2022 National Champions Georgia Bulldogs will be up against the Ball State Cardinals in week 2 of the 2023 College football season.
Georgia has won back-to-back championships in the past two years and will now be looking for a possible three-peat this season. On the other hand, the Ball State Cardinals had a disappointing 5-7 record in 2022 and they will be hoping for a better campaign this year.
The Bulldogs kicked off their 2023 campaign by dismantling the Tennessee-Martin Skyhawks 49-7. Even without most of their starters present on the field, the Georgia Bulldogs displayed their caliber and proved why they went on to be back-to-back national champions.
Meanwhile, the Ball State Cardinals did not have a great start to their 2023 campaign. In their first game against the Kentucky Wildcats, they lost 44-14, which will certainly be a blow to their motivation while facing the No.1 ranked Georgia. If they want to have any success against such a tough opponent, then both the offense and defense will have to be at the top of their game.
Given below is everything you'll need to gear up for the Ball State vs Georgia game of week 2.
