won its fifth straight over Florida in Jacksonville. Georgia erased an early 7-0 deficit at MSU with
38 unanswered points and eventually recorded a 41-21 decision for the program’s 900th all-time
win. Georgia used a 21-point fourth quarter to defeat No. 10 Texas 35-10 to close out the SEC
regular season. Georgia is 40-3 in its last 43 SEC regular-season games.

Playing With FPE (Fire, Passion & Energy)

*One of Georgia’s main themes in 2025 is to play with “FPE.”

*Fifty-four percent of Georgia’s roster consists of players in their first or second season here.

*Georgia’s scoring defense this year has allowed 17.4 ppg and posted 20 scoreless quarters.

*Junior ILB CJ Allen, the SEC leader in average tackles per game at 7.8, is a semifinalist for the
Butkus Award, the Chuck Bednarik Award, Lott IMPACT Trophy and Jason Witten Collegiate
Man of the Year Award.

*Redshirt junior QB Gunner Stockton is a finalist for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, a
semifinalist for the Maxwell, the Davey O’Brien and the Walter Camp Player of the Year Awards.
Senior P Brett Thorson (Ray Guy Award), junior PK Peyton Woodring (Lou Groza Award) and
senior SN Beau Gardner (Patrick Mannelly Award) are semifinalists for their position awards.

*Due to injuries, Georgia started six different offensive line units in the first six games and seven
total this year. The regular starting five returned against No. 5 Ole Miss and helped pave the way
for 34 first downs and 515 total yards in the win. This unit started in four of the past five games
with last week’s win over Charlotte the exception.
