The Yellow Jackets are taking on the Gardner-Webb Runnin’ Bulldogs at Bobby Dodd Stadium.

Fans are being asked to leave the seating area and take shelter in a covered area as storms move through metro Atlanta.

Over in Athens, the Georgia Bulldogs match-up with the Austin Peay Governors was moved up an hour due to the possibility of inclement weather.

Last week, Georgia Tech kicked off their season with an upset, last-minute win over Colorado.
