Due to Florida’s Covid-19 outbreak, the SEC has altered Georgia’s remaining schedule, moving the Kentucky game.
The game was originally scheduled for Oct. 24, instead the Bulldogs will now face Kentucky on Oct. 31.

The news comes two days since the cancellation of Saturday’s game between Florida and LSU, after the Gators announced 18 scholarship players tested positive for the Covid-19 virus.
Georgia was set for an off-week the week of Oct. 31, a week before its matchup with Florida Nov. 7, but with the schedule shift, the Bulldogs’ week off is now set for next week Oct. 24.
The SEC’s move gives Florida the next two weeks off before their matchup with Georgia in Jacksonville.
If the League is going to shuffle schedules like this every time a team has an outbreak, I wonder how far it goes before games are added to the end of the season, completely jumbling the entire conference-only schedule.
