Live Updates: Georgia vs Vanderbilt

Keep up to date with the game as the top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs face off against the Vanderbilt Commodores.

For just the second time this season, the Georgia Bulldogs are looking to win on the road. This week’s matchup will feature the Dawgs and the Vanderbilt Commodores. This will be the 81st matchup between these two teams in a series that Georgia dominates 60-20.

In the past few years, this series has been anything but competitive. The Bulldogs have absolutely destroyed the Commodores in their last five meetings by a combined score of 233-33. Vegas predicts this year's meeting will be no different, as the Bulldogs are currently -31.5 point favorites to win.

Georgia looked to have found their typical dominant standard against Kentucky a week ago, and the Bulldogs will be looking to build off of that success against Vanderbilt before they head into the bye week. This matchup is not seen as one of the premier slots of the week seven slate, but it's still a great opportunity for Georgia to pick up another conference win and do so on the road.

As part of the weekly game week tradition, the Georgia football media team has released this week's hype video for their game against the Vanderbilt Commodores.
