Preview: Georgia vs. Auburn 2022
It’s the 127th renewal of the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry, as Georgia hosts the Auburn Tigers Saturday afternoon at Sanford Stadium.
The reigning national champion Bulldogs are coming off a thrilling 26-22 come-from-behind victory over Missouri in Columbia, which improved Georgia to 5-0 on the season and 2-0 in Southeastern Conference play. The Tigers were hungry for an upset and led until the closing minutes. Georgia trailed 13-0 in the first half, 16-6 at intermission and 22-12 in the fourth quarter. But the Bulldogs scored two fourth quarter touchdowns and then ran out the clock to avoid what would have been college football’s biggest upset of the season.
