UGA football: ESPN sets Sugar Bowl broadcast crew

The fifth-ranked Georgia Bulldogs and the seventh-ranked Baylor Bears are facing off in the 2020 Allstate Sugar Bowl.

ESPN announced the 2020 Sugar Bowl broadcast crew: Sean McDonough, Todd Blackledge and Holly Rowe. The crew will be on-hand for the game between the fifth-ranked Georgia Bulldogs and the seventh-ranked Baylor Bears.

Georgia is back in the Sugar Bowl after falling to Texas last season in the same game. Kirby Smart and the Dawgs will look to bring home a win this time around. There’s a late 8:45 P.M. kickoff for this New Year’s Day game.

It should be a fun one. Baylor had the best defense in the Big 12 and Georgia had the best defense in the SEC. Expect a slugfest.

The Georgia Bulldogs checked in fifth in the final College Football Playoff rankings. Georgia will play seventh-ranked Baylor in the 2020 Allstate Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. The game will be another late night kickoff: 8:45.

Both Georgia and Baylor lost in their respective conference championship games. The Baylor Bears put up more of a fight than Georgia did, but ultimately fell to Oklahoma 30-23 in overtime. Baylor will be very motivated for the Sugar Bowl, which is their best bowl game in a couple of years. The Bears lost in the 2015 Cotton Bowl to Michigan State and the 2014 Fiesta Bowl in their two most recent New Years’ bowl games.

Georgia must circle the wagons after their 37-10 blowout defeat in the SEC Championship to Joe Burrow and LSU’s unstoppable offense. Several NFL Draft-eligible Bulldogs (Andrew Thomas, D’Andre Swift) may sit out the game. Kirby Smart must get the team more motivated than last season and start a more successful 2019-2020 off-season the right way: with a win over Baylor.

Last season, Georgia lost in the SEC Championship to Alabama, finished fifth in the final College Football Playoff rankings and then lost to Texas 28-21 in the Sugar Bowl. It’d feel like the Dawgs made progress if they won the Sugar Bowl this time.
