The 1942 Georgia Bulldogs football team represented the University of Georgia during the 1942 college football season. This season was played during World War II, and many of Georgia's players were called to serve in the military, affecting the team's performance.
Despite these challenges, the Bulldogs finished the season with a record of 6-3 and a Southeastern Conference (SEC) record of 3-2, placing them in fourth in the conference standings. The team was led by head coach Wally Butts, who was in his third season as the Bulldogs' head coach.
The team's key players included quarterback Johnny Rauch, who was later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame, and running back Harry Babcock, who rushed for over 800 yards during the season.
One of the highlights of the season was a 34-0 shutout victory over the Florida Gators in the annual rivalry game, commonly known as the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party.
Overall, the 1942 Georgia Bulldogs football team played admirably despite the challenges of the war, and their season is remembered as a testament to the resilience of the team and the university during a difficult time in history.
