Georgia vs. Georgia Tech: Gameday Central
ATLANTA, Ga. — It’s been a busy week, but it comes to a close Saturday night in Atlanta as Georgia takes on Georgia Tech at Bobby Dodd Stadium. The Bulldogs enter at 11-0 and winners of 28 straight, looking to set an all-time SEC record tonight with their 29th consecutive victory. Meanwhile, the Yellow Jackets are bowl eligible for the first time since 2018 in just their first full season under the direction of Brent Key. Needless to say, this 117th meeting of “Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate” has the makings of a great one.
“We’re onto Georgia Tech and excited for the prep. I love rivalry week across the country. What makes college football really special to me is all the rivalries you get to watch on this week. A very unique week timing-wise, a lot of distractions with Thanksgiving going on. Those are good distractions, but they are different. How you manage that and how you deal with that is important,” Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said on Monday to open the week.
“A lot of respect for Brent Key and his staff,” he continued. “I’ve known Brent a long time. He played at Tech when I played here. His staff does a great job. Obviously, there’s several guys on his staff that we have worked with before, a lot of overlap. I think we’re both very grateful for a state of high school football in Georgia that provides both of us with a lot of really good football players. He’s done a tremendous job this year. Buster (Faulker’s) done a tremendous job for them, and Kevin (Sherrer) taking over the defense kind of midstream there, he’s done a really good job.”
Kickoff time is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC. Georgia has won 18 of the last 21 in the rivalry including five in a row. The Bulldogs have not lost in Atlanta since 1999, and Vegas doesn’t expect it to happen today either with a line set at UGA -24.
