It’s safe to say last season on December 31st, 2016 that the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets were expected to lose to the North Carolina Tar Heels. The Jackets were picked to be one of the worst teams in all of the country and it was questioned if they would even win an ACC conference game.
Despite the odds against them, however, the Jackets were able to duel it out with the Tar Heels and walked away from the game with a victory. It was the first upset last year of three over ranked opponents that the Yellow Jackets pulled off, all coming at home.
