Who are the announcers and referees for Georgia Tech vs Vanderbilt today?

For the last time in 2024, it’s game day for Georgia Tech.

This is a matchup that has some history. Georgia Tech leads the all-time series with Vandy 20-15 and has won six straight in the series and 12 of the last 13. The last meeting between the schools was in 2016 in Atlanta, a 38-7 victory for Georgia Tech. Vanderbilt has not beaten the Yellow Jackets since 1941. The two teams tied 10-10 in a matchup in Nashville in 1965. This will allow Georgia Tech to add to its success against Vanderbilt, which has had a very good season under Clark Lea. The Commodores started the season with a big upset over Virginia Tech, and of course, the signature win against No. 1 Alabama (a week after the Crimson Tide beat Georgia). Vandy also picked up wins against Kentucky and Auburn, as well as close losses to Texas and LSU.

Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt were conference mates for 48 years – in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (1916-21), the Southern Conference (1922-32) and the Southeastern Conference (1933-63). Their rivalry spawned a traveling trophy – a cowbell – that has been awarded to the winning team since 1924. Tech has had the bell since its 13-0 victory over Vandy in 1948

This season, Tech and Vanderbilt are among the 14 unranked teams to knock off top-10 opponents, with the Jackets beating No. 1 Florida State. 10 on 24 August and no. 4 Miami (Fla.) on Nov. 9, and the Commodores take down the No. 1 at Alabama on October 5th.

The Yellow Jackets are playing in a bowl game for the second consecutive season, the first since 2013-2014. They faced UCF in last year’s Gasparilla Bowl and won 30-17 in Tampa Bay. This year, Georgia Tech has played one of the toughest schedules in the entire country to reach seven wins and wins over No. 10 Florida State and no. 4 Miami, and took eventual SEC champion Georgia to eight overtimes in the final game of the season. Brent Key is 18-15 heading into his second bowl game, and it’s another chance for him to get a big win over an SEC opponent and continue to elevate his program.
