Notre Dame at Georgia date, time announced

Two years ago, Georgia and Notre Dame met in South Bend in a thriller that saw the Bulldogs come away with a one point victory en route to a CFB Playoff appearance.

This year, the two programs will square off again down south, this time under the lights.

CBS Sports announced on Wednesday that it will broadcast the rematch between Notre Dame and Georgia from Sanford Stadium on Sept. 21 at 8:00 pm Eastern.

Brad Nessler, Gary Danielson, and Jamie Erdahl will call the game from Athens.

The game figures to be one of the most anticipated matchups of the 2019 college football season, as both teams have been in the playoff over the last two years. Notre Dame lost to eventual champion Clemson in last year’s semifinal, and Georgia beat Baker Mayfield’s Oklahoma squad in the 2019 Rose Bowl before falling to Alabama in overtime in that year’s national championship game.

This year’s Irish-Bulldogs matchup will be a measuring stick for the CFP Selection Committee and should loom large in both team’s resumes at the end of the season should either or both wind up in contention for the top four.

Georgia escaped from Notre Dame Stadium in 2017 after Davin Bellamy’s dramatic strip sack of Irish quarterback Brandon Wimbush with under two minutes in regulation. The game was also noted for being the first career start for then freshman Bulldogs quarterback Jake Fromm.

The 2019 SEC on CBS schedule begins on Sept. 14 when South Carolina hosts Alabama at 3:30 pm Eastern following a yet to be announced 12:00 game on the network.
