Georgia has moved Saturday’s game against Middle Tennessee to a noon start due to the threat of Hurricane Florence, the university announced Thursday morning.
The game will be televised on ESPN News. Originally, the game had been scheduled in the preseason for a 7:15 p.m. kickoff. Due to the change, Georgia will play its first noon game at Sanford Stadium since 2016.
This is the second time in the past three seasons that a hurricane has caused Georgia to reschedule a game. In October 2016, a game at South Carolina was moved to Sunday due to Hurricane Matthew’s landfall.
