Twenty-five members of the Dawgs who have played during the streak have been selected in the NFL draft. The 25 players selected in the 2022 and 2023 drafts are the most for one team in a two-year span in the common draft era (1966 to present).

During the streak, Georgia is 11-0 against AP nationally ranked teams and 6-0 against teams ranked in the top 10. The Bulldogs have scored 30 or more points in all but one of those 11 games against ranked opponents.

Georgia has outscored opponents by an average of 39.9 to 14.8.

Georgia has not trailed in 16 games during the streak. Of the 13 comeback wins, the Dawgs have trailed in the second half only six times.

Here is a breakdown of Georgia's point totals during the streak:
Scored fewer than 20 points: 1
Scored 21-29: 4
Scored 31-39: 9
Scored 40-49: 10
Scored 50+: 5

Allowed 0-9 points: 8
Allowed 10-19: 10
Allowed 20-29: 9
Allowed 30+: 2

Not exclusively for the 29-0 streak but for naysayers saying we've played an easy schedule the last 3 seasons...

SIAP...

quote:

In the last three seasons Georgia has thus far played: ——-

(‘21)
#3
#8
#18
#11
#3
#2
#1 ——

(‘22)
#11
#1
#14
#4
#3 ——-

(‘23)
#20
#12
#9
#18

Their resulting record? Twice as many national championships as loses.

If you're the parent of a highly rated recruit, this is a HUGE selling point. And to boot, Kirby has managed to get these guys to the NFL without constant playing time like a lot of other programs will try to sell to recruits.

You come in and you practice hard, you compete for playing time, and even when you win, you may not see the field on every down. We don't build 'stars', we build highly-trained, selfless football machines who know how to win on the biggest stages.

Granted, NIL certainly plays a role but, if I were a parent who truly thought their kid was NFL-bound, UGA has the proven track record to make that a reality.

ETA: Great notes, Rex. Thanks!
