UGA Football: Breaking Down the 2020 Schedule for the Dawgs

ATHENS —— Georgia will face three teams ranked in the Coaches’ Pre-Season Top 25 poll in its revised 2020 football schedule, according to an announcement Monday evening by the Southeastern Conference.

The Bulldogs will play Oct. 17 at #3 Alabama, Nov. 7 against Florida in Jacksonville and Oct. 3 at home against #11 Auburn.  The latter game is one of just four home contests for Georgia, the fewest in Athens since a 3-year stretch from 1965-67, when the college football season consisted of a 10-game regular season.  Additionally, every SEC game in the previously announced schedule for Georgia has found a new date.  That includes the annual clash with Florida in Jacksonville, which for the first time since 1991 will not be played on its traditional weekend of late October/early November.

A breakdown of the schedule follows:
Sept. 26 at Arkansas:  As announced earlier Monday by the SEC, the Bulldogs will travel to Arkansas for their season opener on Sept. 26.  Georgia leads the all-time series with Arkansas by a 10-4 margin.  The two programs last met six years ago, when the Bulldogs prevailed 45-32 in Little Rock on Oct. 18, 2014.  Their last meeting in Fayetteville occurred in the 2009 season, when Georgia won 52-41.  The 2020 game will mark the Division I head coaching debut of Arkansas’ Sam Pittman, who spent the previous four seasons at Georgia, the first three as the offensive line coach and the final year as Associate Head Coach in charge of the offensive line.
