ESPN commentators set for Georgia versus Auburn

ESPN has set the announcers for the Georgia Bulldogs versus Auburn Tigers college football game including Kirk Herbstreit & Chris Fowler

The Georgia Bulldogs will have their home-opener against the highly ranked Auburn Tigers this Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Kirby Smart and the University of Georgia are hosting a 1-0 Auburn team, who just defeated Kentucky 29-13 last week.

The Bulldogs come into their first game in Athens as a team looking for an offensive identity. Georgia was quite impressive on the defensive side of the football in their 37-10 victory over the Arkansas Razorbacks in week one.

The ESPN commentators for the prime time game are set. Chris Fowler will do the play by play and former Ohio State quarterback Kirk Herbstreit will be an analyst alongside Fowler. Alison Williams will handle of the sideline reporting in a reduced capacity Stanford Stadium environment.

Prior to the contest, ESPN’s College Football GameDay will be hosted live from Athens, Georgia. The Georgia versus Auburn game is the only top ten match-up this week and is the first of the season. The game is crucial for both teams. The loser will face an uphill battle in the SEC.

The SEC has another quality match-up this week in the Alabama versus Texas A&M game.

SEC football: week 13’s (soft) schedule, TV times

The Georgia Bulldogs versus the Texas A&M Aggies headlines an otherwise soft week 13 schedule for the SEC.

The SEC Championship race is formality at this point. The Georgia Bulldogs wrapped up the SEC East with a 21-14 win over the Auburn Tigers. The LSU Tigers only need a home win against the pitiful Arkansas Razorbacks to wrap up the SEC West. A Georgia-LSU SEC Championship Game will have serious playoff implications. Even in defeat LSU may still advance to the playoff. The same can’t be said for the Georgia Bulldogs.

This week, Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa suffered an injury that shocked the college football community. Tua is out for the season and the Crimson Tide need a little help to make the playoff.

Here’s the SEC’s week 13 schedule including TV times (central time) and networks. Note that these times are central. For instance UGA versus Texas A&M will have a 3:30 kickoff on CBS:

Georgia-Texas A&M is the best SEC game of the week. The Aggies put together an impressive 30-6 victory over the South Carolina Gamecocks yesterday. Georgia’s College Football Playoff hopes hang in the balance once again. The game will serve as an excellent barometer for the playoff. A&M will have played Clemson, Alabama, Georgia, Auburn, and LSU by the end of the season.

As for the rest of the SEC, the second best game is probably Missouri-Tennessee. There’s a lot of easy games for teams getting ready for rivalry week.
