ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia has a highlight to remember as the finishing touch on an otherwise disappointing regular season.
The Bulldogs knocked Georgia Tech from No. 7 to No. 12 in Sunday's AP Top 25 with Saturday's night's 30-24 upset win.
Georgia (7-5) is far removed from the poll, but the Bulldogs at least have redemption for last season's loss to the Yellow Jackets.
Georgia Tech players left last year's win with pieces of Sanford Stadium's hedges. As an answer, Georgia center Ben Jones walked out of Bobby Dodd Stadium with a piece of the Grant Field turf in his teeth on Saturday night.
The Bulldogs pulled off the upset by rushing for 339 yards - their high mark in nine seasons under coach Mark Richt.
