Georgia faces its second consecutive road game on a Saturday that was supposed to be an off-day, but instead comes after an unexpected bye week caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Gone is Georgia’s week off before playing Florida, but the Gators don’t get the benefit of a week off either. One of the reasons that Georgia is playing Saturday is because the virus forced a postponement of a Florida game.

After Georgia was outscored 21-0 in the second half against No. 2 Alabama two weeks ago, it probably needed the time off to come when it did. The No. 5 Bulldogs should enter this game rested, which doesn’t bode well for the Wildcats, who will play without starting quarterback Terry Wilson.

One of Kentucky’s two wins this season is a 34-7 victory at Tennessee on Oct. 17. The Bulldogs defeated the Volunteers 44-21 the week before that.

Here is some important information regarding how to follow the action Saturday:
