The 1896 Georgia Bulldogs football team represented the Georgia Bulldogs of the University of Georgia during the 1896 college football season. The team competed as a member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) and provided Georgia with its first undefeated season, compiling a 4–0 record and defeating North Carolina for the first time. The Bulldogs were co-champions of the SIAA with LSU, who joined the conference in 1896.[1] This was the Georgia Bulldogs' second and final season under the guidance of legendary head coach Glenn “Pop” Warner who had continued as coach for a second season at a salary of $40 per week for ten weeks.[2] Georgia did not win another conference championship until the 1920 season. Rufus B. Nalley and Richard Von Albade Gammon were both in the backfield, with Gammon at quarterback.[3] The conference was decided against the rivalry with Auburn, which featured Georgia's quarterback the following season Reynolds Tichenor at the same spot for the Tigers.
