5 fearless Georgia football predictions for 2025 season one week from season opener
But every team and every campaign is different, and the Bulldogs enter their 3:30 p.m. game with Marshall next Saturday with more questions than answers.
Comments
Vegas says the Dawgs win BOTH!
Good Read MG!
I am going to disagree with one point…. "UGA no longer possessing NFL talent at QB".
I am predicting a minimum of one of our QB's makes an NFL roster in the next two years. Everyone has anointed Manning as NFL QB; I think chances are just as good for Stock or Pug given what we have seen of the three!
My “fearless” prediction - @Mike Griffith after game 3, Griffith will create a QB controversy and hope y’all fall for it.
Not in a bad way, but this is much like the articles written about Nick Saban and Bama in 2015-2018. Pundits attempting to find a loss on their upcoming schedule and relying on the absurd "law of averages" as their keystone. Kirby Smart is a honey badger...he don't care. Dawgs gonna hunt and eat at the expense of the poorly prepared and the overmatched. Oh, we'll get punched in the mouth some, but the talent, character and resilience of this group will provide the exciting results we want throughout our season. GO DAWGS!
I think Mike is wrong about the QBs. Puglisi is talented, but is still adjusting to the speed of the SEC. Gunner is versatile capable of throwing it 70+ yards if needed.
can he throw it over them mountains?
My fearless prediction: The short horns are gonna develop diabetes from having four cupcakes in a row. Then choke on the first maybe second realistic challenge ( opponent) they face.
CFB world will see that the short horns are over rated and your last name doesn’t necessarily make you a winner.
The 2025/2026 Dawgs are gonna lay some shock and awe on opposing teams and return to being the Elite Dawgs. Naysayers will have to get refills on their anxiety meds.
Go You Hairy Dawgs !!
I’m mostly with you Mike, but not buying the QB prediction unless Gunner gets injured. Kirby tends to stick with his starting QB even when it’s fairly obvious he should try the backup. I do agree that Pug has a rifle for an arm, but Kirby’s history says he sticks with Gunner unless he’s injured.
I dont see Branch having 1000 receiving yards..
2. Don’t see that happening with as many receivers Georgia has.
3. If that doesn’t happen, it’ll be another meh season offensively.
4. I disagree. A road loss is more likely.
5. I agree.
too many mouths to feed I agree but if anyone can stack up some chunk plays it’s Branch.
Not that I really care much about votes. But just curious why a down vote from a DAWGS fan on my earlier comment ? Can’t figure out the reason a Dawgs fan would down vote my comment. I can easily see why a TX fan would. Or a troll. Anyway doesn’t really matter. Is it a Bad thing to be optimistic about our Dawgs ? And even if I’m seeing things through red&black glasses it makes Me smile as a fan, is that a bad thing ? It’s very difficult for me to start a season with a doom and gloom attitude before the first snap of the season. Each to their own but I can’t see how a Dawgs fan can Enjoy the game coming in with a Oh No We’re Doomed Attitude.
I start every season with we’re gonna win the Ntl. Title, No not very realistic, but a heck of allot more fun !! Would be Great to get the Bama **** off our back with a win, and make a three in a row win streak vs TX. Go Dawgs !!
Yep I agree to only because as you stated to many mouths to feed. I’m glad we’re not thin at the position but If we were he might well accomplish that. Heck I hope he does With the to many mouths !! 😀
When your job is to write for Dawgnation you have to come up with something to say. Not sure I would've made the same predictions as MG.
If Puglisi plays a role it means that GS is probably hurt. I guess that is what MG meant. BUT in that case the role would more likely be to play out the string of a non playoff team. It all rides on GS this season.
I do not see Branch gaining 1000 yards receiving. All purpose yards including returns? Maybe. As some have said "too many mouths to feed". My original thought was, Branch is an excellent returner. Unless UGA is going to curtail his return usage, Branch is too small to take a heavy load at WR and returner. Staying healthy will be difficult for him.
200 yards/game rushing also seems very ambitious. The UGA OL has not lived up to their individual rankings. McCray and RRob are not going to be breaking off long runs. Frazier will need his number of carries monitored. His running style is to hit the designed hole at full speed then look around for daylight. Not conducive to slipping hits.
Home win streak has to end sometime. The '25 schedule is a tough one.
SEC championship game all depends on the QB. IF GS call pull off a season somewhere between '23 CBeck and '24 CBeck then UGA can make the SECCG.
