept. 6.

Georgia Tech breaks student season ticket sales record for Yellow Jackets football home games
Georgia Tech students have set a new record by purchasing 6,164 student season tickets for the 2025 Yellow Jackets football home games, surpassing last year's record of 5,939 tickets. The unprecedented demand for student season tickets has left fewer than 900 tickets available in the south student sections of Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field. Georgia Tech athletics expects to reach a sellout of the 7,000-ticket allotment soon and is exploring ways to accommodate additional student demand. Georgia Tech's football team has had consecutive winning seasons for the first time in a decade, which may be driving the increased demand. The team returns five all-ACC honorees, including all-America offensive lineman Keylan Rutledge. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Other key players returning for the 2025 season include all-ACC selections defensive tackle Jordan van den Berg, linebacker Kyle Efford, running back Jamal Haynes, and wide receiver Malik Rutherford.

The Yellow Jackets will kick off their 2025 season on August 29 at Colorado, with their home opener against Gardner-Webb scheduled for September 6. The highly anticipated ACC opener against Clemson will follow on September 13.
