Georgia will play its 12th and final game of the 2022 regular season on Saturday. There’ll be many Bulldog games played between the hedges down the road but they won’t include quite a few current Georgia players.

It’s Senior Day in the Classic City where 22 players will be honored. Not all of those players have to leave but some who aren’t being honored will probably make the early leap. We’ll see where things stand when the dust settles.

For now, the UGA video team has released another well-done feature with the title “Dawgs for Life.” It’s just short of a minute and a half and doesn’t specify the narrator.

Georgia is favored by 36.5 points over its in-state rival. The Bulldogs have won the last four games in this series and they’ve done so in dominant fashion.

Bulldog players say that they’ve heard more about the history of this rivalry this week. It’s clear that Kirby Smart and his coaching staff are tapping into every possible resource to keep this team focused and energized.

The seventh-year head coach told reporters at the beginning of this week that this game is indeed still Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate for him. His players need to know what is at stake for those who have been a part of this program for a long time.

“Yeah, certainly it is,” Smart said when asked if this rivalry is still Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate for him. “I mean, it’s what this program’s biggest rivalry was many, many, many years ago when they were in the SEC. Our kids don’t know that history. They don’t know the history of this rivalry and what goes into it.

“It was a really big rivalry, you know, during Paul’s years here because of the triple option and playing something different and the physicality of the game, you know.And I think educating our players on that so they understand it — because it means a lot to our players in terms of what they want to achieve and they got to win this game to achieve those things. So making sure they understand that is really important. And teaching the history of that is important because it’ll mean something to the Georgia Tech players and the Georgia players 20/30 years from now.”
