Georgia’s run of survive-and-advance games doesn’t start at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Dec. 1.
It had been the wide-ranging and logical assumption ever since an image of the SEC Championship site stood off in the distance as players answered questions at the conference’s preseason media event.
It was the Bulldogs’ first goal, to get back to the place it had beaten Auburn 28-7 to claim its first conference title in 2005. It would also be where Georgia fell to Alabama in the national title game 26-23 five weeks later — but that’s a different story.
Well, now Georgia needs one more stop.
