I think Georgia will be better next year, but I think Tech will be as well.

I did not expect a blowout.  I expected it would be close.  Georgia 
played that game like everyone expected they would have when they were 
ranked 13th at the beginning of the season.  I've said all along, the 
game was for Georgia Tech to win or lose, they lost it.  I think that 
was the best Georgia played all year.

A lot of folks thought it would be a blow out because Green was out.
