The Georgia Bulldogs are gearing up for the 2025 college football season with a revamped roster and high expectations. With kickoff just under two months away, fans are eager to see how the team performs, especially with Gunner Stockton anticipated to take the reins as quarterback.
Tough Schedule, Home Advantage
Georgia faces another challenging schedule in 2025, but they'll start with a couple of non-Power Four opponents, giving Stockton and the team some time to adjust. The good news for the Bulldogs is that their toughest opponents will be playing at home, making their schedule more manageable compared to 2024. They only have three true road games.
Roster Rebuild After NFL Draft
This offseason, Georgia has been busy rebuilding its roster after losing 13 players to the 2025 NFL draft and some key transfers, including quarterback Carson Beck and linebacker Damon Wilson. The 2025 Bulldogs will look different from the 2024 squad, but they still possess elite talent across the board.
Early Season Matchups
Georgia's season kicks off on August 30th against the Marshall Thundering Herd. Marshall, coming off a strong 10-3 season and Sun Belt Conference championship, could pose a challenge. The game will be a good early test for the new-look Bulldogs. Following that, on September 6th, they face Austin Peay Governors, an FCS opponent, where a dominant performance is expected.
SEC Championship Chances
Analysts like Roman Harper and Jordan Palmer have weighed in on Georgia's chances in the SEC. Harper believes Georgia might take a slight step back, while Palmer is more optimistic, particularly highlighting the impact of new receivers like Noah Thomas and Zachariah Branch. According to Palmer, these additions address a past weakness in Georgia's offense, making them a stronger contender.
The Bulldogs' journey through the 2025 season promises to be exciting, with a blend of familiar challenges and new faces ready to make their mark. Can they live up to the hype and dominate the SEC once again?
