Marshall Football is set to face the dominant Power Five Georgia Bulldogs in the 2025 season opener, Marshall Athletics announced on July 10.
Georgia has been known for many years as one of the most prominent powerhouses in Division I football. The Bulldogs won the 2023 College Football Playoff National Championship in a dominating fashion, dismantling the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs 65-7.
“This is who we want to be as a program – willing to line up with the best in the country,” said Christian Spears, Marshall’s director of athletics.
“College football is dramatically changing, and Marshall deserves to be in the conversation with the best of the best,” Spears said.
