Georgia and Auburn relegated to an early slot
It’s the latest sign of how far in stature Georgia and Auburn have fallen this season.
Georgia’s visit to Auburn on Nov. 14 is slated for a noon kickoff, the SEC announced on Monday. The game will be broadcast on CBS.
The two programs are used to playing night or 3:30 games on most years. But this is not most years: Georgia is 5-3 heading into this Saturday’s game against Kentucky – another noon game – while Auburn is 4-4 going into Saturday’s game at Texas A&M.
The last time Georgia and Auburn met at Jordan-Hare Stadium the result was a classic, though one Georgia fans would rather forget. A hail-mary throw from Nick Marshall was tipped by Georgia and Auburn receiver Ricardo Louis received it for the game-winning touchdown. Last year Georgia routed Auburn, 34-7.
