Coach Brent Key urges Georgia Tech to 'embrace the challenge' after 0-2 start
Key says Georgia Tech must reset after two losses and a 62% roster turnover as it prepares for a winnable game against Mercer.
- Georgia Tech hosts Mercer in Atlanta on Saturday, seeking their first win after an 0-2 start, as head coach Brent Key hopes to avoid the program's first 0-3 start since 1989.
- With 62% turnover on the roster, Key is managing the transition from quarterback Haynes King to new starter Alberto Mendoza as the Yellow Jackets adjust to a new offensive identity.
- Following the 45-24 loss to Tennessee last Saturday, the defense surrendered 299 rushing yards, with Key citing missed tackles on explosive runs as a critical failure for the unit.
- Mercer coach Joel Taylor expects a challenge this week, stating, "The message is to move on," while Key told his team, "goal this week is to go 1-0" against the Bears.
- The team must secure wins against upcoming Atlantic Coast Conference opponents to salvage postseason hopes, as national projections remain skeptical about a bowl game appearance for the Yellow Jackets.
