No. 1 Georgia hosts Ball State on Saturday, Sept. 9. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial).

The Bulldogs will be facing another overmatched opponent between the hedges. Coming off a 48-7 victory over FCS opponent Tennessee-Martin in a season opener that was little more than a glorified scrimmage.

Coach Kirby Smart did his best to talk up the Cardinals (0-1), but there’s nothing to indicate this will be anything more than a second straight romp for the two-time reigning national champion Bulldogs (1-0).

Georgia was initially scheduled to travel to Oklahoma this weekend for the first regular-season meeting between the storied programs.

But, when the Sooners and fellow Big 12 school Texas stunningly announced they were bolting for the Southeastern Conference, the Bulldogs were directed by the SEC office to dump their trip to Norman to accommodate future scheduling for the two new members.

That led to a hastily arranged home game against Ball State, quite a letdown from what would have been one of the week’s most anticipated showdowns at No. 18 Oklahoma.

Ball State opened the season against another SEC school, losing at Kentucky 44-14. Now, it’s a chance to face a defending national champion for the first time in school history.
