“It'll be 8 o'clock pregame meal eastern time, 7 o'clock their time,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said. “Steak and eggs, get ready to go play. We've done it before and we got do it again. We'll do some biorhythm prep the day before and try to get them up early on consecutive days and get them used to it. They're young and they can handle it."

Georgia has won the last two games against Vanderbilt 55-0 and 62-0 and four straight in Nashville since a 31-27 Commodore win in 2013 against a No. 15 Bulldog team.

“We believe if we have a better performance on our end,” Vanderbilt coach Clark Lea said, “then obviously there will be things and moments in the game that we’ll be able to hopefully seize and capture to make it a tight game late and find a way to win that battle.”
