The 2024 Georgia Bulldogs football team represented the University of Georgia as a member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The team was led by ninth-year head coach Kirby Smart, who notched his 100th win as head coach during the season.
The Bulldogs went 11–3 and won the SEC Championship Game against Texas in overtime. After the end of the season with Georgia's loss to Notre Dame at the Sugar Bowl, Smart called the season "the toughest year of my tenure. Easily the toughest of my tenure." [1]

This was the fourth meeting between the Bulldogs and the Fighting Irish, [64] following a 2017 and 2019 home-and-home series where Georgia won both games. The two teams have previously met in the postseason just once, in the 1981 Sugar Bowl, which resulted in a 17–10 Georgia win. Though Georgia won all three previous meetings, each game was decided by seven points or less.
Quarterback Gunner Stockton (#14) started for the first time, as previous starting QB Carson Beck (#15) was recovering from surgery with plans for the NFL. [65] Tight end Oscar Delp (#4) told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that "we know how good of a quarterback he is. So I think we're really just excited for everyone else to finally get to see what he can do." [65]
The game was delayed from January 1 to January 2 after a truck attack that took place in the nearby French Quarter. [66]
The first score came on the fifth drive of the game; each team punted on their first drive, Georgia's second drive ended with a fumble at the Notre Dame 16-yard line, and Notre Dame punted for a second time before Georgia took a 3–0 lead on a 41-yard Peyton Woodring (#91) field goal. Notre Dame tied the game with a field goal of their own from Mitch Jeter (#98) on their following possession. After one additional Fighting Irish punt and two more from the Bulldogs, Notre Dame took their first lead with 39 seconds until halftime on another successful field goal by Jeter. On Georgia's next play, RJ Oben (#9) sacked Stockton as he was winding up to throw and Junior Tuihalamaka (#44) recovered for Notre Dame, leading to a touchdown pass from Riley Leonard (#13) to WR Beaux Collins (#5) and a 13–3 lead for the Fighting Irish at halftime. [67]
Notre Dame extended its lead on the opening kickoff of the second half, which was returned 98 yards for a touchdown by Jayden Harrison (#2). Georgia punted on 4th & 3 on their next drive, and the Irish went three-and-out in response. The Bulldogs pulled within ten points on a 5-play drive that followed, ending in a 32-yard touchdown pass from Stockton to Cash Jones (#32), but they were unable to score further. They turned the ball over on downs on each of their final two offensive possessions, while Notre Dame added a 47-yard Jeter field goal in addition to a turnover on downs. Ultimately, the Irish ran out the clock to earn a semifinal berth with a 23–10 victory. [67] Following the team's loss, Stockton opined that he "could’ve done better. Just knowing where the play clock is, and managing it is a big part of it"; linebacker Smael Mondon Jr. (#2) said, "As much as you want to, you're not going to win the national championship every single year".
