ATHENS — The No. 1-ranked Georgia football team has opened as a 35-point favorite over Georgia Tech.

Coach Kirby Smart said the Bulldogs’ (11-0) leaders turned their attention to the Yellow Jackets (3-8) quickly after they disposed of FCS Charleston Southern by a 56-7 count on Senior Day.

“They talked after the game and wanted everybody locked in,” said Smart, who is 4-1 against Georgia Tech since taking over as the Georgia head coach before the 2016 season.

“It takes a lot of pressure off me when they’re saying it. When they speak, people listen. I think they’ll handle that right.”
