Another SEC road game, another afternoon kickoff for the Bulldogs.
The SEC on Monday announced its television plans for the games of Saturday, Nov. 8, and, once again, Georgia drew the early-afternoon slot. The No. 9-ranked Bulldogs (6-1, 4-1 SEC) will kickoff against Kentucky (5-2, 2-3) at noon in a game that will be televised by ESPN.
It will mark the Bulldogs’ third game on ESPN this season. They’re 2-0 in the other two games played against Clemson at 5:30 p.m. on Aug. 30 and against Tennessee at noon on Sept. 27. Georgia’s all time record on ESPN is 32-30-1.
The Bulldogs have shown an affinity for playing in the sunshine this season. They’re latest kickoff in the last three games was 4 p.m. (3 p.m. CT) against Arkansas on Oct. 18 and they’ve won those three contest by an aggregate score of 123-49. Georgia has not played a night game all season.
CBS had an 8 p.m. slot available for the Nov. 8 slate of games but that went to Alabama at LSU. Texas A&M at Auburn was chosen as the CBS 3:30 p.m. game.
Presbyterian at Ole Miss (noon), UT-Martin at Mississippi State (4 p.m.) and Florida at Vanderbilt (7:30 p.m.) will all be carried on the SEC Network that day.
