It’s time to kick off our previews of every single 2025 Georgia Bulldog opponent. We begin with a team that not only isn’t that familiar to Bulldog fans, but probably aren’t particularly familiar with each other: the Marshall Thundering Herd.
The Marshal Files
Location: Huntington, West Virginia
Home Stadium: Joan C. Edwards Stadium (capacity 30,475). Edwards Stadium is one of only two FBS stadiums named for women.
2024 record: 10-3, (7-1 Sun Belt)

Now, Marshall’s starting over.
