Though only a few weeks have come and gone, it’s safe to say that the biggest game of the young 2024 college football season will be played this Saturday night when the No. 2-ranked Georgia Bulldogs make the 273-mile trip from Athens to Tuscaloosa to take on the No. 4-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide. Georgia vs. […]

There hasn’t been much in the way of Georgia football this season, despite only what has transpired off the field. Reckless driving has become a serious issue for the program, and head coach Kirby Smart has taken some time to acknowledge it. Sophomore cornerback Daniel Harris was arrested on September 13 for reckless driving and […]

The Georgia Bulldogs entered Week 3 as the No. 1 ranked team in the AP Top 25 poll. Less than 24 hours after their razor-thin 13-12 victory over SEC rival the Kentucky Wildcats, they dropped to No. 2 behind the Texas Longhorns and fell to No. 3 in our power rankings. Winners of two of […]

Georgia football continues to draw an embarrassment of riches each recruiting season, and the 2025 class is on track result for more of the same. Especially if the Bulldogs can woo three-star Florida Gators commit DL Jeremiah McCloud to take his talents to Athens, Georgia. In May, he committed to the Gators but has since […]

In recent years, the Georgia football team has been one of the best college programs in terms of pumping out NFL talent. The Bulldogs have been one of the best college football teams in general as they have won two of the last three national titles, and they have been so good because of the […]

Georgia football has mostly cruised through their first two games. Clemson gave them a competitive first half, but Kirby Smart and company steamrolled the Tigers in the second half. In Week 2, Georgia took it to Tennessee Tech 48-3 in Athens. Despite the non-competitive scores, Georgia has accumulated a laundry list of injuries already this […]

No. 1 ranked Georgia football, still swimming in praise after they dominated Clemson, will not have Mykel Williams, one of their best defenders, available for the next few weeks because of a Grade 2 ankle sprain. Kirby Smart, via Seth Emerson of The Athletic, described the injury as a “week-to-week” injury. “It’s stable. He’s week-to-week,” […]

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Georgia football is the preseason No. 1 team and national title favorite once again. Saturday did absolutely nothing to dampen the hype, and it in fact may have even done the opposite. Kirby Smart and the Dawgs dismantled No. 14 Clemson for 60 straight minutes in Atlanta, […]

Georgia’s dominant opening win against Clemson also came with an epic interception from Malaki Starks in the fourth quarter. With 9:26 left in the game, Starks made a leaping interception against Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik that looked familiar to the one he had against Oregon in 2022. Everyone was in awe about the interception, including […]

Some close losses can antagonize a coach or a player for a lifetime. But every once in a while, a loss is so thorough that all one can do is shake their head and move on. That’s the best way to think of the No. 14 ranked Clemson Tigers 3-34 loss to No. 1 ranked […]

The Georgia football team has been making a lot of headlines this offseason, but unfortunately, they have been for all the wrong reasons. The Bulldogs have had a big problem with driving-related issues in recent years, and while that is still a big issue, the latest arrest to a Georgia player was because of cruelty […]

Normally, when a program with the recent success and track record of the Georgia Bulldogs signs a 3-star recruit, it doesn’t necessarily register as newsworthy. However, Jayden-Jamal Hanne is not your normal 3-star recruit. Hanne, who grew up in Germany and moved to the United States in 2022, has only been playing football for two […]

The proliferation of the transfer portal and the ability for collegiate athletes to make money off of their own Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) has predictably been a major game-changer to all aspects of college sports.

The offseason recruitment race is on. A big chunk of the Power Five schools are now offering scholarships left and right to promising young high school standouts. While a lot of them are offensive weapons, the defensive menaces are also getting some love. Chuck McDonald has long been in the headlines as one of the […]

Now that Alabama icon Nick Saban is officially retired from coaching, Georgia football surely sees an opportunity to firmly establish themselves as the sport’s world-beater for the next several years. That lofty but seemingly attainable mission begins by winning a national championship in 2024-25. But dynasties are not maintained without looking towards the future, in […]

Georgia football and Florida football are rivals on the field, and now they are facing each other in court in a way.

The Georgia football program is coming off a solid but ultimately unsuccessful season in the Southeastern Conference.

When you’re as talented as Georgia football, with natural recruiting success and top-3 classes over the last four years, you don’t have to rely on the transfer portal as much to build your team’s roster.

The Georgia Bulldogs were the last team on the outside looking in on the College Football Playoff field.

Georgia football has landed Alabama cornerback coach Travaris Robinson. He’ll serve as the Bulldogs co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach, per Brett McMurphy at Action Network.
