TV, kickoff time set for Georgia vs. Mississippi State game

The Mississippi State at Georgia Bulldogs game will be televised on SEC Network. Georgia football is 3-1 through Week 5 and is the No. 5 team in the US LBM Coaches Poll. Mississippi State is 1-4 and is unranked.

The Georgia-Mississippi State game will kick off at 4:15 p.m. ET on Saturday, Oct. 12. Georgia will be hosting its second consecutive home game after Georgia hosts Auburn on Oct. 5.

Mississippi State has a bye in Week 6. The Bulldogs are coming off a 35-13 loss at Texas.

Georgia head coach Kirby Smart is 3-0 against Mississippi State. Georgia most recently defeated Mississippi State 45-19 in Starkville, Mississippi, back in 2022. Georgia also defeated Mississippi State 31-24 in Athens in 2020.

Georgia’s game against Mississippi State is a trap game for UGA. Mississippi State will be well rested and has an extra week to prepare for Georgia. UGA plays Texas the week after Mississippi State, so Georgia could get caught looking ahead to its next game.

ESPN’s matchup predictor gives Georgia an 95.6% chance to beat Mississippi State.
