The 2024 Georgia Tech vs. Georgia football game was a regular season college football game between the Georgia Bulldogs and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, played at Sanford Stadium located in Athens, Georgia on November 29, 2024. Georgia won the game 44–42 in eight overtimes.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] The game's eight overtime periods were the second most in college football history, surpassed only by the 2021 Illinois vs. Penn State game, which went to nine overtimes.[8]
Late in the fourth quarter just before the two-minute warning, Georgia Tech had the ball on their own 30-yard line on third down and one, where quarterback Haynes King fumbled which was recovered by Georgia defensive end Chaz Chambliss. However, controversially on the hit that caused the fumble by Georgia safety Dan Jackson, some argued that the hit should have been called targeting which would have given Georgia Tech the first down, and the ball back.[9] [10]
After the game many questioned Georgia's talent level and playoff hopes.[11]
