ATHENS — Sanford Stadium fans are stunned at halftime. No. 7 Georgia, a 19.5-point favorite, trails Georgia Tech 17-0, and it could be worse than that.

Georgia Tech missed a 25-yard field goal and had a fourth-down try stopped inside the 30. But as the half progressed, the Yellow Jackets got better and better, with two touchdown drives to make the upset look more and more likely.

Georgia can still come back. But it looked like the much inferior team had a 307-137 lead. Georgia Tech has penetrated deep into Georgia territory on all five of its drives, and Georgia’s offense has suffered from falls, a fumble in Georgia Tech territory, and its own fourth-down failure the only time it has in the red zone came.

There’s still a long way to go, but we’re 30 minutes away from one of the most stunning results of the college football season.
