TLDR: Georgia will host Georgia Tech in a Friday night showdown, as the Bulldogs aim to protect their College Football Playoff ranking and extend their notable winning streaks against their state rivals in the ‘Clean Old-Fashioned Hate’. With a spread in favor of Georgia by 19.5 points, the Bulldogs are looking to continue their 30-game home winning streak, and secure their 7-1 record under Coach Smart in this storied rivalry. Meanwhile, Georgia Tech seeks to upset the Bulldogs for the first time since 2016. A key matchup to watch will be Georgia Tech’s Jamal Haynes facing off against Georgia’s run defense. The Bulldogs also anticipate impressive performances from their own players, like freshman RB Nate Frazier, who put up career numbers recently. This game will test the strategies of both teams as they contend for previous glory and accolades.
Folks, we’re gearing up for a classic Southern clash this Friday evening as Georgia Tech takes on the sixth-ranked Georgia Bulldogs at 7:30 p.m. ET, with coverage on ABC. This rivalry, affectionately dubbed “Clean Old-Fashioned Hate,” is a big deal for both sides. Georgia is sitting pretty at 9-2, while Georgia Tech holds a 7-4 record—both teams have plenty to fight for. Notably, the betting odds are favoring Georgia by 19 and a half points, but we all know football’s full of surprises.
What a time it is for the Georgia Bulldogs; they sure do have a lot on the line. Not only are they trying to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive, but they’re also looking to maintain a stellar six-game streak against the Yellow Jackets. With an ambitious 30-game winning track at their home since 2019, the Bulldogs are riding high, and they’ll be looking to assert their dominance once again. Over at Georgia Tech, a victory is coveted, as they haven’t beaten Georgia since eking out a 28-27 win back in 2016. What a sweet day that would be for Georgia Tech fans to bring that kind of excitement back.
In the matchup department, Georgia Tech’s running back Jamal Haynes faces quite the challenge against Georgia’s tough run defense. Even though his last game saw him held to just 36 yards, Jamal still leads the Yellow Jackets with an impressive 717 rushing yards this season. Plus, with Georgia Tech’s quarterback Haynes King adding another 468 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground, it’ll certainly keep Georgia’s defense on their toes. And let’s not forget rookie Aaron Philo, who’s proven he can be a threat in the air.
Looking at the players to keep an eye on, Georgia Tech has been seeing some fire from their two quarterbacks. King holds a sharp completion rate with just one interception in 200 pass attempts—he’s consistent as can be. Meanwhile, Aaron Philo is steadily making his mark, showing effectiveness both in the passing game and with some crucial running plays of his own. Over on Georgia’s side, keep your eyes peeled for freshman Nate Frazier, who recently ran for 136 yards and scored triple touchdowns, making everybody sit up and take notice.
All eyes are on Georgia to not only win this game but to wrap up their home schedule with an undefeated record, just like they have done previously. But let’s not overlook Georgia Tech’s recent track record against ranked teams—who knows what magic they might work. My hunch says Georgia continues their winning ways, but hey, that’s why they play the game. Regardless, Friday night promises to be packed with excitement.
