How they play
Georgia Tech fields a capable pass-first, explosive, big-play offense behind a porous defense.
Percentile vs all FBS, based on this season's per-game production. Bar = where this team ranks — right is better.
Player percentiles
Georgia Tech reads strongest in explosive plays (top 28%) and rushing EPA (top 44%); the crux lives in rushing EPA allowed, where Georgia Tech sits at the 11th percentile.

Defense · higher bar = harder to play against
Hidden math · special situations
Home-field advantage · 2018–present · FBS opponents
Georgia Tech has had no measurable home edge: −0.1 points, home against road.
No measurable home edge, 2nd percentile of 133 programs
44% at home, 39% away against FBS opponents since 2018 (20-25 home, 17-27 away). Interval ±4.1.
The stadium and how the home edge is measured
Our model gives every stadium the same flat 2.3-point home edge. The books use about 3. Per-team versions were tested and did not hold up (why). Against the closing line, Georgia Tech has beaten the number by 7.7 points less at home than away over 96 games. That is outside the ±6.1 that many games can resolve, so this is one of the few buildings where the results say something the flat number does not.
Bobby Dodd Stadium seats 55,000 and has averaged 75% full (41,331, 27 games reported). Visitors cover a median 351 miles to get here since 2018 — 53rd-shortest of 135 FBS venues, inside the ordinary range. For the home side it is genuinely home ground: 51% of the 2026 roster (56 of 109 located players) grew up inside 100 miles of the stadium.
Edge = half the gap between average home margin and average road margin, FBS opponents only, non-neutral games since 2018; the interval is 95%. Market line: closing spread, seasons with lines on file. Trip length is straight-line miles from the visiting team's campus to the venue, measured across all 52 home games since 2018.

Position battles
RB room
The carries are split. The job isn’t.
Justice Haynes and Trelain Maddox split the carries (108/154 vs 46/154) -- but Trelain Maddox leads on every measured axis. This isn't a split role, it's a hierarchy with a change-of-pace back behind it.
WR/TE room
The targets are split. The job isn’t.
Jordan Allen (WR) and Kevin Roche Jr. (TE) split the targets (55/109 vs 54/109) -- but the job isn't split the same way.

Georgia Tech’s 4th-quarter offense, before and after garbage time
Raw Q4 EPA/play ranks 27th percentile in FBS. Strip out snaps taken with a blowout margin and it drops to the 14th — the correction is the finding, not a footnote.
Standard downs vs. passing downs
Does Georgia Tech hold up once the down-and-distance turns against them?
53rd percentile success on standard downs, 40th on passing downs — little dropoff between the two — a schedule-independent identity.

Georgia Tech by half
1st-half offense ranks 28th percentile in FBS; 2nd-half, 71st — competitive snaps only, garbage time excluded from both halves.
How much of Georgia Tech’s number is the schedule?
Raw EPA/play through week 10 is 0.11; 45th percentile once opponent strength is stripped out, it's 0.03. The widest gap came in week 7: 0.18 raw vs. 0.04 adjusted.
Pass defense by zone
What this team throws, and gives up, by depth.
On short throws (≤19 air yards), Georgia Tech’s passing game completes a completion rate above the FBS mean (69.0% vs 67.0% league-wide, shrunk toward the mean for its 241-play sample) — mid-pack, 102 of 136 qualifying offenses.
On short throws (≤19 air yards), Georgia Tech’s defense allows a completion rate below the FBS mean (63.3% vs 66.3% league-wide, shrunk toward the mean for its 161-play sample) — mid-pack, 11 of 137 qualifying defenses.
We won’t show a deep-ball (20+ air yards) leaderboard here, on either side of the ball: even a full season of charted plays gives most teams well under 30 deep attempts — too thin to tell a real tendency from noise, so we won’t guess. Same refusal for yards-after-catch allowed and where a team’s attempts land by zone: both measured and both came back statistically indistinguishable from season-to-season noise.
Havoc & trenches
Disruption, run-blocking, and down-and-distance efficiency.
Turnover luck
The bounces have gone their way on their own fumbles: 69% recovered, vs. ~52% expected.
11 of 16 own fumbles recovered themselves; 4 of 9 forced fumbles recovered, 2026 only.
Takeaways
Deflections without payoff: 9% of disrupted passes intercepted, vs. ~18% league-wide.
2 interceptions of 23 disrupted passes (21 deflected, 2 intercepted), 2026 only.
Penalties
The flags have favored them: 65 penalties drawn on opponents vs. 62 committed, 134 yards to the good.
514 penalty yards committed vs. 648 drawn on opponents, 2026 season total.
