[1] On December 7, Temple head coach Geoff Collins, a former grad assistant and recruiting coordinator for Georgia Tech, was named Johnson's successor.

[10] Quarterback Blake Barnett of South Florida, formerly the #1 recruit out of high school and transfer from Alabama and Arizona State University rushed and passed for two touchdowns each as USF erased a 10-point deficit late in the 4th quarter to hand Georgia Tech its first loss of the season.

[11] Coming off a stinging loss to Penn State the week before, the Pitt defense rebounded mightily holding Tech to only 386 total yards.

"[12] Georgia Tech completed just three passes and was held to 146 yards on the ground, nowhere near its nation-high rushing average of 392.7 coming into the game.

[15] Duke's quarterback Daniel Jones converted three Georgia Tech fumbles late in the 3rd quarter for three touchdowns all in a span of about 3 minutes.

Duke Coach David Cutcliffe stated that his squad's preparation to handle Tech's spread option offense starts every spring pre-season.

[18] Georgia Tech came out on top in what ended up being an atypical game with Miami that included a fumbled kickoff return, a muffed punt, and less than 110 combined plays.

Not so expected was the low, rugby-style kick that never reached 10 feet from the ground, but was able to contact Tech's Nathan Cottrell, who was running down the field to block for the returner.

Miami quickly jumped on the ball and was given a renewed set of downs, which they turned into a touchdown to make the score 17–14 Tech shortly before half time.

Georgia Tech was then able to close out the game by converting 3 3rd downs, including an impressive 22-yard pass to Jalen Camp, and an 11-yard run from Jerry Howard.

Virginia, backed up on its own 1 after a punt, had its quarterback Bryce Perkins take a snap in the end zone and rolled left to throw, only to be grabbed by Georgia Tech's Brant Mitchell and finished off by 325-pound nose tackle Brandon Adams for a safety.

After several lead changes, Georgia Tech's Brad Stewart caught the only pass of the game for the Yellow Jackets on a 3rd down to extend the drive and set up a field goal by Wesley Wells to go ahead late in the 4th quarter.

[19] Georgia Tech came in to Athens, GA defending a 2-game win streak in the home of the Bulldogs, but were limited to a season low in rushing yards.

The victory, combined with a #4 ranked Michigan loss to Ohio State propelled Georgia into #4 in the country heading into the 2018 SEC Championship Game against Alabama.
