0 – Georgia had zero penalties in the game for the first time since the 2019 Georgia Tech. The time prior to that was way back in 1997 against Louisiana-Monroe (when Kirby Smart was a player).

0 For the third time this season, the Bulldogs posted a shutout. The Dawgs have had eight shutouts since 2016 (when Smart took over). It's the most by any team in that time period.

1-5-0 – This is the line for George Pickens. One reception for five yards and no scores, but more importantly, it was his first game since the Peach Bowl against Cincinnati.

3 – Georgia’s defense also added three sacks. Jamon Dumas-Johnson and Robert Beal, Jr. had one apiece, and Nakobe Dean and Quay Walker split one.

4 – Jermaine Burton and Ladd McConkey are tied for second in touchdown receptions this season with four after each had one on Saturday.

4 – Stetson Bennett went 14-for-20 passing with four touchdown passes. The four touchdown passes were his second-highest of his career after his five against UAB back in September.

45-0 – The 45-0 win was the largest shutout win by Georgia over Georgia Tech. The previous largest shutout over Tech by Georgia was in 1903 when they won 38-0. The 45-point winning margin is also the largest by Georgia over Tech matching the 52-7 win in 2019.
