60 free Georgia Football trivia questions with answers — sports quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
40 free Georgia football trivia questions with answers. Georgia football is older than the SEC itself, and this quiz covers the whole run from Dr. Charles Herty's first team in 1892 to Kirby Smart's back-to-back national titles. Forty questions take in the hedges at Sanford Stadium, the Uga mascot line and the Seiler family, Wally Butts's silver britches, Frank Sinkwich and Herschel Walker's Heismans, Vince Dooley's 1980 champions, Larry Munson breaking his chair on 'Run Lindsay!', and Stetson Bennett going from walk-on to two-time champion. The rivalries get their due: the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry with Auburn, the Jacksonville game against Florida, and Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate with Georgia Tech. Easy questions ask what the mascot is called; hard ones want the year the hedges were pulled for the Olympics and the score of the 1927 upset that got Sanford Stadium built. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia's articles on the program, its coaches, players and traditions, and each question carries the sentence that supports it.
