Georgia Tech (5-2) will turn to third-year sophomore Zach Pyron against the Irish. Pyron has started 2 previous games throughout his career. The vast majority of his game reps came in 2022, when he threw 82 times for 565 yards and 3 scores with 3 picks. He has thrown 15 total passes for 85 yards since.

No. 12 Notre Dame, which must overcome the loss of star cornerback Benjamin Morrison to a season-ending hip injury, will put a four-game winning streak on the line at Georgia Tech. The status of Yellow Jackets starting quarterback Haynes King is uncertain after he left last week's win at North Carolina with a right arm or shoulder injury.

Georgia Tech will have to make a change at quarterback. Haynes King is suffering from an upper-body injury, and he won’t be good to go against Notre Dame this weekend. Instead, Zach Pyron will start in place of the injured King against the 12th-ranked Fighting Irish.
