In a familiar matchup played on an unfamiliar day, and in a game that almost wouldn’t end, the No. 7-ranked Georgia football team wrapped up its regular season with its seventh consecutive win over Georgia Tech, 44-42 in eight overtimes, on Friday night at Sanford Stadium. But it wasn’t close to that simple.
Georgia trailed 17-0 at halftime, was dominated for much of the game, and trailed 27-13 with 5:37 to play. Then came the rally. With 1:01 remaining, the Bulldogs drew even on quarterback Carson Beck’s second touchdown pass to Dominic Lovett in the closing minutes. And in overtime, the teams traded scores and failed attempts until Georgia’s defense stopped Tech, and then Nate Frazier ran the ball in from the 3 in the eighth extra period.
