Storylines On The 2026 Bulldogs

The Bulldogs were preseason ranked No. 3 (AP). They are among the teams with designs on advancing to the College Football Playoff and challenging for another title. Georgia features seven returning starters on offense including fifth-year All-SEC quarterback Gunner Stockton and All-SEC junior tailbacks Nate Frazier and Chauncey Bowens. Eight starters return on defense including All-American juniors KJ Bolden and Ellis Robinson IV and veteran starters in seniors Raylen Wilson, Jordan Hall and Gabe Harris Jr., plus junior Quintavius Johnson. Also, the special teams unit is headlined by senior All-SEC placekicker Peyton Woodring. In 2025, the Bulldogs were one of the youngest teams in the country with 54 percent of the roster consisting of players in their first or second season in Athens. In 2026, the Bulldogs brought in only nine scholarship transfers, the fewest in the SEC.

Selflessness: In the offseason, the Bulldogs studied the 2025 NBA Champion OKC Thunder and noted how they led the league in eight major defensive and team statistical categories and most importantly, “seflessness,” according to Coach Kirby Smart. He aims for the 2026 Bulldogs to showcase that trait.

Georgia opened the season with a 63-3 home victory over Tennessee State, tallying 660 yards of total offense on 60 plays while allowing just 99 yards on 58 plays. In 2025, Georgia’s scoring defense ranked 10th nationally at 17.6 ppg while the scoring offense averaged 32.1 ppg, good for 28th nationally. This Saturday, the Bulldogs face Western Kentucky (0-1) who fell 49-14 at Nevada last week. WKU registered 367 yards of offense on 82 plays. Nevada managed 486 yards of offense on 58 plays.
