The 2024 Birmingham Bowl pits Georgia Tech Football against Vanderbilt on Friday, Dec. 27, at Protective Stadium in Birmingham, Ala. The game is a renewal of the historic rivalry between the two teams.
Georgia Tech has earned consecutive bowl berths for the first time since 2013 and 2014 with a 7-5 regular-season record. The Yellow Jackets are seeking to win their second-straight bowl game, which would be a milestone for the program since 2003 and 2004.
Quarterback Haynes King leads the team with 1,910 passing yards, 11 touchdown passes, and only one interception this season. He is part of an elite group of quarterbacks who have achieved this feat in recent years.
This game marks Georgia Tech’s second postseason appearance in Birmingham, following their 1985 win over Michigan State in the Hall of Fame Classic. The Yellow Jackets are seeking to renew their rivalry with Vanderbilt, which they lead in the all-time series 20-15-3.
A historic traveling trophy – a cow bell – has been awarded to the winning team since 1924. Georgia Tech has held possession of the bell since its 13-0 win over Vandy in 1948.
The game is broadcast on ESPN and can be streamed online. For more information, visit [Georgia Tech Athletics website].
