TV network, kickoff time announced for Georgia’s home game vs. Auburn

Kickoff time and TV network announced for Georgia vs. Auburn on Oct. 8 in Athens.

On Saturday, Oct. 8, the Georgia Bulldogs will host the Auburn Tigers in the 127th edition of the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry.

The game in Sanford Stadium is scheduled to kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET and will be televised by CBS. That Saturday will be a doubleheader day for CBS; the network is televising Texas A&M at Alabama at 8 p.m.

That will be Georgia’s next home game. The Bulldogs travel to Columbia, Missouri, to take on the Missouri Tigers this coming Saturday.

Georgia is 4-0 and ranked No. 1. Auburn is 3-1; its only loss was to Penn State. The Tigers survived a scare this past weekend against Missouri in a game that went to overtime after a wild ending to regulation.

 

This Saturday, both Georgia and Auburn have night games against SEC competition. UGA visits Missouri for a 7:30 kickoff on the SEC Network, and Auburn hosts LSU at 7 p.m. on ESPN.

Georgia and Auburn played for the first in 1892. Georgia leads the series 62-56-8 and is on a five-game winning streak. Since 2006, UGA has won 14 of the 17 meetings.
