Mystery solved! It is the Sewanee Tigers!

I was able to find the yearbook that that photo came from (1985 GW The Gale - page 120).

https://archive.org/details/gale1985geor/page/120/mode/1up

Tried to do a process of elimination of opponents from 1984 AND 1983 (just in case) and it is NOT any of these teams:
Baptist, Emory & Henry, Kentucky Wesleyan, Millsaps, Samford & Tarleton State.

So that left the remaining:

Albany State - no
(I found yearbooks for the Rams for 1985 and 1983.
They wore a solid royal blue helmet with no logo and white face mask.
I'm pretty sure the mystery helmet is not them!)

Albany State Yearbooks
https://dlg.usg.edu/records?collection_record_id=alq_yearbook&f%5Bsubject_facet%5D%5B%5D=Albany+State+College--Students--Yearbooks&only_path=true

Miles - possibly! Could not find yearbooks, student newspapers OR schedule. Frustrating!

However, I the mystery helmet belongs to...

Sewanee! YES!

1985 yearbook was of some help
https://dspace.sewanee.edu/items/0b582c82-1e15-406e-94d8-1d3f618fd300
(page 102 - photos are not of good quality)

but here, the 1983 yearbook, is where it came together! Check out the lower-right helmet photo on page 156!

Thanks for posting David H.!
