Nate Frazier ran for a 2-point conversion in the 8th overtime of a marathon for the ages after No. 6 Georgia pulled off an unlikely fourth-quarter resurgence, offering the Bulldogs a 44-42 triumph over Georgia Tech on Friday night.
After falling behind 17-0 at halftime and being controlled most of the videogame, the Bulldogs (10-2, No. 7 CFP) might haveactually locked up a area in the College Football Playoff — no matter how they fare in next weekend’s Southeastern Conference champion videogame.
Carson Beck tossed 5 goal passes, 2 of them in overtime, in a videogame the Bulldogs neverever led upuntil after policy ended 27-all.
Georgia Tech (7-5) was led by Haynes King, who ran for for 3 goals and tossed for 2 more. But the Yellow Jackets took their seventh straight loss to the Bulldogs, the end coming simply a coupleof minutes after midnight on a frigid night inbetween the hedges.
Frazier took a handoff from Beck and burst up the middle, sendingout fireworks into the sky above Sanford Stadium.
It was the longest videogame in SEC history and simply one overtime shy of the record for any FBS videogame — Illinois’ 20-18 success over Penn State in 2021 that went to 9 additional durations.
