For the first time since meeting in the 1971 Gator Bowl, the North Carolina Tar Heels and Georgia Bulldogs will face each other when the two meet in Atlanta to play in the 2016 Chick-Fil-A kick-off game.
“This will undoubtedly be one of the best games of the 2016 opening weekend and a long-overdue renewal of an old ACC vs. SEC rivalry,” said Gary Stokan, president and CEO of Peach Bowl, Inc. “Both programs have a rich tradition, devoted fan base, top-notch players and elite coaches – all elements of a blockbuster-type game that we can’t wait to host.”
The game will be played on Saturday, September 3, 2016 at the Georgia Dome.
