ESPN’s “College GameDay” returns for Week 10 of the college football season, traveling to Athens, Ga., ahead of No. Tennessee’s road game at No. 3 Georgia on Saturday, Nov. 5. The show will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial) and DirecTV Stream (free trial).
The Bulldogs are hosting the show for the eighth time while GameDay makes its third visit in seven weeks to the site of a Vols game.
Rece Davis leads the show in his eighth season as host and is joined at the desk by GameDay analysts Desmond Howard, Kirk Herbstreit, Lee Corso, Pat McAfee and David Pollack – a College Football Hall of Famer and Georgia All-American. Reporters Jen Lada, Gene Wojciechowski and newcomer Jess Sims, along with research producer Chris ‘The Bear’ Fallica and college football insider Pete Thamel, round out the GameDay crew for the season.
