The Georgia Bulldogs open their national title defense on Saturday against the Oregon Ducks in Atlanta.

ATLANTA — The Georgia Bulldogs are set to launch their national title defense this afternoon in high-profile fashion, with the Oregon Ducks visiting Atlanta for the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game.

The Dawgs are plenty accustomed to playing in Mercedes-Benz Stadium - it's just usually at the end of the season. 

This is UGA's first time in the Chick-fil-A sponsored opener since 2016, and their first time ever playing it at the Benz - that 2016 game against North Carolina was at the Georgia Dome.

It's well-known that Georgia lost much of its title-winning team to the NFL Draft, but they've still got plenty of firepower on both sides of the ball, including seven players who were ranked in ESPN's top 100 players across college football for this season.

Stetson Bennett, Brock Bowers and returning defensive stars such as Jalen Carter and Kelee Ringo will have a nice opportunity in the form of the No. 11 Ducks to show the Dawgs are still on top.
