The 1941 Georgia Bulldogs football team represented the Georgia Bulldogs of the University of Georgia during the 1941 college football season. Early in the season, halfback Frank Sinkwich suffered a broken jaw, and had to play with his jaw wired shut and a large jaw protector attached to his helmet.[1] Despite this Sinkwich was selected All-American, leading the Bulldogs to an Orange Bowl victory. The 19–3 victory over Florida included from Sinkwich a 22-yard touchdown run, a field goal (the first for Georgia since 1924), and another 1-yard score.[2]
