Georgia Defeats Georgia Tech in Historic 8-Overtime Thriller

The Bulldogs overcame a 17-point halftime deficit to secure a 44-42 victory, marking the second-longest game in college football history.

Georgia Tech led 17-0 at halftime and 27-13 late in the fourth quarter before Georgia mounted a dramatic comeback to force overtime.
The game, which ended after eight overtimes, is the second-longest in college football history, falling just one overtime short of the record set in 2021.
Georgia quarterback Carson Beck threw five touchdown passes, including two late in regulation, while Georgia Tech’s Haynes King accounted for five total touchdowns in a gutsy performance.
Georgia extended its home winning streak to 31 games and kept its College Football Playoff hopes alive with the victory.
The loss marked Georgia Tech’s seventh straight defeat in the rivalry but highlighted the program's resurgence under coach Brent Key, with the Yellow Jackets finishing the regular season 7-5.
