Georgia Football's annual spring game is Saturday, April 12th. Today, we take a look at the scrimmage might look and feel a bit different than normal.

As Georgia fans prepare to pack into Sanford Stadium on April 12th, 2025, for the annual G-Day spring game, there’s a growing sense that this year’s scrimmage might carry a slightly different flavor than in years past. With the game not being televised, there’s more flexibility for the coaching staff to open up the playbook, and fans could be in for a more revealing and exciting look at the 2025 Bulldogs.

Since the game won’t be broadcast nationally, the offense may lean into showing off a few more plays than usual. Typically, spring games are pretty vanilla, with coaches hesitant to put too much on film for future opponents. But with the cameras off, don’t be surprised if you see more creative play-calling, deeper shots down the field, or even some tempo-based looks that hint at adjustments to Georgia’s offensive identity heading into the fall.

On the defensive side, fans should keep their eyes on the front seven. You may see more blitz packages and twist stunts from the linebackers and defensive linemen, things that are usually kept under wraps in a spring setting. This game could be a chance for the staff to test out different pressure looks in live action, especially with younger players and starters getting valuable reps.

Perhaps the most intriguing element of this year’s G-Day will be in how both sides line up. Don’t be surprised if you see the defense testing new alignments, maybe a shift in base personnel or coverage shells that point toward scheme adjustments. On the flip side, the offense might roll out new formations that break from the traditional set, whether that’s new motions, bunch sets, or different backfield combinations.

All in all, G-Day 2025 might be more than just a glorified practice. With no TV cameras to worry about, Georgia’s coaching staff has the rare opportunity to dig a little deeper into the playbook, giving fans an early glimpse of what’s cooking in Athens. Keep your eyes open, this one might just have more wrinkles than usual.
