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.
