Auburn football returns to the Plains this Saturday, and fans in attendance for the Tigers’ game with No. 9 Georgia will be treated to true fall-like temperatures.

The latest report from Accuweather shows that the high temperature for Auburn will be 78 degrees on Saturday, bottoming out to a low of 54 degrees. Morning tailgaters will enjoy a pleasant 75-degree day that will warm up to 78 degrees in the afternoon. Kickoff temperature will be 72 degrees and cool to 62 degrees by the end of the game, with humidity topping out at 78%.

The only downfall to Saturday’s forecast will be the wind. Gusts are expected to reach 10 miles per hour during the morning and afternoon tailgates, and up to 14 miles per hour during the game.

Auburn returns to the gridiron after taking Week 6 off from competition. The Tigers will return from the bye week riding a two-game losing streak after dropping their first two games of SEC play to No. 5 Texas A&M and No. 6 Oklahoma. Georgia is 4-1 after bouncing back from its lone loss of the season to No. 8 Alabama by defeating Kentucky last week, 35-14.

Auburn hosts No. 9 Georgia for a 6:30 p.m. CT kickoff on ABC live from Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday.
