Georgia-Vanderbilt game moved to ESPN from SEC Network

Here's a look at Georgia's 2019 football schedule.

Georgia’s season opener against Vanderbilt will be televised on ESPN, not the SEC Network, ESPN announced Thursday. The kickoff time will remain at 7:30 p.m.

The change was made because of Hurricane Dorian’s projected path toward Florida. The Boise State-Florida State game, scheduled for 7 p.m. in Jacksonville on ESPN, was moved to Tallahassee and will kick off at noon on ESPN News. That led to a shuffling of games on ESPN properties. The LSU-Georgia Southern game at 7:30 p.m. was moved to SEC Network from ESPNU.
