LIVE Updates: Georgia @ Georgia Tech

Georgia and Georgia Tech renew their rivalry after not playing in 2021 due to COVID-19.

Georgia is in Atlanta for the first of two consecutive trips to finish out 2021. Georgia is renewing the "Clean, Old Fashioned" with their in-state rival Georgia Tech. 

These two times are no stranger to each other, with this year's game being the 113th time these two rivals have met. Georgia is winning the rivalry with a 68-39-5 record versus the Yellow Jackets. 

The last time these two sides saw each other was two seasons ago in 2019 when Georgia beat Georgia Tech in Atlanta 56-7, a game infamous for George Pickens' ejection for fighting. The ejection came in the second half of a ball game that Georgia was winning big; the ejection would cause then-freshman wideout to miss the first half of the SEC Championship versus LSU. 

Pregame Notes: 

  • Jamaree Salyer is in street clothes and will not play. 
  • Christopher Smith is in street c
  • George Pickens has been spotted dressed out and warming up.
