Georgia offensive lineman Jah Jackson is expected to start vs Austin Peay.

The Georgia Bulldogs will have a new name in the starting rotation at offensive line vs Austin Peay as Jah Jackson is expected to get the start at right tackle. Earnest Greene got the start last week and is dressed out, but Jackson will get the nod today. It's worth noting that both Greene and Jackson's names were announced during the starting lineup introductions during pregame.

Another notable name on the offensive line that will be starting at right guard is Michael Uini. Juan Gaston was the starter in week one, but he suffered a lower body injury that will likely keep him out of Saturday's game.

The Georgia Bulldogs were set to play Austin Peay on Saturday at 3:30 PM ET. The game has now been moved up to 2:30 PM ET due to inclement weather in the area. The school has released the following statement on today's game.

"Due to anticipated weather later in the day, Saturday’s football game between Georgia and Austin Peay will now be played at 2:30 p.m., instead of the scheduled 3:30 p.m. Gates open at 1 p.m. Dawg Walk will take place at 12:55 p.m."

The Bulldogs were dominant in the previous matchup, which took place during the 2018 season. Georgia finished the day with a 45-0 victory over the Governors and would love nothing more than to recreate their previous successes this afternoon.

Today's game also serves as a major development point for Kirby Smart's roster. Following today's contest, the Dawgs are slated to face eight consecutive SEC programs, such as Tennessee, Alabama, and Texas. A win today could provide the team with excellent momentum ahead of their most difficult stretch of the season. A win would also extend Georgia's home win streak to 33.
