AUSTIN, Texas – ESPN's College GameDay will broadcast live from the University of Texas campus for the 10th time on Saturday, Oct. 19, before No. 1/1 Texas' home game against No. 5/4 Georgia, ESPN announced Saturday morning. The show will air for three hours from 8 to 11 a.m. CT, hosted by Rece Davis, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, Nick Saban, Kirk Herbstreit, Lee Corso and other ESPN personalities.
The Longhorns and Bulldogs will kick off at 6:30 p.m. and air on ABC from inside Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.
It'll be the seventh time (third in Austin) in the last four seasons that Texas will be appearing on ESPN's College GameDay. It will also be the second time this season UT has appeared on the show as it broadcast live from Ann Arbor, Mich., on Sept. 7 ahead of Texas' 31-12 win over No. 10/9 Michigan at Michigan Stadium. It'll also be the 24th time the GameDay set and its show will be a prominent fixture at a Texas game. It marks the third-straight year that GameDay will broadcast at least twice in a season live from a game the Longhorns are playing in. The only other times that has occurred for the Longhorns was 2005, 2008 and 2009 when UT made three GameDay appearances those years.
Texas and Georgia have met five times with the Longhorns holding a 4-1 series advantage with the most recent meeting in the Allstate Sugar Bowl following the 2018 season. The Longhorns defeated Georgia, 28-21. The Bulldogs won the previous matchup, 10-9, in the 1984 Cotton Bowl, which was the Longhorns' lone defeat of the 1983 season. Texas also prevailed, 26-7, in 1957, and 13-8 in 1958, in a home-and-home series played in Athens and Austin, respectively. The Longhorns won the first-ever meeting, 41-38, in the 1949 Orange Bowl to conclude the 1948 season. Oct. 19 will be just the second time Texas and Georgia have played in Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium and the first since 1958.
