COMMENTS
This Georgia team isn’t the same level as the Bulldog teams of 2021 and 2022. It’s just a matter of time before this Georgia team finally faces its Little Big Horn. Stetson Bennett caliber of players are a once in a lifetime find. There won’t be a super bulldog to bail out Georgia. I think Auburn takes down the Dawgs on the plains.
