Mandatory Credit: Brett Davis-Imagn Images Nate Frazier’s two-point conversion in the eighth overtime gave No. 7 Georgia a 44-42 win over rival Georgia Tech in the second-longest game in FBS history in Athens, Ga., on Friday.
After the Bulldogs forced Haynes King’s incomplete pass to begin the eighth free period, Frazier’s scoring run staved off the massive upset for Georgia (10-2), which will play for the SEC Championship next week.
Carson Beck threw for 297 yards and five touchdowns in the win, while King threw for 303 yards and two scores, adding 110 yards on the ground and three rushing touchdowns for the Yellow Jackets (7-5), who led 17-0 at halftime and 27-13 with under four minutes left.
In the first overtime, Beck found London Humphreys for a 14-yard touchdown, before King’s game-tying 12-yard TD pass to Eric Singleton Jr. King’s 1-yard rush was answered with Beck’s 25-yard scoring pass to Cash Jones in the second overtime. Both teams’ two-point conversions were unsuccessful. Both teams scored in the fifth overtime but came up empty in the next two OTs to set the stage for the eighth OT.
