Georgia vs. Kentucky: Gameday Central

Palmber-Thombsby: Palmer Thombs10/07/23palmerthombs

ATHENS, Ga. — It’s the first Saturday in October, and fall is in the air in Athens. Top-ranked Georgia hosts No. 20 Kentucky in a battle between undefeated SEC East squads with positioning in the division on the line.

“With that, I also want to mention this week’s game against Kentucky. Which is, obviously, a huge game at night,” Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said on Monday. “The team is going to be wearing the green decals, calling the attention to mental health week, which is going on this week. And we’re in partnership with Hilinski’s Hope. Student-athlete mental health has become a huge issue, and we deal with it day in and day out with our players. I certainly think it’s more prevalent now than it’s ever been before, so we’ll acknowledge that with those decals. They’ll be part of the uniform Saturday night.

“Looking forward to playing a really physical Stoops team. Every time we play these guys, they’re physical. When Coach Richt was here, it was physical. Kentucky-Georgia is just a physical, physical football game. Because they brand their football behind that, and so do we. I have a lot of respect for Coach Stoops and the program he’s built and the job they’ve done.”

Kickoff time to this game is set for 7:00 p.m. ET on ESPN. But before kickoff, here’s everything you need to know about the matchup of Dawgs and Cats…
