History

2013 Season

The 2013 season was the first in which the Georgia Bulldogs played. The Dawgs finished the regular season with a 9-3 record and lost to Ohio State in the Capital One Bowl.

2014 Season

The 2014 season was the second in which the Georgia Bulldogs played. Georgia began its season with a last second loss to Minnesota, before rattling off ten consecutive wins. The Bulldogs struggled late in the season, losing back-to-back games against Georgia Tech and in the SEC Championship, but ended the season with a resounding win over Kansas in the Sugar Bowl.

2015 Season

The 2015 season was the third in which the Georgia Bulldogs played. Georgia began its season with a last second loss to Michigan State, before rebounding and winning 10 of their last 11 games. They clinched the SEC East title with a win over arch rival Auburn and defeated Texas A&M for their first SEC Championship. The Dawgs were the #4 seed in the 2015 playoffs and defeated #5 Stanford in the Sugar Bowl. Star tailback Brian Houghton tore his ACL against the Cardinal, however, and the Dawgs were dominated by #1 seeded Penn State in the resulting Fiesta Bowl.
