Georgia’s October 17th Homecoming game against Missouri will be broadcast at 7:30 p.m. on the SEC Network. The network’s lead team of Brent Musburger, Jesse Palmer, and Maria Taylor will be on hand to call the game.

It’s the latest kickoff yet this season. Students and many fans will be excited about the night game. That this is Homecoming though takes a bit of the shine off of the late start. Homecoming weekend is important for many student organizations but also for many older fans for whom the late night will be a hardship or just impossible. That’s why Homecoming kickoffs are typically so much earlier. The new experience of a Homecoming game in prime time will be interesting for sure, and you can bet that many groups planning Homecoming activities and tailgates are scrambling right now to deal with the later start.
