Forty years before the Southeastern Conference was formed, two of its founding members played one of the first football games in the south when Auburn beat Georgia 10-0 in Atlanta’s Piedmont Park on Feb. 20, 1892.
For 124 years the Tigers and Bulldogs have met on the gridiron except when interrupted by World War I and World War II. Now known as the, “Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry,” the game is tied for seventh place as the most-played football series in the nation and the series couldn’t be any closer with the Dogs holding a narrow 56-55-8 edge.
It continues today as one of the nation’s most storied rivalries.
