It’s game day, and the Yellow Jackets have another opportunity ahead of them when they go on the road to face Boston College. Georgia Tech will look to keep pace and stay atop the ACC conference. With a chaotic weekend last weekend that saw Virginia and Louisville fall, Georgia Tech controls its own destiny and has a greater chance to make the ACC title game. It starts with handling business on the road. A good sign is that they are fully healthy and have all of their guys back and available to go in Boston.
“Ready for the injury report? All right, out. Will Benton. That’s it. There is no questionable. There is no probable. Everyone is ready to rock and roll. That’s good news. Yeah, really good news. I just want to, again, I know I’ve said it before earlier in the season, but our training staff, the job they do in the training room, Brad Kimball, and everyone in there. Outstanding job of having these guys ready to play week in and week out without compromising the health and safety of the players,” said head coach Brent Key. “A lot of that goes back to the weight room, also, what AJ and his guys have been able to do. Erin (Wesolowski) in nutrition keeps these guys not only fed, but fed the right way, hydrated. The little soft tissue things. The work that Pat Boyle and Jordan Diaz, Sean (Boyle), and all those guys do in putting together the sports science part, the scientific part of it, the data into how we practice and prepare. Can’t say enough for that group of people and the job they do. Really, everybody for allowing us to be able to make such a heavy commitment to that over the last three years.”
Let’s take a look at how to watch and listen to the game on Saturday.

A key theme in preparation for the matchup against Boston College has been not only containing the edge but setting the edge. Not allowing the Eagles to get to the outside and get large chunks. Georgia Tech will be tasked with slowing down Dylan Lonergan and Turbo Richard in the running game. Their defensive ends will be tasked with the job of setting the edge and not letting Boston College have a big game on the ground. Georgia Tech has struggled this season in slowing down teams in the run. They are hoping to avoid that on Saturday. Head coach Brent Key talked about how to properly set the edge and what needs to happen in those instances.
“Look, there are two ways. People talk about having contain. Who’s got contain in the defense? Well, if I’m standing here and Simmons over there, all right, I’ve contained that. I’m also containing it if I’m way over there. I’m also containing it from right there, but when you set the edge, you are eliminating space. They’re an A-Gap run team. They’re a power, counter, duo, those are A-Gap plays. But they’re A plays that can bounce. Those plays, the support gets sucked in on the edge, and you’re running duo, that play can, it hits A, they’re the mic, bounce, bounce, all of a you’re out there with nobody to bring them down,” said Key.
“Setting that edge is gonna be really important. It’s gonna be like team running out at practice every day because that’s who we are as an offense. As far as the, you know, the pull game, the gap schemes. So it’s got to be with violence. It’s got to be with great pad level. They gotta trust their preparation and trust what they see, not let the eye candy or different things, whether it be jet motion, whether it be a rock back, whatever it is, whether it be a read scheme, it doesn’t matter. They gotta trust their preparation, trust their eyes, and come out and set that thing with violence.”
If Georgia Tech can set the edge and play at a high level defensively, then they should be just fine and able to come out with a victory.

Investigators identified Tyler Brown of Boston as the man who allegedly opened fire on Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Massachusetts, leaving two victims with life-threatening injuries.
Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan said Brown fired 50 to 60 shots on the busy road shortly after 1 p.m. Monday.
Two male victims were hit in vehicles, Ryan said. They are in critical condition and fighting for their lives.
A Massachusetts State Police trooper and a civilian with a license to carry a firearm went toward the gunman and fired their weapons at him. Officers treated Brown at the scene, and he was brought to a Boston hospital, where he is in intensive care, according to the district attorney.

This video shared with NBC10 Boston appears to show a man opening fire at cars on Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on Monday, May 11, 2026.
Authorities have, so far, shared limited information about the suspect.
“Mr. Brown is from Boston, and apparently was in the process of moving here. We understand that Mr. Brown was under the supervision of either the Massachusetts Probation Department or Department of Parole,” Ryan said.
She did not elaborate on why Brown may have been on probation or parole.
“We will address Mr. Brown’s criminal record, if any, at the arraignment,” she said.

Ryan added that she did not know enough about Brown’s condition to say whether he would be arraigned in court or in a hospital bed. The timing was also not clear.
He will face two counts of armed assault with intent to murder and firearms charges, and “a variety of other charges as we unfold what took place, exactly, and we have a chance to speak to the many, many people who were out there,” Ryan said.
An inbound stretch of Storrow Drive and Soldiers Field Road will be closed each night through August for tunnel repairs, officials announced.
Starting Monday, the closures will begin at 8 p.m. and last until 5 a.m., state officials said.
Road closures begin at North Harvard Street in Allston and stretch along the Charles River Esplanade to Mugar Way in Boston, near the Hatch Memorial Shell, officials said.
Traffic will be detoured into Cambridge over the Anderson Bridge, along Memorial Drive, and then be routed into Boston over the Longfellow Bridge.

The closures will allow ongoing repairs to the Storrow Drive Tunnel in the Back Bay.The work is the first phase of a two-stage project to extend the lifespan of the tunnel, which carries roughly 50,000 drivers to and from downtown Boston daily.
The outbound portion of the tunnel and accompanying roadways will not be affected.
State transportation officials said changes to the work schedule will be made when necessary to minimize impacts during major local events at TD Garden, Fenway Park, or during the FIFA World Cup and 250th anniversary celebrations scheduled for this summer.
Additional changes may be made without notice due to weather.
Transportation officials have not specified when the closures will end.
