Though it may not be a fan favorite, big powerhouse schools playing “cupcake games” against smaller schools is something that each team does, and according to Kirby Smart, for good reason.
Georgia will take on Middle Tennessee State University this Saturday in Sanford Stadium at 7:15pm on ESPN2.
MTSU of the Conference USA is coming off a 61-37 win over UT Martin, and the week before, a 35-7 loss at Vanderbilt.
Georgia will pay MTSU $1.7m to come to Athens to face the third ranked Bulldogs. In week one, Georgia dished out $500,000 to Clarksville, Tennessee’s Austin Peay, a game UGA won 45-0.
