ATLANTA — The Georgia football sidelined emptied with a mad rush as soon as Trevor Etienne hit the end zone in overtime. The No. 5 Bulldogs had just walked off a 22-19 SEC championship win in overtime in a game that may be viewed as devalued in the 12-team College Football Playoff era, but you…

The 2024 Georgia High School Association state playoffs get underway tonight, marking the start of one of the best postseason tournaments in prep athletics. Georgia is one of three states (Texas, Florida) to have more than 200 high schoolers sign to play at the FBS level over the past two recruiting cycles, a figure that…
There are a lot of adjectives that could be used to describe the Georgia football offense of late, but just how much things have changed in a year’s time is apparent in this postgame comment from coach Kirby Smart after Georgia hammered Ole Miss in November of 2023. “They’re potent,” Smart said of the unit…
