ATLANTA -- Georgia tailback Sony Michel rushed for 149 yards and kicker Marshall Morgan added two field goals to lead the Bulldogs to a 13-7 victory over rival Georgia Tech on Saturday.
Michel, a sophomore, carried 24 times, one a 34-yard touchdown, and went over 1,000 yards. He has rushed for 1,076 yards this season.
Morgan added field goals of 19 and 37 yards for the Bulldogs (9-3), who have won four straight and avenged last season's overtime loss to the Yellow Jackets. Morgan also missed a 40-yarder.
Georgia quarterback Greyson Lambert completed 18-of-25 passes for 224 yards.
Georgia Tech (3-9) turned the ball over three times, twice on interceptions and once on a fumble.
The Yellow Jackets scored their only points on a 15-yard pass from quarterback Justin Thomas to wide receiver Ricky Jeune with 3:24 remaining in the game.
