There was an added edge to No. 4 Georgia’s postgame celebration after the Bulldogs’ latest win in the state rivalry known as “Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate.”

Nate Frazier ran for 108 yards, Gunner Stockton threw a scoring pass to Zachariah Branch for the only touchdown of the game and No. 4 Georgia retained its lock on the rivalry with another close win by holding off No. 23 Georgia Tech 16-9 on Friday.

The Bulldogs (11-1) claimed their eighth straight win in the rivalry, the longest streak in school history. That’s why Georgia linebacker Quintavius Johnson said the postgame celebration was especially sweet.
