Dates set for Georgia games against Alabama, Texas in 2024
Georgia knows its opponents for the 2024 football season, and now, the Bulldogs have a couple of dates set too. According to ESPN’s Chris Low, Georgia will take on both Alabama and Texas in the first half of its season. The trip to Tuscaloosa is set for September 28th while Austin is on the calendar for October 19th.
The two games are among the 12 “notable 2024 SEC matchups” Low has listed in story released Monday night. Others are included in the actual article.
Georgia last made the trip to Tuscaloosa during the 2020 COVID season, falling to the eventual National Championship winning Crimson Tide 41-24 after leading at halftime. The last trip to Austin came back in 1958 – their last regular season meeting – where Texas won 13-8.
Of course, it’s the first season of a new era in the SEC as Texas and Oklahoma join the league. Divisions also go away, and the SEC Championship Game teams will be determined instead by standings of all 16 teams.
