Georgia football insider Roddy Nabulsi offered a sharp assessment of the Bulldogs’ 2025 outlook, pointing to quarterback Gunnar Stockton’s poise and mobility as assets in replacing Carson Beck. He detailed Georgia Tech’s decision to host its rivalry game with Georgia at Mercedes-Benz Stadium for financial upside and noted the growing challenge of NIL revenue sharing, where programs like Texas and Ole Miss wield deeper checkbooks. While Kirby Smart’s roster lacks the household names of past title runs, Nabulsi stressed that the talent pool remains strong, with home dates against Alabama, Texas, and Ole Miss giving Georgia a direct path to the playoff conversation.
