Georgia Bulldogs' Biggest Hurdle: Tennessee Showdown in 2025
25 Jul
Summary
- Georgia's 2025 schedule nearly identical to 2024, with Tennessee game as "significant road test"
- Quarterback Gunner Stockton to make first SEC road start against Tennessee
- Georgia's early trip to Tennessee could set tone for rest of season
As the Georgia Bulldogs look ahead to the 2025 college football season, their schedule is nearly identical to the previous year, with a few new non-conference opponents and a flipped SEC slate. While the team will face familiar foes like Alabama and Texas, ESPN has identified a different game as their biggest "swing game" of the upcoming season: the matchup against the Tennessee Volunteers.
Quarterback Gunner Stockton, who is entering his junior year, will be making his first career SEC road start in the intimidating environment of Neyland Stadium. ESPN's Mark Schlabach has called this game a "significant road test" not only for Stockton but for the entire Georgia offense, as they navigate one of the "most intimidating road environments in the SEC."
Stockton, who has completed 57-of-83 passes for 588 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions in his career so far, will be looking to lead the Bulldogs to victory in this crucial early-season matchup. A win over the Volunteers could set the tone for the rest of Georgia's season, as they have only two true road games remaining after the Tennessee clash.
