The last time the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets won three straight games in Athens, Georgia, the President of the United States was Dwight D. Eisenhower and the head coach of the Yellow Jackets was Bobby Dodd. The namesake of the Yellow Jackets home stadium. That season would be the 1958 season when the Jackets that season went 10-1 including a Gator Bowl victory over Pittsburgh.
On Saturday afternoon, however, Paul Johnson’s 7-4 Yellow Jackets will have the chance to become the first Yellow Jacket team to do so since the days of Bobby Dodd.
For the program, there has only been one close call since.
