Mississippi State announces:

STARKVILLE, Miss. The game time for the Mississippi State-Georgia football game, scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 24, has been changed to 6:45 p.m. CT, the Southeastern Conference announced Friday. The game will still be televised by ESPN, the league office said.
State’s game time switch was precipitated by the date change of the LSU-Tennessee game from this Saturday to Monday night, Sept. 26.
It will be State’s third televised contest in the first four games of the 2005 season.
