Georgia Tech appeared to be heading towards their first win over rival Georgia since 2016 and earn one of their biggest wins in years, but they fell just short in eight overtimes. The Yellow Jackets got a terrific performance from quarterback Haynes King and took the Bulldogs to the wire, but they could not make enough plays at the end to put them away. Now, Georgia Tech finishes the season 7-5 and will wait for next Sunday to see where they are going to be headed to play for their bowl game.
