Kirby Smart is still seeking his first road win against SEC West Division teams and Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium against the host Auburn Tigers would be the ideal venue for Smart to leap over that hurdle.
Smart’s Bulldogs were pummeled at Ole Miss 45-14 in his first year at the UGA helm in 2016, were whacked at Auburn 40-17 in 2017 when Georgia was ranked No. 1 in the land entering the game and then were jolted 36-16 last season by LSU at Tiger Stadium. Of course, after the 2017 loss to Auburn on the plains, all UGA fans know the Bulldogs then got sweet revenge by belting the Tigers 28-7 in the SEC Championship Game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
