ATLANTA (AP) -

The Georgia Dome will host games on back-to-back days as part of the 2012 Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game.

Officials announced Thursday that North Carolina State and Tennessee will meet on Aug. 31 in a game broadcast by ESPNU. Auburn and Clemson will meet Sept. 1 in a game shown on either ABC or ESPN.

Game times have not been set.

Chick-fil-A Bowl president Gary Stokan says he expects the doubleheader to offer a "colossal weekend of football in Atlanta" to open the 2012 season.

LSU defeated North Carolina in the 2011 kickoff game.
