The Georgia Bulldogs visit to Austin to take on the Texas Longhorns will be a primetime affair.
The SEC officially announced Monday that Georgia at Texas will kickoff at 7:30 p.m. ET/6:30 p.m. CT on ABC. If both teams win this weekend, the game at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium will be a matchup of two Top 5 teams.
This will be the first time the two schools have played each other since the 2019 Sugar Bowl, which Texas won 28-21 behind three San Ehlinger rushing touchdowns.
At SEC Media Days before the season started, Georgia head coach Kirby Smart gave a lot of respect to the SEC incoming Longhorns.
“When Texas and Oklahoma came into the conference, every schedule was going to get harder. I have a ton of respect for Sark and the job he does. We got to watch them play last year against several common opponents. We got to watch them play in the playoffs. They have a tremendous recruiting base. They do a tremendous job in recruiting, and that includes NIL.
They’re a big physical football team. They’re built like an SEC football team, so we’re looking forward to an opportunity to come play them. What a tremendous matchup that will be.” — Georgia coach Kirby Smart
Georgia hosts Mississippi State this Saturday, while the Longhorns head to Dallas for the Red River Rivalry against the Oklahoma Sooners.
