The latest on who’s in and who’s out for the Bulldogs as Georgia prepares to host Georgia Tech on Friday night.
The Georgia Bulldogs have handled every home test of the season and have extended their active home winning streak to 30 in the process. If the Bulldogs want to push it to 31, they’ll have to take care of business during a rare Friday night rivalry game.

They had some nice RPOs and some nice play designs, but it wasn’t about that. It’s, I want to — like, desire. That’s the biggest thing.”
Georgia is hoping to clean up its play and deliver more of the same against Georgia Tech. The Bulldogs have dominated their in-state rivals and aim to stretch their win streak to seven straight over the Yellow Jackets.
