Georgia Holds Off Georgia Tech in Tense Rivalry Clash

The No. 4 Georgia Bulldogs maintained their state rivalry dominance, narrowly defeating the No. 23 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 16-9. This victory marked Georgia's eighth consecutive win in the series, a new record. The game, held at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, saw a low-scoring affair, a stark contrast to last year's eight-overtime thriller.

Nate Frazier led Georgia's offense with 108 rushing yards, while quarterback Gunner Stockton connected with Zachariah Branch for the game's sole touchdown in the second quarter. Despite Georgia Tech's efforts, highlighted by Aidan Birr's three field goals, they could not overcome the deficit. Peyton Woodring contributed three field goals for Georgia, including a crucial 50-yarder in the fourth quarter.

Both teams now face uncertainty regarding their conference championship game appearances. Georgia needs specific outcomes in other games to advance to the SEC championship, while Georgia Tech requires losses from Miami, Virginia, and SMU to reach the ACC championship.
