The SEC moved to a 10-game schedule just for the 2020 season conference due to the pandemic. Georgia only managed to play nine games due to Vanderbilt having to cancel his game against the Bulldogs. Georgia went 7-2 during the regular season, with defeats against Alabama and Florida.
Georgia ended the 2020 season with a victory over Cincinnati in the Peach Bowl.

Bulldogs received a lot of good news during the month of January. Georgia learned that JT Daniels, Jordan Davis, James Cook and Zamir White would be returning for the 2021 season. Georgia saw Azeez Ojulari, Trey Hill, Tyson Campbell and Eric Stokes declare themselves in advance for the 2021 NFL Draft.
Offensive coordinator Todd Monken spoke ahead of the Peach Bowl victory about the excitement and potential of the Georgia team in the future.
I’m excited about the guys we have. I really like our team. I think our team does a great job collectively in the areas that they have in terms of game planning, in terms of bringing ideas to the table, ”said Monken. “Coaches want to get involved in their fields, contributing to the game plan. I happen to be the one who ends things and gives them the right to it.
“I am very excited about the progress of our team and our young players.”
The Bulldogs are expected to start the 2021 football season as one of the nation’s top-ranked teams, with many marking Georgia as the fourth team, behind Clemson, Alabama and Oklahoma. The opening game of Georgia’s 2021 football season against Clemson appears to be one of the most anticipated games of the season, given the recent success of both programs.
