Georgia-Georgia Tech History
he Georgia Bulldogs and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets have a longstanding and intense rivalry in college football, commonly known as the “Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate.” This rivalry is one of the oldest and most well-known in college sports, with both teams representing major universities in the state of Georgia.
1. First Meeting:
- The first meeting between Georgia and Georgia Tech took place on November 4, 1893, with Georgia Tech winning 28-6. This was the beginning of what would become one of the fiercest rivalries in college football.
2. Series History:
- As of the 2023 season, the two teams have met 114 times.
- Georgia leads the series, with a record of 70 wins to 41 losses and 5 ties.
- The rivalry has seen long stretches of dominance by both teams. Georgia has won the majority of recent meetings, but Georgia Tech has had successful stretches, especially during the earlier parts of the 20th century.
3. Notable Games and Streaks:
- 1930s-1940s: Georgia Tech had a strong run, dominating the rivalry for much of the early 20th century. Under coach William Alexander in the late 1920s and 1930s, Tech won several key games.
- 1940s-1960s: This period saw more back-and-forth contests. Georgia won several games in the 1950s and 1960s, with notable individual performances, but the series was competitive overall.
- 1970s-1980s: Georgia Tech had some high points in the rivalry, but Georgia, especially under coach Vince Dooley, had a consistent edge in the 1980s, including a victory in the 1980 Sugar Bowl that capped off an undefeated national championship season.
- 1990s: Tech had a few notable wins in the 1990s, particularly under coach Bobby Ross, and in 1990, Georgia Tech won the national championship with a victory over the Bulldogs. However, Georgia typically held an edge in the series overall.
- 2000s-present: In more recent years, Georgia has had a strong run in the rivalry. Under head coaches like Mark Richt and Kirby Smart, Georgia has won most of the games in the 21st century, including a dominant stretch in the 2010s.
Final Word
The Georgia Bulldogs, a powerhouse in the Southeastern Conference (SEC), tend to play a few games against smaller schools as part of their non-conference schedule. With the expansion of the conference, a tougher schedule means they can lose every week they play. But Kirby is ready.
