Georgia Bulldogs: Zach Laskey
Game breakdown: Georgia Tech-Georgia
Saturday, Noon
Sanford Stadium, Athens, Ga.
ESPN
Records: Georgia 10-1 (7-1 SEC), Georgia Tech 6-5 (5-3 ACC)
Last week: Georgia beat Georgia Southern 45-14, Georgia Tech beat Duke 42-24
What’s the Story?: No. 3 Georgia needs one more win to all but ensure that next week’s SEC championship game is for a spot in the BCS championship game. That win will have to come in Saturday’s game against in-state rival Georgia Tech -- in the final home game Georgia’s seniors will play between Sanford Stadium’s storied hedges. Victory over the Yellow Jackets means an enormous buildup to next week’s game in Atlanta. A defeat would be one of the most devastating losses in Mark Richt’s tenure as Georgia’s coach.
