Georgia vs. Georgia Tech: Bulldogs Aim for Seventh Straight Win in 118th Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate
The 118th edition of the Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate rivalry is set to take place on Friday, November 29, as the No. 7 Georgia Bulldogs host the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia. Georgia, led by Coach Kirby Smart, is seeking its seventh consecutive victory against its in-state rival and aims to finish the regular season with a 10-win record. The Bulldogs have already secured a spot in the SEC Championship Game with a 6-2 conference record and are looking to extend their impressive 30-game home winning streak, the longest active streak in FBS dating back to 2019.
Georgia Tech, under the leadership of Coach Brent Key, is motivated to play spoiler and cap off another impressive season. The Yellow Jackets have finished with back-to-back winning seasons in ACC play for the first time since 2013-14, following a thrilling 30-29 win over NC State in their ACC finale. Freshman quarterback Aaron Philo played a crucial role in this victory, leading a late-game drive that ended with his 18-yard touchdown run. Georgia Tech’s offense, which has utilized multiple quarterbacks throughout the season, will be a key factor to watch as they face Georgia’s defense.
The game marks the first time since 1994 that Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate will be played on a Friday during rivalry weekend. Georgia holds a significant edge in the series with a 71-39-5 all-time record and a 7-1 record under Coach Kirby Smart. Despite the historical dominance, Georgia Tech’s approach and the strategic insights from offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner, who previously worked with Georgia, could make this game more competitive than expected.
The game will be broadcast on ABC and available for live streaming on fubo. The kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Predictions suggest that while Georgia Tech might keep the game close early on, the talent gap is likely to be exposed as the game progresses, with Georgia expected to secure another emphatic win.
