Where does the moniker come from? Author Bill Cromartie gave the Georgia-Georgia Tech rivalry its famous nickname when he published a book on the rivalry in the 1970s. The name stuck and it’s fitting with no love lost between the Bulldogs and Yellow Jackets faithful.

Georgia Tech relies heavily on QB Haynes King who leads the team in passing and rushing. King has completed nearly 72% of his passes for 12 touchdowns and four interceptions. He’s also run for 883 yards and 15 TD’s.

Quarterbacks Gunner Stockton of No. 4 Georgia and Haynes King of No. 23 Georgia Tech will be in the spotlight when the Bulldogs try to extend their seven-game winning streak in the state rivalry game.

The Georgia Bulldogs have an opportunity to make series history this year in their rivalry with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
