Murray State (1-0) at No. 3 Georgia (1-0, 1-0 SEC)

When and where: 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 7 at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia.

On the air: ESPN2 with Beth Mowins, Anthony Becht and Rocky Boiman.

Outlook: The Bulldogs opened the season with a 30-6 win at Vanderbilt where quarterback Jake Fromm had just 156 yards in the air against a shaky Commodore defense. Murray State hammered NAIA school Pikeville, 59-20. Fun fact: Murray State head coach Mitch Stewart was the quarterback in 2001 for Valdosta State — the same year Georgia coach Kirby Smart was the defensive coordinator at Valdosta State.

The Last Line: It might have been a blowout for Murray State, but allowing 20 points from an NAIA school doesn’t bode well when you travel to the third-ranked team in the country.
