<P> This series began in 1922 . The Yellow Jackets were a longtime rival of the Fighting Irish and the two teams met periodically on an annual basis over the years , particularly from 1963 to 1981 when both schools were independents following Tech 's departure from the Southeastern Conference . The 1975 Georgia Tech - Notre Dame game marked the sole appearance in an Irish uniform of Rudy Ruettiger , the subject of the film Rudy . When Georgia Tech joined the Atlantic Coast Conference beginning in 1982 , they were forced to end the series after 1981 because of scheduling difficulties . Consequently , the two teams have met very infrequently since then . Georgia Tech was the opponent in the inaugural game in the newly expanded Notre Dame Stadium in 1997 , then a year later they met again in the Gator Bowl . The Fighting Irish and Yellow Jackets met in the 2006 and 2007 season openers and split both games . Notre Dame leads the series 29 -- 6 -- 1 . The rivalry resumed in 2015 with a 30 -- 22 Irish win in South Bend , and will continue on a semi-regular basis thereafter , due to Notre Dame 's current commitment to scheduling several ACC opponents each season . </P>
