The 1895 Georgia Bulldogs football team completed the season with a 3-4-0 record, Georgia's first losing season. Georgia's entire student body consisted of 126 students.cite book |last=Reed |first= Thomas Walter |year= circa 1949 |location= Athens, Georgia |publisher = University of Georgia |title= History of the University of Georgia |chapter= Chapter XI: The Administration of Chancellor William E. Boggs Through the Session of 1898 |url= http://dlg.galileo.usg.edu/cgi-bin/ebind2html.pl/reed_c11?seq=27 |pages=p.1696 ] This was Georgia's first year in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association, a conference that it founded along with Alabama, Auburn, Georgia Tech, North Carolina and Vanderbilt. Georgia lost twice to North Carolina, the eventual winner of the SIAA in 1895, and played Alabama for the first time. This was the Georgia Bulldogs' first season under the guidance of legendary head coach Glenn “Pop” Warner.

It was in one of the 1895 games between Georgia and North Carolina that North Carolina completed the first recorded forward pass, even though the play was illegal at the time. According to John Heisman, the North Carolina quarterback was trying to punt the ball but, because the punt was about to be blocked, he threw the ball instead. Another North Carolina player caught the ball and scored a touchdown on a 70 yard play. Georgia coach Pop Warner complained to the referee that the play was illegal, however, the referee let the play stand because he did not see the pass.
