Marshall vs Georgia: Last season recap
Marshall won the Sun Belt last season, but had to opt out of the Independence Bowl and a matchup with Army after former coach Charles Huff left for Southern Miss, and several players chose to transfer in response. Now, with the debut of Tony Gibson as the head coach, the Herd will be hoping to upset the reigning SEC champions.
For the Georgia Bulldogs, 2024 ended in a surprising 23-10 Sugar Bowl loss to Notre Dame. It was the last fixture for Carson Beck. The quarterback did not play in the matchup after suffering an injury in the SEC Championship Game against Texas. He then transferred to Miami ahead of the 2025 college football season.
The Bulldogs have given the under-center duties to junior Gunner Stockton. He appeared in five fixtures, including the Sugar Bowl, where he recorded 20-for-32 in the start with 234 yards and a touchdown pass.
