Georgia Bulldogs Kick Off 2025 Season with Impressive Victory

The Georgia Bulldogs began their 2025 season with a resounding victory, defeating the Marshall Thundering Herd with a score of 45-7. The game, played on a Saturday in Athens, Georgia, marked the debut of new quarterback Gunner Stockton.

Stockton, a freshman, showed his potential early on, leading the team on a 70-yard drive that culminated in a touchdown. During this drive, he completed a 25-yard pass to Zachariah Branch and had multiple rush opportunities totaling 21 yards before scoring the touchdown himself.

The touchdown by Dwight Phillips Jr., rushing the ball in from 17 yards out, occurred around nine minutes into the first quarter. This early lead set the tone for the rest of the game, as the Bulldogs continued to dominate.

The first drive of the Thundering Herd, in contrast, resulted in only six yards of offense.

After the impressive win against Marshall, the Bulldogs will face Austin Peay next Saturday. The location and date for this game have yet to be announced. Following their match against Austin Peay, the Bulldogs will travel to Knoxville to take on the Tennessee Volunteers in Week 3.

In preparation for these upcoming games, the Bulldogs' pregame and postgame shows will be live from Athens. These shows will feature former Bulldog QB Jake Fromm and sports director Baillie Burmaster, providing fans with insightful analysis and commentary.

So, as the Georgia Bulldogs continue their season, fans can look forward to more exciting games and the continued development of Gunner Stockton. Stay tuned for more updates on the Bulldogs' journey!
