What Will Georgia Football's First Test of the 2025 Season Be?

What Georgia's first test of the 2025 college football season will be.

The Georgia football team enters the 2025 season as one of the most dominant forces in college football, but every great team faces its first true moment of adversity. For the Bulldogs, that moment will come on September 13, 2025, when they travel to Knoxville to face the Tennessee Volunteers in their first SEC road game of the season.

New Quarterback on the Road: Stockton or Puglisi Make Their First Start

Adding another layer of intrigue and complexity to this early season test is that Stockton or Puglisi will be making their first career start in an SEC road game. With Georgia’s quarterback situation up in the air heading into the season, this will be the first time that either Stockton or Puglisi, two quarterbacks with great potential will experience the pressure of playing in one of college football’s toughest environments.

Communication Will Be Key: Adjustments and Checks in the Huddle

One of the challenges Georgia will face in this SEC road game is the difficulty of communication. Whether it’s the offense trying to check out of plays or the defense making real-time adjustments, the crowd noise in Neyland Stadium will make it incredibly difficult for players and coaches to communicate effectively. Quarterbacks and offensive linemen will need to rely on hand signals and visual cues to make quick decisions, while the defensive players must be able to communicate their coverage adjustments and blitzes despite the overwhelming noise. This will be a true test of Georgia’s ability to adapt and execute under pressure, and it will be fascinating to see how the team handles this adversity.

The challenge of winning in a hostile environment with so many inexperienced players stepping up for key roles will be the ultimate gauge of where the Bulldogs stand as they aim for another championship run.

Conclusion: A Defining Moment for Georgia’s 2025 Season

As the Bulldogs take on Tennessee in their first true SEC road game of the 2025 season, it will be a defining moment for this new Georgia team. How they handle the adversity of a tough road environment, the challenges of communication and the pressures of playing in their first SEC contest will set the tone for the remainder of the season.
