On the strength of a third quarter offensive explosion, Georgia Tech bested Georgia in Athens 45–42. Tech was led by the rushing efforts of Roddy Jones and Jon Dwyer who were major contributors to Tech's 410 total rushing yards. Jones alone contributed 299 all-purpose yards in the effort. The win ended a seven year losing streak to the Bulldogs and preserved Tech coach Bobby Dodd's series record eight-game winning streak that ran from 1949–1956.

    “Georgia, Georgia, no peace I find, just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind.”
    —Stuart Gorrell (d. 1963)

    “I am perhaps being a bit facetious but if some of my good Baptist brethren in Georgia had done a little preaching from the pulpit against the K.K.K. in the ‘20s, I would have a little more genuine American respect for their Christianity!”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “Being a Georgia author is a rather specious dignity, on the same order as, for the pig, being a Talmadge ham.”
    —Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
