ESPN announces kickoff times for Georgia football vs. UAB, South Carolina

ESPN has announced kickoff times for Georgia football’s home matchups with UAB and South Carolina.

ESPN has announced kickoff times for Georgia football’s season opener versus UAB on Sept. 11, along with its Sept. 18 matchup with South Carolina.

Georgia versus UAB in Sanford Stadium will kickoff at 3:30 p.m. on ESPN2, and South Carolina at Georgia will kickoff at 7 p.m. on ESPN.

Yesterday, CBS Network announced the kickoff time for Georgia-Florida. The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party will begin at 3:30 p.m. on CBS.

As far as stadium capacity goes, Georgia plans on a full stadium this fall. UGA athletic director Josh Brooks spoke to the athletic board on Thursday.

“We are committed, we are excited, to have full capacity in the fall”

 

Georgia vs Clemson season-opener to be played in full stadium

Georgia vs Clemson, UGA football’s season-opener, will be played in a full stadium, according to the Carolina Panthers tema president.

For the first time since the 2019 season, Georgia football will play a game in a full stadium.

Carolina Panthers team president Tom Glick announced on Monday that Bank of America Stadium, home of the Panthers, will operate at full capacity this fall.

That includes Georgia’s week one matchup against Clemson in Charlotte.

“I’m happy to confirm that we will be operating here at Bank of America Stadium at full capacity and under normal circumstances for the 2021 football season,” Glick said. “It will include East Carolina-Appalachian State and Georgia-Clemson.”

Bank of America stadium holds 75,523 people when at full capacity. That’s still nearly 20,000 less than Georgia’s Sanford Stadium, but it’s a full stadium nonetheless.

Glick also mentioned that attendees will not be required to wear masks and will not need to show proof of vaccination. He also said there will be no temperature checks. Though masks are not required, they will be available for anyone who wants one.

Georgia vs Clemson is scheduled to kickoff on September 4 at 7:30 p.m. ET and will air on ABC.

Georgia football adds another nonconference opponent to 2028 schedule

UGA football has scheduled another nonconference opponent for the 2028 season. Details and outlook here.

Georgia football has been busy lately with future nonconference scheduling. Last month the Bulldogs added Louisville for a home-and-home series for 2026 and 2027 and now, UGA has added a game against Florida A&M that will go down on Sept. 9, 2028 in Athens.

The HBCU and will become a full member of the Southwestern Athletic Conference this fall and although the Rattlers are a FCS school, Georgia will have to be ready for anything with how the schedule sets up in 2028.

UGA will open the season at Texas and then a week after the newly added game versus Florida A&M, who went 9-2 in 2019, will face Florida State in Athens.

Georgia leaves Lexington with list of injuries headed into matchup with Florida

Georgia had several key injuries during Saturday’s game vs. Kentucky. Details and analysis here.

Georgia defeated Kentucky 14-3 in an ugly game in Lexington.

Star running back Zamir White was one of the bright spots from a mistake-ridden Georgia performance. He totaled 136 yards on 26 carries and a touchdown.

The Bulldogs passing game was nonexistent behind quarterback Stetson Bennett, he completed 9 of 13 passes for 137 yards and two costly interceptions on drives that would have likely yielded points.

Georgia kicker Jack Podlesney had his only field goal attempt botched by a bad snap and to top the mishaps off,  star safety Richard LeCounte dropped a potential pick-six.

All of these aspects can be improved, but what is concerning is the fact that Georgia’s defense suffered some critical injuries ahead of its huge matchup with Florida next week.

Just take a look at the injuries here:

  • DT Jordan Davis (undisclosed)
  • DT Julian Rochester (undisclosed)
  • LB Quay Walker (undisclosed)
  • DB D.J. Daniel (ankle/foot)
  • DB Lewis Cine (ankle/foot)

Plus mike linebacker Monte Rice missed some time but would later return to finish out the game.

Let’s hope these guys can recuperate and be ready for the Gators, but Jordan Davis was in a sling on the Georgia sideline, which definitely does not look good for his chances to be ready next week. Truly a big blow as Davis is one of the most critical pieces of this Bulldogs front.

On a positive note, guys like freshman defensive tackle Jalen Carter and defensive back Tyrique Stevenson showed some great promise when they more got chances to play among all of the injuries.

We know the Bulldogs’ defensive depth is among the best in the nation and it will be tested by Kyle Trask and a Florida offense averaging 40 points per game.

 

 

Watch: Kentucky appears to fake an injury during 4th quarter Georgia drive

UGA was set to attempt a 4th down when a Kentucky defender appeared to go down as a tactic to slow the Bulldogs down. Watch it here

Georgia currently leads Kentucky 14-3 late in the fourth quarter, after some mistakes by the Bulldogs allowed the Wildcats to hang around.

Georgia was set to attempt a 4th down and 5 from midfield when a Kentucky defender appeared to lay down as a tactic to slow the Bulldogs down.

This is one of the most blatant fake-injuries I’ve ever seen.

Watch it here:

There should be rules to keep things like this from happening. I’m all for protecting players and promoting defense, but acting like you are injured to get an offense off the field is laughable and bad for the sport.

 

Zamir White runs in 22-yard TD, Dawgs up 14-3

Georgia football RB Zamir White runs in a 22-yard TD on 4th and one, putting the Dawgs up 14-3 over Kentucky.

Zamir White capped off an excellent Georgia offensive drive with a 22-yard touchdown on fourth and one.

WATCH:

The drive was set up by a big 33-yard completion from Stetson Bennett to freshman tight end Darnell Washington.

Georgia looked great on their first drive of the second half and have seemed to get the kinks out offensively.  Georgia leads Kentucky 14-3 in the third quarter following the Zeus touchdown.

Halftime: UGA Twitter reacts to struggling Georgia offense

Georgia leads Kentucky 7-3 at the half. Here’s what UGA Twitter is saying about Georgia at halftime.

The Bulldogs lead Kentucky 7-3 at the half. Georgia opened the game great, rushing for 71 yards on the way to a rushing touchdown by quarterback Stetson Bennett.

Since then it’s been ugly. Kentucky has rushed for 82 yards on 39 carries and has held the ball for over 19 minutes on offense, highlighted by a 19-play scoring drive that took 10 minutes.

This Georgia offense has to get going for the Bulldogs to stay in the SEC East lead headed into the big matchup with Florida next week.
