There are three Georgia players on New England's roster and two will participate in Super Bowl LIII against the Los Angeles Rams. Those players, rookie running back Sony Michel and fourth-year center David Andrews, are doing something this week that they hoped they've never have to -- practice in enemy territory.

The Patriots are using Georgia Tech's practice facilities to prepare for the big game and according to WBZ TV out of Boston, the former UGA standouts on the roster are none too happy about it.

“The Georgia guys [Michel and Andrews] are not thrilled being at Georgia Tech,” New England head coach Bill Belichick said per WBZ TV. “But that’s all right. They’ll get over it.”

Both Andrews and Michel had plenty of success against the Yellow Jackets on their home turf. Both players played on teams that went 2-0 in Atlanta, as have many Bulldogs over the years. That's because Georgia hasn't lost to Georgia Tech in Atlanta since 1999, an overtime loss after one of the poorest calls in the history of the rivalry.

The Bulldogs came back from 17 points down and the score was 48-48 with nine seconds remaining. That's when Jasper Sanks took a handoff up the middle and clearly went to the ground before the ball jarred loose. The officiating crew, without the benefit of replay, deemed it a fumble and the Yellow Jackets eventually won 51-48 in overtime.

Michel finished his career 2-2 against the in-state rival and the Bulldogs 28-27 loss to Tech in his junior season played a role in his decision to return for one final season at UGA. Returning to school benefited both Michel and UGA a great deal. The Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. native rushed for 1,227 yards and 16 touchdowns in his final season and worked his way up to the No. 31 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. The Bulldogs went on a College Football Playoff run with Michel earning offensive MVP in the Rose Bowl victory over Oklahoma in the first round.

Andrews did slightly better in his four years at UGA, finishing with a 3-1 record. New England left guard Shaq Mason played for Georgia Tech during those four years and Andrews doesn't let him forget it.

“I like to always remind him that I’m 3-1 against him, and he always likes to remind me that he beat us our senior year and that’s all that matters — and it was Between the Hedges,” Andrews said this week of Mason. “But we always give each other grief. He’s fun-loving. He’s a great teammate, and he’s become one of my best friends. It’s kind of crazy, after this year we’ve played more football with each other than our respective schools, so I never thought that would happen but here we are.”

Offensive lineman Isaiah Wynn, whose time at UGA coincided with Michel, is also on the Patriots' roster but he's on injured reserve after suffering a torn achilles during the preseason. Todd Gurley and Ramik Wilson represent UGA on the Rams' roster.
