UGA to play Penn State in Jacksonville bowl

Georgia is headed back to Jacksonville, for a game against a team it hasn’t faced in 32 years.

Georgia and Penn State will match up in the Taxslayer (more commonly known as the Gator) Bowl on Jan. 2 at noon.

That means a coaching match-up between Georgia’s Bryan McClendon, who’s filling in on an interim basis, and Penn State’s James Franklin, in his second year after leaving Vanderbilt.
