Just a few historical facts before Saturdays game..... The game has been played 109 times according to Georgia Tech and only 107 times according to Georgia record books. Georgia discredits two games in 1943 and 1944 (both years in which Georgia Tech won) because many of their players went to fight in World War II, though official college football records include the games.[21] The game has been played in either Athens or Atlanta alternating every year since 1928. Georgia Tech holds 4 national titles while Georgia holds 2 national titles for a total of 6 national titles. The two schools also have a total of 30 conference titles (16 for Tech, 14 for Georgia) between them, making the rivalry a battle between two historically prestigious programs. The record between the two teams is 64 Georgia wins, 40 Georgia Tech wins, and 5 ties. Georgia Techs longest winning streak, and the longest in the series, was eight games from 1949–1956. Georgias longest winning streak in the series was seven straight games from 1991 to 1997 and again from 2001 to 2007.
