Georgia has a record of 11-2 straight up, 3-9 against the spread, and 6-6 over/under the total. Georgia ranks 47th for total offense, 12th for passing, 98th for rushing and 29th for scoring.

The overtime finish in the conference Championship was the second consecutive overtime finish of the Bulldogs' 2024 season. Georgia defeated their instate rivals, Georgia Tech, in an eight-overtime thriller just a week before conquering Texas in overtime as well. This was just the second time in Kirby Smart's tenure that Georgia competed in back-to-back overtime finishes. However, it was the first instance in which the Dawgs were able to emerge victorious in both games.
As the Georgia Bulldogs prepare for their College Football Playoff matchup in the Sugar Bowl, the team has received some disappointing news. It appears that quarterback Carson Beck is not expected to play for the Dawgs due to the injury suffered to his throwing arm in the SEC Championship.
Beck was the Bulldogs starter for the previous two seasons and helped lead the Dawgs to numerous exciting moments throughout his time as Georgia's starter. Before his injury, the Dawgs' signal caller led the SEC in touchdown passes and was closing in on 4,000 passing yards, which would have made him just the second quarterback in Georgia history to reach the milestone.
With Beck sidelined, the Bulldogs will turn to backup Gunner Stockton to lead them to victory in the Sugar Bowl. Stockton played the entire second half of the SEC Championship game and completed 12 passes for 71 yards, which was ultimately enough to provide Georgia with an overtime win over the Texas Longhorns. The Rabun County native will need to look to have similar fortunes as the Dawgs await either the Indiana Hoosiers or the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the Sugar Bowl.

Georgia has four national championships (1942, 1980, 2021, and 2022). The program operates in one of the most fertile recruiting regions in America. Thus, they are favorably set up for national championship chances for years to come.
Georgia has a total of 12 divisional and 16 SEC championships. They have two Heisman Trophy winners and 39 consensus All-Americans.
Until Kirby Smart, Vince Dooley was the gold standard of Georgia coaches. With Heisman Trophy running back Herschel Walker, Dooley led UGA to the 1980 national championship.
Dooley coached Georgia from 1964 through 1988 and was a legend in his own time. Dooley posted seven Top 10 finishes and won the 1980 national championship. He coached with a mature dignity that fans revere to this day. Dooley won six SEC crowns.
Mark Richt was a good coach who could bever quite break all the way through. But Richt finished with seven Top Ten finishes from 2002 through 2015 and remains respected, despite his firing after a 9-3 season. He won two SEC titles.
