For the fourth time in five seasons, the Georgia Bulldogs’ first SEC game is a road game.

The Bulldogs won the first three, including against South Carolina in 2018, and are heavily favored to win in Columbia on Saturday. That’s a fair assumption, but then again, there are those so-called “trap” games that show up on football schedules.

The Bulldogs, playing their first game this season while ranked No. 1, will face a motivated South Carolina team coached by a former UGA assistant.

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