Georgia will soon hit the road for the first time in the 2023 season. The Bulldogs travel to The Plains on September 30 to take on Auburn and the SEC announced that The Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry will kick off at 3:30 p.m. on CBS.

UGA’s last three games at Jordan-Hare Stadium all kicked off at 3:30 p.m. ET. The last time the Bulldogs got a different start time at Auburn was in 2015 and that one started at noon as the front-end of a CBS Doubleheader.

The first meeting between Georgia and Auburn took place in 1892 and the two programs have squared off 127 times in all. Due to a great deal of recent success, UGA has taken control of the all time series with a record 63-56-8. As recently as a decade ago the all-time point differential in this series was in the single digits, but the Bulldogs have won six in a row, 10 of the last 11, and 18 of the last 21. Each of those three wins over the past 21 years, however, have come at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Auburn’s last win over Georgia was a memorable one. The Bulldogs traveled Southwest to take on their old rival in November of 2017 as the No. 1 team in the country. Auburn owned the day, winning the game 40-17. Kirby Smart and company got revenge less than a month later when the two teams squared off in the SEC Championship game, the only such meeting between the two schools. UGA took down the Tigers 28-7 to win its first SEC title in 12 years and secure a spot in the College Football Playoff.

Auburn is 3-0 in Huge Freeze‘s first season as head coach with wins over UMass, Cal, and Samford. It will take on Texas A&M this Saturday at 12 p.m. ET on ESPN. Georgia is ranked No. 1 and also 3-0 on the year with wins over UT-Martin, Ball State, and South Carolina. The Bulldogs will host UAB this Saturday with kickoff set for 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2. The matchup between the Bulldogs and Tigers will mark the first time the two teams have ever played in the month of September.
