2:30 p.m. update: Georgia defensive back Javon Bullard is also dressed and going through pregame warmups. Bullard is questionable to play due to an ankle injury sustained during Week 2.
2:25 p.m. update: Georgia wide receiver Ladd McConkey is expected to make his season debut today. The speedy wide receiver has been sidelined with a back injury but is dressed and going through pregame warmups.
McConkey’s breakout performance came at Jordan-Hare Stadium two years ago. His five receptions for 135 yards and a touchdown kickstarted what has been a strong career at UGA.
McConkey led all Georgia receivers in yards last season.
12:30 p.m. ET update: The Bulldogs play their first road game of the season at Jordan-Hare Stadium, one of the most raucous environment in college football. The hostile crowd is a new challenge for a Georgia offense that spent its first four weeks in the comfort of Sanford Stadium.
Quarterback Carson Beck is one of several offensive starters with little to no experience on the road. Beck’s last true away game action came in the fourth quarter of Georgia’s 48-7 win over South Carolina in Week 3 last season.
Georgia coach Kirby Smart has mentioned the difficulty of playing in every road environment in the SEC. The intensity at Auburn, much like it is in Athens, happens to match some of the best stadiums across the country.
“People have always said there’s a similarity between the look of theirs and ours, but it’s extremely loud,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said. “I mean, I don’t know how to differentiate one school to another because they’re just loud. All their fans are passionate.”
Beck’s ability to direct the offense, including an offensive line with several inexperienced starters, will also be tested.
Amarius Mims will miss his second straight game, likely moving Xavier Truss to right tackle and sophomore Dylan Fairchild to left guard. Fairchild and freshman left tackle Earnest Greene will see some of their first significant snaps on the road today.
Statistically, Auburn’s defense is the toughest unit that Beck and the Bulldogs have faced this season. The Tigers are fifth in total yards and points allowed in the SEC.
“I’m very confident in Carson’s ability to communicate, to understand things,” Smart said. “He’s been in our system you know, you only get good at these situational football things by playing football for a long time and he’s been with us for a while. It’s his first chance to do it on the road.”
