What is the story about?

The Georgia Bulldogs play the Arkansas Razorbacks at noon ET on Saturday, Sept. 19, at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The Georgia-Arkansas game will be televised on ABC.

No. 2 Georgia (2-0, 0-0 SEC) plays Arkansas (1-1, 0-0 SEC) in the SEC opener for both teams. Georgia has not faced a Power Four opponent yet this season, while Arkansas is coming off their first game against a formidable opponent. Last week, Utah outscored Arkansas 22-0 in the second quarter en route to a 43-10 win over the Razorbacks. To add insult to injury, the Razorbacks did not return home until the early hours of Sunday morning.

"Humility is always a week away," Georgia coach Kirby Smart said ahead of the Arkansas game. "It's a tough environment

for regardless of where you play in the SEC."

Georgia is back-to-back defending SEC champions and while Arkansas has not won an SEC game since 2024, so the game is a mismatch on paper. However, Arkansas has the advantage of playing at home and will be very motivated to play better than last week.
