The no. 2-ranked Georgia Bulldogs will visit SEC opponents Alabama Crimson Tide, ranked no. 4, on Saturday for one of the most anticipated NCAAF games of the weekend. Both teams are currently undefeated this season and the specter of former Alabama head coach Nick Saban looms large over the game, with his successor, Kalen DeBoer, leading the Crimson Tide, and his protegé and former Alabama assistant coach, Kirby Smart, now serving as head coach of the Bulldogs. This weekend’s game marks the first meeting between the two teams since DeBoer started. Saban, who left his job as head coach in Alabama to become a host of ESPN’s College GameDay, will also be on campus filming that week’s episode. ESPN’s college football pregame show will film at the University of Alabama’s campus starting at 8 a.m. with Saban and his co-hosts Desmond Howard, Rece Davis, Pat McAfee, Kirk Herbstreit and Lee Corso previewing that week’s big games.
The Bulldogs will play the Crimson Tide on Saturday, Sept. 28, with the game airing on ABC and ESPN+. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. ET. Here’s how to watch Georgia vs. Alabama this Saturday.
