Georgia has a record of 10-2 straight up, 3-9 against the spread, and 6-6 over/under the total. Georgia ranks 37th for total offense, 11th for passing, 101st for rushing and 25th for scoring.

Following a 17-0 at halftime deficit, Georgia officially escaped the Georgia Tech Yellowjackets. The two teams went to a two-point conversion showdown and accumulated up to eight overtimes. Accordingly, Georgia got the final answer. Georgia also saved its 30-game home win streak after its big-time comeback. Georgia’s biggest play of the game was on third and one near midfield. To illuminate, Georgia Tech quarterback Haynes King kept the ball and tried to run for the first down. But Georgia safety Dan Jackson made the tackle and forced a fumble that Georgia recovered.
Next, the Dawgs would then go on to tie the game up and send it to overtime. Georgia quarterback Carson Beck finished the game with 297 yards, five touchdowns, and zero interceptions. In comparison, King led the Yellowjackets in both passing with 303 yards and two touchdowns and added another 110 with three rushing touchdowns.
Entering the fourth quarterback, Georgia was down 20-6 with 14:17 left on the clock. Georgia’s offense then scored on three straight possessions to get the job done. Indeed, it was a big-time win for Georgia in miraculous fashion.
Certainly, coming out on the winning side of an instant classic feels good for Georgia. But doing so against your in-state rival on your home field makes winning that much sweeter. While it wasn’t pretty, the Dawgs should not have been in this situation in the first place.
