Social media reacts to Georgia’s 8OT win vs. Georgia Tech

UGA football fans can’t believe Georgia’s miracle win over Georgia Tech

Georgia Bulldogs fans enjoyed one of the most memorable games in Sanford Stadium history in Georgia’s 44-42 overtime win over the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Georgia overcame a 17-point deficit to defeat Georgia Tech. It only took Georgia eight overtimes to beat Georgia Tech, which made Georgia’s win the second longest game in college football history.

Georgia’s win was not pretty. The Yellow Jackets came to play and gave the Georgia defense fits all night. Georgia Tech quarterback Haynes King finished the day with 413 total yards and five total touchdowns.

Georgia never held a lead in regulation and went just two of seven on two-point attempts. The Bulldogs never gave up. UGA’s offense mounted several clutch drives in the fourth quarter to stay in the game. Carson Beck threw for 297 passing yards and five touchdowns.

How did Georgia football fans and media react to UGA’s stunning win over Georgia Tech?

“Georgia had six points through three quarters and won 44-42. I’ll never understand it,” said Benjamin Wolk.

“The best in Georgia play at Georgia!!,” said Georgia staffer James Ellis.

“It was fun when we were all Georgia Tech fans for a couple of hours,” said one fan on social media.

“The Georgia senior class will leave Athens without ever having lost to Florida, Georgia Tech, Tennessee and Auburn,” said Radi Nabulsi via social media.

Top photos from Georgia’s win over Georgia Tech

Let’s take a look at the best photos from the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at Georgia Bulldogs football game

Georgia football got off to a slow start in the Bulldogs’ 37-14 win over in-state rival Georgia Tech. Georgia has finished consecutive regular seasons undefeated for the first time in school history.

Stetson Bennett threw two touchdown passes, but did not pass for a lot of yardage in Georgia’s home win. Brock Bowers had a big touchdown catch. The Georgia defense shut down Georgia Tech after allowing a first quarter touchdown.

Georgia has won 27 consecutive regular season games dating back to 2020. The Bulldogs have more big games to play including the SEC championship.

Here’s a look at the top photos from the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at Georgia Bulldogs football game.

Georgia finishes another season undefeated after beating Tech

The Georgia Bulldogs have finished consecutive regular seasons undefeated for the first time in school history.

The Georgia Bulldogs have finished consecutive regular seasons undefeated for the first time in school history. Georgia got off to a slow start in the Dawgs’ 37-14 win over Georgia Tech.

The Bulldogs held a narrow 10-7 lead at halftime. Georgia turned it around in the second half thanks to a strong rushing attack and a few Georgia Tech miscues.

Tight end Brock Bowers made a clutch catch on forth down in the third quarter to help Georgia open up a large lead. Bowers caught the ball, which was underthrown, inches from the ground.

Georgia outscored Georgia Tech 27-7 in the second half. The Bulldogs settled for a few too many field goals and could have had better execution in the red zone.

Georgia’s passing attack was disappointing in the home victory. The Dawgs passed for only 138 yards against Georgia Tech. Stetson Bennett completed 10 of 18 passes for 135 yards. He threw two touchdown passes. Georgia’s offense finished with 268 rushing yards.

Georgia’s passing game needs to step up in the SEC championship game against LSU.

Defensively, Georgia recovered after allowing an early rushing touchdown to Georgia Tech. The Dawgs sacked the Yellow Jackets four times.

Georgia football QB Jake Fromm finds freshman WR George Pickens for a 41 yarder

In the third quarter of Georgia’s game vs Georgia Tech, Jake Fromm found freshman wide receiver George Pickens for a 41 yard touchdown to extend the Dawgs lead to 31-7.

This came after Pickens was sidelined for the first half of the game with what Kirby Smart described as a “team matter.”

Why Georgia football cannot overlook Georgia Tech

If there’s one goal Georgia Tech has left for the 2019 regular season, it is to disrupt the 2019 postseason of their most hated rivals.

The stage is set for the SEC Championship Game. Regardless if either team loses in the final week of the regular season, Eastern Division champion Georgia will face Western Division champion Louisiana State on December 7th at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

For undefeated LSU, there is a slight possibility that a single loss in a conference championship game could keep them in the final spot of the College Football Playoff given their tiebreaker with Alabama, which sits at No. 5 in the playoff picture.

The margin of error is much smaller for Kirby Smart’s Georgia Bulldogs, who suffered their lone loss in overtime against a South Carolina squad currently posting a record of four wins and seven losses.

A week before the Dawgs play the Tigers in Altanta, they’ll make a trip to Bobby Dodd Stadium, under two miles away from their next destination.

Georgia Tech hosts Georgia sporting three wins and eight losses. In their first season removed from Paul Johnson’s option-based flexbone offense, the Yellow Jackets have struggled to effectively utilize tight ends and single set backs under new head coach Geoff Collins.

Though the two teams have shared no common opponents this season, Georgia is currently favored at one of the highest margins of victory in the history of Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate.

Georgia Tech isn’t bowl eligible while Georgia needs to win out to appear in the College Football Playoff. If there’s one goal the Yellow Jackets have left for the 2019 regular season, it is to disrupt the 2019 postseason of their most hated rivals.

The Bulldogs cannot afford to look forward to LSU if they wish to keep their playoff hopes alive for one more week.

Report: Georgia football WR Lawrence Cager suffers injury in practice

Georgia WR Lawrence Cager suffered a lower-body injury in practice on Wednesday according to a report from Dean Legge of DawgPost.

Georgia wide receiver Lawrence Cager suffered a lower-body injury in practice on Wednesday, according to a report from Dean Legge of DawgPost.

Cager is no stranger to injuries this season, having appeared sporadically in recent contests due to lingering shoulder injuries.

Per Legge, the graduate transfer out of The University of Miami is doubtful for the 2019 edition of “Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate” held in Atlanta. Head coach Kirby Smart isn’t due for a media appearance until after the game at Georgia Tech and UGA officials have yet to confirm whether Cager was hurt.

The Bulldogs and Yellow Jackets are set to kick off at noon.

This Saturday, No. 4 Georgia (10-1) will be playing Georgia Tech (3-8) in Atlanta for its final regular season game of the 2019 season.

The Bulldogs opened as 28.5 point favorites over the Yellow Jackets, according to BetMGM. The over/under has been set at 46.5.

This will be the 113th meeting between the two in the rivalry known as Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate. Georgia has beaten its little brother in 15 of the last 18 outings (Tech’s only three wins were by one point, six points in overtime and three points).

Makes you wonder why we still hear from them each offseason. If they were so smart you’d think they’d be better at picking their battles.

It’s looking like another Georgia win is coming. The Jackets are 3-8, but for some reason incredibly confident right now after beating a 4-7 NC State team by two points.

Georgia has only beaten three teams by 29 or more points this season – Murray State, Arkansas State and Tennessee. Georgia Tech is bad, probably about and bad as Tennessee was at the time of that game, but the Dawgs just have not been blowing teams out this season.

Rivalry week: How UGA vs Georgia Tech ticket prices stack up to the rest of CFB

A look at UGA vs Georgia Tech ticket prices compared to the rest of college football this rivalry week. Plus looking the SEC Championship.

It’s the final weekend of the college football regular season. Wow…how sad is that?

Very sad is the answer to that question, but on the bright side we are in for a good day of college football.

Alabama vs Auburn and Ohio State vs Michigan headline what will be an exciting Saturday. Additionally, fans will also be able to enjoy a ranked matchup between Wisconsin and Minnesota plus Oklahoma and Oklahoma State.

With the Dawgs playing LSU in the SEC Championship the following weekend, I’m looking forward to watching how the Tigers handle Texas A&M, which Georgia struggled against last weekend.

Speaking of the SEC Championship, currently, the get-in price for the conference title game is $341 and the average is now $995. The get-in price has only dropped just over 2% in the last week, but the average list price has gone down 23% over that same time frame. I’d be curious to see what would happen to those prices if LSU were to lose this weekend seeing as how it would then be a win-or-go-home battle for both teams.

As for this weekend, Georgia fans’ wallets will get a bit of a break if they want to see the Dawgs take on Georgia Tech in Atlanta. Currently, Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate is the weekend’s ninth most expensive game, with a get-in price of $98. For Georgia fans, that’s not too bad; for Tech fans, this is the Yellow Jackets’s most expensive game of the season.

Minnesota at Wisconsin claims the title of most expensive ticket this weekend with tickets starting $257, followed by the Iron Bowl at $165.

The Georgia Bulldogs will travel to Georgia Tech for a noon kickoff on Saturday, November 30th. The Dawgs will look to continue bullying the Yellow Jackets in Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate. The game in Atlanta will be televised on ABC.

Georgia will likely come into the game with their College Football Playoff hopes on the line. The Bulldogs are currently 9-1 and ranked forth in the country. On the other end of the spectrum are the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.

The Yellow Jackets are 2-8 and just lost to Virginia Tech 45-0. Georgia Tech is transitioning out of the triple option, which has been a struggle including: a 24-2 loss to Temple and a 27-24 loss to the Citadel. Tech was able to knock off Miami and South Florida, but that won’t exactly strike fear into Kirby Smart, Jake Fromm, and the Bulldogs.

Below are the game times for the rest of the SEC on rivalry week:

It should be another interesting rivalry week this year. Alabama against Auburn has to be the SEC’s best game in rivalry week. Will Texas A&M at LSU go to seven overtimes again?
