ATHENS —
Last season’s loss to Georgia Tech provided a stern reminder for Georgia’s football players: This rivalry is not one to be taken lightly.
“Without a doubt, sometimes when you win as many as we were winning, some people can tend to forget that rivalry hatred,” Georgia offensive lineman Kolton Houston said this week. “But it’s real again.”
For Georgia, the overtime loss in Athens a year ago snapped a five-game winning streak in the series and was the Bulldogs’ second loss to the Yellow Jackets in 14 games under coach Mark Richt.
