Join us as we count down the days until Georgia kicks off in Atlanta!

There are 59 days until Georgia football kicks off versus Virginia in Atlanta on Sept. 7.

Instead of spotlighting No. 59, let’s take a look back at Georgia’s 1959 football season.

Led by head coach, College Football Hall of Famer Wallace Butts, the 1959 Bulldogs football team went a perfect 7-0 in conference play, 10-1 overall and defeated Missouri in the Orange Bowl – their only loss to South Carolina (ACC) . They finished No. 5 in the AP Poll with star quarterback, future NFL Hall of Famer Frank Tarkenton as Georgia’s most valuable player.
