Freshman Nate Frazier ran for a 2-point conversion in the eighth overtime of a historic game, leading No. 6 Georgia to a 44-42 victory over Georgia Tech. Despite falling behind 17-0 at halftime, the Bulldogs mounted an impressive comeback, with quarterback Carson Beck throwing five touchdown passes to force overtime. The game ended up being the longest in SEC history and just one overtime shy of the FBS record. Georgia Tech, led by Haynes King, put up a strong fight, but ultimately suffered their seventh straight loss to the Bulldogs. The game-winning moment came when Frazier ran in the 2-point conversion, securing the victory for Georgia.
The Bulldogs’ comeback was sparked by a key turnover forced by their defense late in the game, giving them a chance to tie the score in regulation. Overtime saw both teams trading matching touchdown passes and conversions, with the game pushing on until the eighth extra period. After both teams failed to convert their 2-point attempts, Frazier finally sealed the win for Georgia by running in the game-winning conversion.
The victory likely secured a spot for Georgia in the College Football Playoff, regardless of the outcome of their upcoming SEC championship game. The thrilling game between the Bulldogs and the Yellow Jackets will go down as one of the most memorable matchups in college football history.
