TV, commentators set for Georgia vs Florida game

The Georgia Bulldogs play Florida at a familiar time on Saturday, but the television crew will be making their Georgia-Florida debut

The No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs play the unranked Florida Gators at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, Nov. 2 in Jacksonville, Florida. The Georgia-Florida game will be televised on ABC.

The television commentators for the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party are Rece Davis (play-by-play), Kirk Herbstreit (analyst), and Holly Rowe (sideline).

Georgia football is 6-1 and is 4-1 in SEC play. Florida is 4-3 and 2-2 in SEC action. Both Georgia and Florida had bye weeks in preparation for the Georgia-Florida game.

Georgia is favored by over two touchdowns against Florida, but the Gators have been playing much better recently. “I think they’re (Florida) playing their best football,” said Smart. “I think they’ve got a really talented roster.”

Both Georgia and Florida are coming off arguably their top performance of the season. Georgia defeated Texas 30-15 on the road in Week 8. Florida toppled Kentucky 48-20 in their most convincing performance of the season.

TV, commentators set for Georgia-Florida game

The Georgia-Florida game will be televised on CBS at 3:30 p.m. ET on Oct. 29.

The No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs face the unranked Florida Gators in the 101st game in series history. Georgia holds the all-time edge (54-44-2) over Florida.

Kirby Smart and Georgia have won four of their last five games against Florida. Smart is 4-2 in his Georgia coaching career against Florida. He will face first-year Florida head coach Billy Napier.

Florida (4-3) opened the season with an inspiring win over Utah. The Gators have lost momentum since and have lost three of their last four games against Power Five competition since the season-opener.

The Georgia-Florida game will be televised on CBS. The Oct. 29 contest will be played at 3:30 p.m. ET. The commentators for the game are Brad Nessler (play-by-play), Gary Danielson (analyst) and Jenny Dell (sideline reporter).

Florida would love to spoil Georgia’s undefeated season. The Gators need to string together a few wins to clinch bowl eligibility.

Both teams are coming off bye weeks. Georgia (7-0) and has been dominant outside a pair of closer-than-expected games against Missouri and Kent State.

Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett is 1-1 in his career against Florida. Bennett has 12 touchdowns and one interception this season.

Georgia football fans can listen to the radio broadcast of the Georgia-Florida game on WSB AM 750 via the Bulldog Network. Georgia’s radio team of Scott Howard (play-by-play), Eric Zeier (analyst) and DJ Shockley (sideline reporter) does a fantastic job of covering the Dawgs.

SEC announces football’s Week 9 TV schedule

The Georgia Bulldogs play the Florida Gators in Jacksonville on Oct. 29 at the usual 3:30 p.m. ET slot on CBS. What about the rest of the SEC?

The SEC has four of the top undefeated teams in the country: Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia and Ole Miss. The No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs (7-0) play the Florida Gators (4-3) on Oct. 29 at the usual 3:30 p.m. ET slot on CBS.

What are some of the conference’s other top games in Week 9?

No. 18 Kentucky plays at No. 4 Tennessee in the Volunteers’ final test before traveling to Athens to face the Georgia Bulldogs in Week 10. Will Tennessee and Georgia remain undefeated entering the Nov. 5 showdown?

Both Georgia and Tennessee will be favored in their respective SEC games ahead of the Week 10 clash. Tennessee faces Tennessee-Martin before hosting Kentucky, so the Volunteers will not have to leave Knoxville before making the road trip to Georgia. Georgia has a Week 8 bye before playing Florida in Jacksonville.

Another interesting game in Week 9 is the Ole Miss-Texas A&M game. Ole Miss could enter the game undefeated. The Rebels have some defensive deficiencies, but they have one of the best rushing offenses in the country. Can Texas A&M keep pace with the Rebels or slow them enough to make it a more defensive game? The Aggies have a great deal of talent, but don’t have many big wins this season. Texas A&M fans will be happy to have a night game against Ole Miss.

Additionally, the Week 9 SEC schedule features Arkansas-Auburn and Missouri-South Carolina.

CBS tabs Georgia football for two prime time games

Georgia football’s 2020 schedule is coming into place with two CBS prime time games against Florida and Alabama.

CBS has tabbed the Georgia Bulldogs for two prime time games throughout the 2020 college football season. University of Georgia fans will hope the Dawgs will play in a third (Dec. 19 SEC Championship Game).

Georgia’s two prime time games are: Georgia at Alabama on Oct. 17 and Georgia versus Florida on Nov. 7. Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs travel to Alabama for what is slated to be CBS’s prime time night game of the season with an 8 pm kickoff. Georgia faces Florida at the usual 3:30 pm time slot.

Georgia already knows its SEC-only schedule for the 2020 season. That being said, the Bulldogs don’t know the kickoff times for their remaining slate of contests.

The Georgia Bulldogs traveling to Tuscaloosa to play the Alabama Crimson Tide is anticipated to be the best SEC game in 2020. Will the match up live up to the hype? Georgia’s past couple of games against the Crimson Tide have been nail bitters.

The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party will have a different feel this year. Although it will be at the normal kickoff time the lack of fans and tailgating will be disappointing for many Bulldog and Gator die-hard fans.

Despite the circumstances, from a fans’ prospective, some college football is better than no college football. Here’s a look at the full schedule of prime time SEC games this season:

The Georgia Bulldogs open their season at the Arkansas Razorbacks on Sept. 26.
