11 a.m. ET update: After dealing with the heat last week against Tennessee State, the elements will be a factor once again for Georgia in Sanford Stadium.

It rained for much of the morning and it is expected to do so once again during the game. The forecast calls for showers to roll in at around 2 p.m. ET.

That will make getting off to a fast start all the more imperative for the Bulldogs. Georgia scored touchdowns on its first five possessions last week.

Georgia will hope an energized crowd will provide them an extra boost. The Bulldogs will be sporting all white.

“I can’t wait, it’s gonna be crazy for sure,” Georgia tight end Elyiss Williams said. “And I can’t wait to see the atmosphere when we bring them out.”

What Georgia football coach Kirby Smart said about Western Kentucky

On facing Western Kentucky …

Kirby Smart: “I know Tyson Helton, have a lot of respect for him as a coach and the program, they’ve done a tremendous job with their program over years — a lot of years. And they’ve got several members from our staff that are working up there and got close connections. Their coaches come down and work our camps in the summer, and they’ve got a lot of Georgia kids on their program.

“So it should be a great opportunity for us to continue to get better. And we have a saying around here, ‘You don’t have to be sick to get better.’ And that’s been the motto of last weekend this week.”

On Western Kentucky coach Tyson Helton …

Kirby Smart: “Yeah, it shows you they have a tremendous evaluation process. They’ve done a great job of developing players. I think it’s changed, and he’s changed with it, because they’ve had to dip into the portal and take more kids out of the portal, because more of theirs have moved on through the portal.”

On having game film to look at …

Kirby Smart: “I think it’s helpful for them to assess, maybe effort, how they ran the ball, how they performed in a small window. Because nobody played more than 30 or 40 snaps, and assess where they need to go from here. Everybody talks about your greatest improvement from game one to game two. I don’t think that’s necessarily true, unless you make it true. And you have to learn lessons from that.”
