This Friday, the Georgia Bulldogs will play in a bowl game for the 24th consecutive year. Due to Virginia Tech opting out of the bowl season, the Bulldogs now own the nation’s longest bowl game streak. Georgia has a 32-21-3 all-time bowl record; the 32 wins are the third most of any school in the nation (Alabama, 42; USC, 34).

The 56 total bowl games (UGA counts the 2017 season as having two bowl games) are tied for the second most with Texas, with Alabama having played the most. The Bulldogs' first bowl game followed the 1941 season as Georgia won the 1942 Orange Bowl over TCU, 40-26. Last season, UGA defeated Baylor in the Sugar Bowl. Before Georgia tangles with Cincinnati in this season’s Peach Bowl, here's some information you may not have known.

As a player, Kirby Smart was 2-1 in bowl games; he played in the Peach Bowl twice (winning and losing to Virginia). As a coach, he's 3-2. How does that compare with other Georgia head coaches? Here's the complete list.

JT Daniels will be playing in the first bowl game of his collegiate career. The Trojans were 5-7 during his freshman season at USC. This will be Daniels’ fourth start for the Bulldogs, and he has already put up some impressive numbers.

Daniels’ nine touchdown passes in 81 pass attempts matches the totals of his two predecessors combined (Stetson Bennett IV, 8, and D’Wan Mathis, 1) in 103 fewer attempts.

Daniels’ completion percentage of 66.7 is currently the third highest in a season by a Bulldog, behind Hutson Mason’s 67.9 in 2014 and Jake Fromm’s 67.3 in 2018.

Daniels’ 10.36 yards passing per attempt is the second highest by a Bulldog, behind Matt Robinson’s 10.88 in 1974.

Here's a deeper look at the Bulldogs' current signal caller’s season, compared to what he did as a Trojan.

If you recall, in his first game for the Dawgs, he threw for 401 yards. Only two Bulldogs have ever thrown for 400 yards in a bowl game (Aaron Murray and Hines Ward).

From big passing numbers to big rushing numbers:

In the Bulldogs' last game, Georgia ran for 316 yards against Missouri. It was the second time the Dawgs ran for over 300 yards in a game this season, and the 11th time they have done it under Kirby Smart.

Four different players had a rushing touchdown against the Tigers. Zamir White has been the biggest benefactor in running the ball for the Dawgs this season. He has a touchdown in eight of nine games this season, and his total of ten this season is fourth most in the SEC. It's the tenth time since 2007 that a Georgia player has reached double-digits in touchdown runs. Prior to that season, no individual Bulldog reached ten touchdown rushes for eight consecutive seasons. Here are those ten impressive times.

With many of the Dawgs getting into the act in the game against Mizzou, my weekly Bulldog-by-quarter graphic got a little more interesting.

Through Tuesday’s bowl games, Cincinnati is currently ranked 20th in the nation in run defense. The Bearcats have allowed just over 122 yards per game on the ground this season. East Carolina ran for the most against Cincinnati, going for 206 yards, and in its last game, Cincinnati allowed 199 to Tulsa.

Georgia hasn't had a 100-yard rusher in a bowl game during the last three bowls (counting the CFP Championship). The last time Georgia achieved that, both Sony Michel (181) and Nick Chubb (145) did it against Oklahoma in the 2018 Rose Bowl.

Switching to receiving, Georgia has a chance to have three players with over 30 receptions this season. Kearis Jackson already has 33, while George Pickens’ 29 and Jermaine Burton’s 26 are nearing that total. What about Georgia players who have caught passes from JT Daniels? While Jackson leads overall, it's the other two who have shined the brightest the last three games, when Daniels took over.

In last season’s bowl game, Pickens tied a bowl record by a Bulldog with 12 receptions in the matchup against Baylor. The tie was with Hines Ward.

Turning to the defensive side, Georgia's run defense is excelling again this year. Last season, the Bulldogs led the nation in that category, allowing the fewest touchdowns on the ground (2). They also led the nation in fewest rush yards per game allowed, with 74.7. This season Georgia is even better, allowing just 69.3 (Oklahoma is second, allowing 90.6). The 69.3 yards is currently the team's fewest in a season, dating back to 1950. The current record is 72.5 yards rush yards per game, allowed back in 1981. Cincinnati is currently 14th in the nation in rush offense, averaging 225 yards per game.

In terms of pass defense, the Bulldogs have had their share of highs and lows. Check out how Georgia’s pass defense has fared in terms of pass yards allowed each season under Kirby Smart.

Georgia’s nine interceptions on defense is the most by Georgia since 2017. Eric Stokes, who recently opted out of the Peach Bowl, led the Bulldogs with four. That number is tied for the most by an individual in a season under Kirby Smart (Dominick Sanders in 2017 and Richard LeCounte in 2019 also had four).

On special teams, Georgia is averaging 31.3 yards per kickoff return. The Bulldogs are third in the nation in this category, trailing just Ohio and Air Force. The Dawgs average of 31.3 is currently the highest average in school history (26.6 is the record set in 1947).

Speaking of records, Jake Camarda is averaging 47.9 yards per punt this season. He's close to breaking Drew Butler’s team record of 48.1, which he set in 2009.
