Georgia athletic director Greg McGarityLEXINGTON, Ky. – The Georgia Bulldogs lost at South Carolina two weeks ago, defeated Kentucky at Commonwealth Stadium on Saturday night and play Florida this week in Jacksonville.
Where the Bulldogs haven’t competed in October is their own Sanford Stadium.
In the one-year schedule implemented by the Southeastern Conference last December following the additions of Missouri and Texas A&M, the Bulldogs are in a five-week stint between games at home. Georgia hosted Tennessee on Sept. 29, which was the fourth of five home games last month, but the next game in Athens won’t be until Ole Miss arrives Nov. 3.
“It is odd not having a home game in October,” Georgia athletic director Greg McGarity said. “We have one home game in October next season, and I expect that we would in 2014 and beyond, but this year it just didn’t work out that way. I think in the future you’ll see it spread out a little more.”
Georgia’s absence of a game in Sanford this month is partly due to an open date Oct. 13 and partly due to the Bulldogs being officially the home team next week in Jacksonville.
