Georgia At Michigan
Article By: Georgia Bulldogs
The Georgia Bulldogs have firmly established themselves as one of the top programs in college football under head coach Dcane. The Bulldogs will look to continue their dominance in 2025, led by a defense that remains as formidable as ever. While they’ve lost some key players to the NFL, Georgia’s depth is remarkable, and they’ve reloaded with young stars.
Offensively, the Bulldogs return Carson Beck at quarterback, who has been steady in his development and should step into a leadership role with confidence. Beck has a talented receiving corps providing dynamic playmaking ability. The run game, led by Trevor Etienne , will be critical, as Georgia’s offensive line is one of the best in the country, capable of creating massive holes for their backs.
On defense, the Bulldogs are known for their aggressive, physical style, with an outstanding defensive line and linebacker corps. Players like Jalon Walker and Mikel Williams will be key to pressuring Michigan's quarterback and stopping the Wolverines' vaunted run game. With a secondary that is loaded with talent, Georgia’s defense has the potential to shut down any offense in the nation.
Michigan Wolverines
The Michigan Wolverines, led by head coach Phreak, are coming off another strong season and are looking to take the next step toward a national title. Michigan is a team that prides itself on balance—hard-nosed defense and a physical running game—yet they’ve shown the ability to air it out when needed. In 2025, the Wolverines have a battle to decide at the QB position before this huge match up.
Michigan’s offense revolves around its powerful running attack, led by Kalel Mullings, one of the top running backs in the country. Mullings , who has the ability to break free for long runs at any moment, will look to challenge Georgia’s defense. The Wolverines also have an offensive line that excels at creating space, which will be vital against Georgia’s physical front seven.
On defense, Michigan is a force to be reckoned with. Their defensive line is packed with talent, including Mason Graham and Josaiah Stewart, who will be tasked with getting to Beck and stopping the run. The Wolverines also have a deep and talented secondary, featuring Will Johnson, who will likely be called upon to shut down Georgia's explosive receiving threats.
Keys to the Game
Quarterback Play: Both teams boast elite quarterbacks in Beck and whoever Michigan starts. The winner of this battle could decide the game. Both quarterbacks are capable of leading their team to victory, but they’ll need to avoid turnovers and make big throws when it matters most.
Line of Scrimmage: Michigan’s offensive line will have its hands full with Georgia’s monstrous defensive front, while Georgia's offensive line will need to open lanes for their running backs against Michigan’s tough defensive line. Whichever team can dominate the line of scrimmage will likely control the game.
Big Play Ability: Both teams feature playmakers who can change the game in an instant. For Georgia, it’s tight end Oscar Delk, and for Michigan, it’s running back Kalel Mullins. Both teams will need to find ways to make big plays on offense, whether through explosive runs or aerial strikes downfield.
Defensive Adjustments: Both teams are known for their tough defenses. Michigan will need to contain Delk and shut down Georgia’s ground attack, while Georgia must figure out how to slow down Mullings.
Prediction
This game has all the makings of a classic. Both teams are loaded with talent on both sides of the ball, and the clash of styles—Georgia’s defense and running game against Michigan’s offense—will be fascinating to watch. Expect both teams to trade blows throughout the game, with each side having its moments of dominance.
Ultimately, Georgia’s defensive line and depth in the secondary will be the difference. They’ll make enough key stops against Mullings and force Michigan into some tough situations. While Michigan will keep it close, Georgia’s offense will be just enough to pull ahead in the second half, especially with Carson Beck hitting Oscar Delk for some crucial plays down the stretch.
Final Score Prediction: Georgia 31, Michigan 27
