The Deep South's Oldest Rivalry will start under the lights at Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday as the SEC announced that Auburn and Georgia will kick off at 6:30 p.m. CT on ABC.

The Tigers are coming off a bye week after two frustrating losses to start SEC play, including last week's 16-10 defeat to Texas A&M in College Station. Hugh Freeze's offense was only able to muster up 177 total yards in the game, with the only touchdown coming after Xavier Atkins returned an interception to the A&M two-yard line before Jackson Arnold rushed it in.

Georgia rebounded after a loss to Alabama last week, handling Kentucky 35-17.

The Bulldogs have won the last eight games, with the Tigers' last victory coming in 2017.
