AUBURN, Ala. -- Georgia coach Kirby Smart celebrated a come-from-behind 27-20 win at Auburn on Saturday by throwing his visor into the stands and saluting the Bulldog fans who made the trip to Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Never mind that Georgia, the winner of back-to-back national championships, entered the game ranked No. 1 and two touchdown favorites against unranked Auburn, which is breaking in a new head coach in Hugh Freeze.
Smart said it's never easy to win an SEC game on the road. He said he was proud of the way his team didn't panic when it trailed for three quarters.
