Georgia Bulldogs over Ga Tech Jackets

Jackets Go Down Once Again

Recap Link

ATHENS, Ga. -- Aaron Murray threw for three touchdowns, Justin Houston returned a fumble 18 yards for a score and Georgia Tech missed a tying extra point, giving Georgia the win it needed to be eligible for a bowl, a 42-34 victory over the Yellow Jackets on Saturday night.

This one was a comedy of errors that surely wasn't very funny for the fans of either team, both finishing disappointing seasons. But Georgia (6-6) held on to beat its state rival for the second year in a row, benefiting from a rare miscue by one of Georgia Tech's most reliable players.

Georgia 42 (6-6, 3-5 SEC) Georgia Tech 34 (6-6, 4-4 ACC)
