Georgia is on the brink of one of the most monumental seasons in its history, not just because of its loaded roster but also because of its golden opportunity to clinch a title for the third time in four years.
Georgia Is Heading Into A New Era Of College Football
The Bulldogs are entering a new era in college football, just like every other college football team. The College Football Playoffs are Expanding to 12 teams, and teams are changing conferences. One of those conferences, the SEC, is gaining two of the biggest powerhouses in college football in Texas and Oklahoma.
Georgia has a chance to be the first team to win the 12-team College Football Playoff and show dominance against their new conference rival, but they will be doing it without one of their key players.
Georgia Saw Andrew Paul Leave This Week
Running back Andrew Paul entered the transfer portal earlier in the week. Paul was a freshman last season for the Bulldogs, rushing for 129 yards and a score, but he was going to have a more significant role on this year’s team, so he decided to head elsewhere.
Due to the spring transfer portal SEC rules, an SEC player can’t transfer to another SEC school without sitting out a season. Paul is most likely heading out of the conference, and a possible school has been named.
Paul Is Set To Visit Michigan State
According to Matt Zenitz from 247sports.com, Paul will officially visit Michigan State from Saturday to Monday. Michigan State is heading into a new era of college football under new head coach Jonathan Smith. Smith coached Oregon State for the last six seasons and has had one of the best running backs in the game, Damien Martinez, for the previous two years.

Smith can produce running backs. If Paul decides to head there this upcoming season, it would be neat to see him join him.
