The #16 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (9-2) and the #8 Georgia Bulldogs (9-2) will both be looking to extend their long winning streaks when they face each other on Saturday afternoon. This was a great matchup last season, with the Bulldogs eventually coming away with a 41-34 win in double overtime.

Two weeks ago, Georgia Tech won their fourth consecutive game by defeating Clemson 28-6 at home. In that win, their defense held Clemson to just 59 passing yards and forced them into committing three turnovers.

Through 11 games, the Yellow Jackets are fourth in the country in rushing by gaining 327.9 yards per game on the ground. Their top offensive threat has been a wide receiver, though, as wide receiver DeAndre Smelter has been able to catch 32 passes this season for 671 yards with a team-high seven touchdowns.

Georgia won their third game in a row last Saturday when they rolled to a 55-9 victory over Charleston Southern. The Bulldogs had 580 total yards in that game, including 270 yards on the ground alone.

The Bulldogs have had one of the most complete teams in the country this year by scoring 43.3 points per game and only giving up 20.5 points per game. Running back Nick Chubb started out as Georgia's backup tailback, but he is now the team's leading rusher with 1,152 yards and 11 touchdowns.
