Georgia Has Rare Sunday Football Practice

ATHENS, Ga. --- The Georgia football team broke its usual routine and practiced for an hour under the lights at the Bulldogs’ practice facility on Sunday night.

The Bulldogs started their practice schedule a day early because a number of the players have to take the Regents test on Monday.

“It was a little different today with having practice on Sunday and I think we got some good work in,” said head coach Mark Richt.  “I think this will give the coaches extra time so we should be a little ahead of schedule.”

When #8 Georgia travels to Jacksonville, Fla., to take on #5 Florida on Saturday, it will mark only the fifth time in the history of the Florida series that it will feature a pair of top-10 nationally ranked teams.  The Bulldogs and Gators have each won two games when they are both ranked in the top 10.

Not only does Saturday’s matchup pit the two teams that are tied for first in the Southeastern Conference’s Eastern Division, but it also showcases the two top-scoring teams in the league.  Florida is averaging 42.0 points a game while the Bulldogs are putting up 34.2.

Georgia (7-1, 4-1 SEC) will travel to Jacksonville, Fla., to face Florida (6-1, 4-1 SEC) on Saturday.  Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET, and CBS will televise the game nationally with Verne Lundquist, Gary Danielson and Tracy Wolfson providing the commentary.  All Georgia games also are broadcast live on the Bulldog Radio Network on AM 750 WSB in Atlanta and on both 106.1 FM and 960 The Ref in Athens. The radio audio also can be heard worldwide on both georgiadogs.com, the official website of UGA Athletics, and on XM satellite radio.
