Night game when Bulldogs finally play at home again

ATHENS — The Georgia Bulldogs learned Monday that their next home game against Mississippi State will kick off at 7:30 p.m. and be televised on the SEC Network.

It will have been 42 days — or six weeks — since the Bulldogs’ last hosted a home game. Georgia defeated then-No. 14 Tennessee 44-21 the last time it was in Sanford Stadium on Oct. 10.

This will be Mississippi State’s first trip to Athens since 2017, when Georgia beat the Dan Mullen-coached Bulldogs 31-3. State (2-4) is now coached by Mike Leach. It had lost four in a row before hanging on for a 24-17 win Saturday over Vanderbilt. The Maroon Dogs were to play Auburn this Saturday, but that game has been postponed due to positive tests within the program. The game has been tentatively rescheduled for Dec. 12.

Georgia (4-2) dropped to No. 12 in the latest AP poll following its 44-28 loss to Florida in Jacksonville. The Bulldogs face Missouri (3-5) Saturday in Columbia, Mo.
