An old-school beat-down occurred in Sanford Stadium this past Saturday night. A snarling group of rabid big Dawgs destroyed any chance for the Auburn Tigers to compete with their arch-rivals from the East. Georgia’s offensive and defensive lines stood up and shut down Auburn. It was a physical whipping for the ages, and it all started with the lines of scrimmage.
Auburn rushed 22 times for 39 yards. Thirty-nine yards rushing, and their quarterback was responsible for eight (net) of that total. If there was ever dominance in that phase of the game, it happened Saturday in Athens.
