The LED lighting feature will be used on Saturday, Oct. 17 at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
According to an announcement from the Southeastern Conference, the matchup between Alabama and Georgia will be at 7:00 p.m. CT on CBS. The commentating tandem of Brad Nessler and Gary Danielson will have the call as Nick Saban will face his former assistant, Kirby Smart, for a third time. Saban got the better of Smart in the 2018 College Football Playoff National Championship Game (2017 season) and 2018 SEC Championship Game. Despite the Bulldogs holding a lead in both contests, the Crimson Tide found a way to snatch victory from Georgia.
Prior to Smart becoming a head coach in 2016, Alabama defeated the Bulldogs in the 2012 SEC title matchup (32-28), the 2015 meeting (38-10) and the 2008 “Blackout Game” (41-30) at Sanford Stadium under Mark Richt.

With the Bulldogs also having Scott Cochran, much emotion will be involved in the game.

Defensively, Georgia has one of the best groups in college football. Offensively, Alabama brings in a unit that is scoring points at will with Mac Jones at quarterback. It will be the toughest ticket in the house to get; however, fans will be prepared for the game.
