As the final seconds ticked away from the 63-3 win over Florida State in the Captial One Orange Bowl, Kirby Smart and his Georgia Bulldogs turned the corner to fall 2024 with one goal: to win a third National Championship in four years. Over the last five years, Georgia Football has positioned itself as the top dog of the Southeastern Conference after winning back-to-back National Championships before being wrongfully left out of the College Football Playoffs. This fall, Georgia Football will be on a war path as they assert their dominance with the new blood of teams and coaches coming into the Southeastern Conference.

Many expected the Bulldogs to concede after the 2023 SEC Championship game, where Alabama emerged victorious. However, the program, under Kirby Smart’s unwavering leadership, displayed its true fighting spirit, refusing to roll over. This resilience is a testament to the team’s determination, a quality that should fill all Georgia Football fans with hope and optimism.

Georgia went out and added Trevor Etienne as running back, stealing him from the jaws of the Gators in Florida. Etienne is a generational talent that gives the Bulldogs an added weapon in the backfield to take some of the load from Heisman hopeful Carson Beck at quarterback. Losing Brock Bowers, Ladd McConkey, and Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint to the NFL hurts, as would any team. Georgia attacked those positions in the offseason and expects big things from Dominic Lovett as a wide receiver and Oscar Delp as a tight end. With the leadership on the line of scrimmage from Earnest Green 3rd and Tate Rattledge, Carson Beck and company should lead the Southeastern Conference in offensive production in 2024.

Georgia has talent on the defensive side of the ball, yet needs game experience to get on the level that Head Coach Kirby Smart expects from his Georgia defensive units. In that secondary, Daylen Everette and talented Malaki Starks are the only two returning starters in the secondary for the Bulldogs. According to multiple mock drafts, Malaki Starks has the highest ceiling for the unit as the fall rolls around. In the middle, Georgia has Chaz Chambliss and Smael Mondon Jr returning as starters from the 2023 team. On the defensive line, Mykel Williams and Nazir Stackhouse are back and ready to wreak havoc across the Southeastern Conference while quickly bringing Warren Brinson up to speed.

Expectations are rightfully high for Head Coach Kirby Smart and his Georgia Bulldogs heading into the fall of 2024. Despite the challenging schedule, the 2024 Georgia Bulldogs have all the pieces to win another National Championship. On paper, the only thing stopping Georgia from another National Championship is the program within the program.

Georgia will open the 2024 season in Atlanta on August 31st against the Clemson Tigers out of the ACC.
