Georgia comes from behind to defeat Georgia Tech 44-42 in 8th overtime period

In an epic eighth overtime showdown, freshman Nate Frazier ran for a 2-point conversion to give No. 6 Georgia a thrilling 44-42 victory over Georgia Tech after an improbable fourth-quarter comeback. Despite falling behind 17-0 at halftime and being dominated most of the game, the Bulldogs rallied behind quarterback Carson Beck’s five touchdown passes, two of which came in overtime. The Bulldogs never led until after regulation ended 27-all, making this game the longest in SEC history and just one overtime short of the FBS record. Georgia Tech’s Haynes King had a standout performance with three rushing touchdowns and two passing touchdowns, but it wasn’t enough as the Yellow Jackets suffered their seventh straight loss to Georgia. The game ended just after midnight in a frigid night at Sanford Stadium, with fireworks lighting up the sky as Frazier’s game-winning run sealed the victory. The back-and-forth game saw both teams matching touchdown passes and successful 2-point conversion attempts in overtime, leading to an eighth overtime battle where Frazier’s run finally ended the marathon game. The win potentially secured a spot in the College Football Playoff for Georgia, regardless of their performance in the upcoming SEC championship game.
