The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets have been one of the better stories across college football this season, but coach Brent Key is not letting his players buy into the hype.
Key’s Yellow Jackets are off to a 3-0 start following an upset win over Clemson last Saturday, moving them into the Top 25 for just the second time since 2015. However, Key is a former Nick Saban assistant, and he had his former boss in mind when delivering a stark message to his players about handling their success.

“Coach Saban used to tell us that more people die on the way down from Mount Everest than on the way up. You can’t relax,” Key told reporters Wednesday.
