Georgia traveled to Columbia, South Carolina, earlier this season, but the upcoming road matchup at LSU brings a hostile environment that no one on the team, other than the coaching staff, has experienced.
The Bulldogs haven’t played at Tiger Stadium in 10 years. Head coach Kirby Smart is one of the few who has experienced the stadium, or “Death Valley” as it’s known around college football. Smart played in the 1998 game between the two teams, when Georgia won, 28-27.
But the road trip is important for a few reasons. For one, it’s Georgia’s first against a top-15 team.
