AUBURN, ALA. — The University of Georgia has clinched many an SEC championship on the plains of Auburn. The Bulldogs of 2019 didn’t win the conference title here Saturday but Kirby Smart’s Dawgs did tuck away their third consecutive SEC East Division crown and a spot in the league championship game with a 21-14 triumph over the Auburn Tigers.
In a game that the Bulldogs manhandled the Tigers for three quarters while building a 21-0 lead going to the final period, Georgia had to survive a fierce Auburn rally that saw the Tigers put up 14 points in the final quarter to pull within a touchdown with still 7:03 remaining in the game.
