ATLANTA – Georgia put together perhaps its most complete game of the college football season Saturday with a 13-7 win over rival Georgia Tech at Bobby Dodd Stadium.
But was it enough to secure another season for embattled head coach Mark Richt?
The Bulldogs (9-3) won their fourth consecutive game after losing three of four and falling out of contention in the SEC East. The heat on Richt, already increasing in local and national circles, got hotter after last week’s overtime win over Georgia Southern.
Following Saturday’s win, Richt’s 13th against Tech in 15 games, Bulldog players let their feelings be known about their veteran coach.
“I’m not worried about it,” said senior linebacker Jordan Jenkins. “I know Coach Richt is safe and the rest of the coaches are safe.”
