Oregon, Georgia officially agree to play in 2022 kickoff game

After inking two high-profile nonconference football series last week, the Oregon Ducks added yet another marquee matchup Tuesday when they officially agreed to play Georgia in the 2022 Chik-fil-A Kickoff game in Atlanta.

Dawgs247 and The Oregonian/OregonLive previously reported the two were discussing a matchup but that nothing had been finalized. On Tuesday Gary Stokan, president and CEO of Peach Bowl Inc., said the Pac-12 and SEC programs had officially agreed to play one another in a marquee matchup in Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

"Both coaches wanted to do it, and we got with the athletic directors and were able to put a deal together," Stokan told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
