Georgia aims for seventh straight win over Georgia Tech

Nov 24, 2007 - 11:33 AM No. 6 Georgia (9-2) at Georgia Tech (7-4) 3:30 pm EST

ATLANTA (Ticker) -- While Georgia needs help to get to the Southeastern Conference championship game, there is one thing it can control. That would be maintaining its recent dominance of Georgia Tech.

The sixth-ranked Bulldogs seek their seventh straight victory over Georgia Tech on Saturday in the regular-season finale for both teams.

This will be the 102nd meeting in one of the South's most storied rivalries that Georgia leads, 58-38-5.

A Georgia victory on Saturday would match the Bulldogs' longest winning streak in a series that dates to 1893. They also won seven in a row from 1991-1997.

If Kentucky upsets Tennessee on Saturday, Georgia (9-2) will capture the SEC East Division and advance to the conference championship game on December 1. The Bulldogs completed SEC play at 6-2.

"Just playing Georgia Tech (7-4) alone is plenty of motivation for our guys to get ready to play," Georgia coach Mark Richt said.

Saturday's contest features two of the top running backs in the country in Georgia Tech senior Tashard Choice and Georgia freshman Knowshon Moreno.

Choice (117.6 ypg), who has battled knee and hamstring injuries, leads the Atlantic Coast Conference and ranks 20th nationally in rushing. He has surpassed the century mark seven times this season.

Moreno (111.6 ypg) ranks second behind Arkansas' Darren McFadden in the SEC and 25th nationally. He has five straight 100-yard games, including a 124-yard effort in last week's 24-13 win over Kentucky.
