ATLANTA — Georgia Tech will try to send the seniors out in style when it finally plays the last game of the season at Bobby Dodd Stadium.

Of course, in this most unusual of years, there’s a chance they could return in 2021.

The NCAA has granted athletes an extra year of eligibility because of the coronavirus pandemic, adding another level of uncertainty to a season filled with all sorts of twists and turns.

“I’m really just focusing on finishing out the season strong,” said Yellow Jackets defensive lineman Djimon Brooks, a fifth-year senior. “I’ll get a chance to sit down and talk with the coaches and my parents after the season.”

Georgia Tech (3-6, 3-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) will host Pittsburgh (5-5, 4-5) on Thursday night in a game that was supposed to be held Nov. 14, only to be postponed because of the pandemic.

“It’s one day at a time,” Pittsburgh coach Pat Narduzzi said. “If you go through a good day, you’re like, `Man, we got through a good day.’ You know tomorrow there’s going to be something that hits you square in the mouth.”

Win or lose its final regular-season game, Pittsburgh is likely in the mix for a bowl spot after the NCAA waived the six-victory threshold.
