The Bulldogs football program was established in 1892 by a Chemistry professor Dr Charles Herty. The team played their first game against Mercer University and won 50-0. Their second game was a memorable game against Auburn University, which started the “Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry.”

Despite being one of the oldest and most respected football programs in the country, the Bulldogs have seen their fair share of lows. The team had to contend with long droughts of trophy-less seasons, but have always comeback strongly. Since the program’s inception, the Bulldogs have won seven Division titles and fourteen Conference titles, which include twelve SEC championships.

The Bulldogs have won two National titles, a shard title in ’42 and a consensus national championship in ’80. However they are credited with winning the title in ’27, ’46 and ’68 as well, but these claims are sometimes disputed.

The Bulldogs have produced numerous star players over the years. These include Heisman Trophy winners Frank Sinwich (1942) and Herschel Walker (1982). Three Georgia players have gone on to win the coveted Super Bowl MVP award (Jake Scott, Terrell Davis and Hines Ward). 68 Georgia players have been selected as All-Americans, out of which 24 have been consensus All-Americans.

Based in Athens, Sanford Stadium has been the home of the Bulldogs since 1929. The Bulldogs have a pretty good home record at the Sanford Stadium; they have never posted a losing season record at the venue. So it will be interesting to see how they match up to teams this season too. You can watch these games first hand by buying Georgia Bulldogs Athens Tickets.
