No replacement game for UGAâs regular season finale
By Cal Callaway
The university announced Wednesday that it will not play a replacement for Vanderbilt on Saturday.
The Southeastern Conference canceled the Vanderbilt game in Athens on Monday due to Vanderbilt’s football squad size and position availability falling below roster minimum requirements under the league’s COVID-19 protocols.
The league office declared the Vanderbilt at Georgia game a no-contest.

“While we conducted our due diligence in finding a replacement game, we were unable to make it happen,” said UGA J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics Greg McGarity. “We now focus on our upcoming bowl game. We are also working on alternative ways to honor our senior class, who deserve the opportunity to be celebrated as one of the most prolific classes in University of Georgia history.”
