12-3 Season Record
Western Kentucky comes in with roughly 66 new players and an entirely new defensive line, but returns dual-threat QB Rodney Tisdale and safety Jaylen Lewis, one of the nation's top coverage safeties. The Hilltoppers' eight bowl wins since 2014 trail only Georgia and Minnesota.
Georgia faces Western Kentucky ahead of its SEC opener, meeting the Hilltoppers for the first time since a 48-12 Bulldogs victory in 2006. WKU arrives off a 9-4 season and has posted winning records in every year under coach Tyson Helton.
Tennessee State visits Athens with a retooled offense under new coordinator Matt Leone, with Rodney Tisdale Jr. locked in at quarterback after a spring injury to FSU transfer Brock Glenn. Georgia returns key pieces and holds a clear talent edge.
Georgia hosts Tennessee State at Sanford Stadium next month to open the 2026 season. The Tigers went 2-10 in Reggie Barlow's first year and were picked to finish last in the OVC-Big South, making the Bulldogs heavy favorites.
CBS Sports lists Georgia among the top 10 offensive lines in college football heading into the 2026 season, putting the Bulldogs' trench play in the same tier as Ohio State's.
A new retrospective looks back at Georgia's 31-3 rout of then-unbeaten Mississippi State on Sept. 23, 2017, a game the piece frames as the moment the Bulldogs' current era arrived under Kirby Smart.
