This game marked the final competition of the 2001 football season for both teams, resulting in a 24–14 upset victory for Georgia Tech over the 11th-ranked Stanford team. The game was played at Safeco Field because Qwest Field had not yet been completed. Coaches Georgia Tech's interim coach, Mac McWhorter, led the team in his only game as head coach, filling in for George O'Leary, who had announced his resignation to take the same position at Notre Dame. However, due to a controversy surrounding O'Leary's resume, Tyrone Willingham, McWhorter's counterpart in the Seattle Bowl, ironically ended up as the new Notre Dame coach. As a result, this edition of the Seattle Bowl was Willingham's final game as Stanford's head coach.
