Georgia and Georgia Tech has long been one of college football’s best rivalries, with a moniker, ‘Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate,’ that appropriately sums up the feeling between the in-state foes.

The latest edition of a rivalry dating all the way back to 1893 will come with more stakes than normal.

The No. 4 Bulldogs and No. 19 Yellow Jackets (No. 23 in the College Football Playoff rankings) will square off for the 119th time on Friday, Nov. 28 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta in Week 14, with both teams still within reach of some of their biggest goals.

At 10-1, Georgia is likely in the playoff field regardless of Friday’s result, though a win would remove whatever doubt there is. After a 42-28 loss in Week 13 to Pitt, Georgia Tech has a much narrower path into the 12-team field, as it would need several upsets — including Cal over No. 25 SMU and Virginia Tech over No. 17 Virginia — to make it into the ACC championship game.

The Bulldogs have won the past seven games in the series against the Yellow Jackets, including an eight-overtime thriller last year in Athens, Georgia.

Second quarter: Georgia 10, Georgia Tech 3

Gunner Stockton TD pass puts Georgia in front

After some early stumbles, Georgia has its first lead of the game. The Bulldogs take advantage of the excellent starting field position, going 55 yards in nine plays. The drive is capped off by a 7-yard touchdown pass from Gunner Stockton to Zachariah Branch on a third-and-5, with Branch making a nice move to get away from a Georgia Tech defensive back and into the end zone.

Georgia leads Georgia Tech 10-3 with 4:35 left in the first half.

Georgia gets the ball near midfield

Georgia Tech punts after a three-and-out, with Marshall Nichols managing just a 22-yard boot that goes out of bounds at the Georgia 45-yard line. Bulldogs have an excellent opportunity to take the lead, with 8:25 remaining in the first half.

Georgia FG ties it up

The Bulldogs finish off a 13-play, 71-yard drive with a 22-yard Peyton Woodring field goal to tie it up with Georgia Tech, 3-3, with 9:42 left in the first half.

End of first quarter: Georgia Tech 3, Georgia 0

Trailing by three, Georgia will open the second quarter with a third-and-1 from its own 47-yard line.

Georgia Tech FG opens scoring

Georgia Tech is able to turn the Gunner Stockton interception into points, getting down to the Georgia 13-yard line and getting a 30-yard field goal from Aidan Birr to take a 3-0 lead with 1:22 remaining in the first quarter.

Gunner Stockton INT ends Georgia drive

Facing a third-and-13 from his team’s own 34-yard line, Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton throws an interception across the middle to Georgia Tech linebacker Tah’j Butler, who brings it back to the Bulldogs’ 37.

It’s just the fifth interception of the season for Stockton, though four of those have come in Georgia’s past five games.

Georgia Tech punts

An eventful first drive for Georgia Tech ends with a punt. After a misplayed kickoff, the Yellow Jackets start their opening drive on their own 3-yard line. Quarterback Haynes King risks getting called for intentional grounding when he throws away the ball while getting brought down in the end zone, but avoids a flag.

Georgia Tech gets up to its own 44-yard line, but ends up punting, with Georgia taking over at its own 12.
