ATHENS- No. 2 UGA Football’s kickoff time against the No. 19 Ole Miss Rebels has been set for 3:30 PM EST on ABC.

Kirby Smart Georgia’s fourth and final road game of the season will come next weekend on Nov. 9. All three of Georgia’s previous road matchups at Texas, Alabama and Kentucky were 7:30 PM EST kickoffs. This game was one of the flex kicks, meaning that it could have been a night game. Instead, Disney opted to make Alabama-LSU the primetime kickoff on that date- a matchup that has traditionally been played at night over the years.

Georgia faced Ole Miss in a ranked matchup in Athens last season. The Dawgs routed the Rebels 52-17 on the back of a strong performance from both Kendall Milton and Daijun Edwards. The last time Georgia played in Oxford was in 2016, and Ole Miss won that game 45-14.

Aiming To Be Elite Against One Tough Slate

The Bulldogs opened the 2024 season ranked No. 1 in the AP and US LBM Coaches poll for the

third time in school history (2008, 2023). Georgia dropped to No. 2 in the AP poll after its 13-12 road win over Kentucky on Sept. 14 and remained there for another week before falling to No. 4 Alabama on Sept 28. Georgia checked in at No. 5 in the AP poll for the next three weeks until climbing to No. 2 on Oct. 21 after its road win over top-ranked Texas. Georgia was No. 1 in the US LBM Coaches poll until its first loss when it dropped to No. 5 and then moved up a spot to No. 4 for a couple of weeks before going up to No. 2. Currently, the Bulldogs are at No. 2 in both polls for the second straight week. The Bulldogs have the longest active streak of being ranked in the AP top 10 (59 straight polls).
