Tech fans can rejoice; the first football game of the season is right around the corner. The home game will feature the Alcorn State Braves at Bobby Dodd in a competition that will provide the long-awaited unveiling of Nate Woody’s new defensive scheme. Furthermore, the non-conference game will be the first time that the Jackets will play in the new Adidas uniforms.
The last time the Jackets and Braves competed was in 2015, where the Jackets won handily at home, 69-6. The Jackets have never lost to an FCS opponent and it seems unlikely that they would break that trend this year, even with the changes to the defensive formation and coaching staff.
