The Georgia Bulldogs will open their season against the Arkansas Razorbacks on Sept. 26 at 4 p.m. The game will be televised on the SEC Network.
It will be a reunion between Kirby Smart and Sam Pittman, Georgia’s former offensive line coach, who will make his debut as head coach for Arkansas.
Historically, Georgia is 10-4 against the Razorbacks. The Bulldogs won their previous trip to Little Rock, Arkansas, 45-32. UGA has won seven of its last eight against Arkansas (lone defeat was in 2010). Georgia defeated Arkansas 30-3 in the 2002 SEC Championship Game.
In addition to the season opener against Arkansas, Georgia’s kickoff time against the Auburn Tigers has been set for 7:30 p.m. The Oct. 3 home opener at Sanford Stadium will be a night game, but without the normal electric environment.
The Auburn game will be televised on ESPN. It will be the 125th edition of the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry. Georgia leads the all-time series 60-56-8 over the Tigers.
Smart and UGA have defeated Auburn in the teams’ past three games. Georgia won 21-14 at Auburn last season and hasn’t lost to the Tigers in Athens since 2005.
The Bulldogs have won eight of the last 10 games in the rivalry.
