Before the season, this was a matchup of top 10 teams. But Saturday, the only thing on the line other than bowl aspirations was bragging rights.
And the game lived up to its billing … in a bad way. Both Auburn and Georgia were held under 100 yards passing. They combined for just over 500 yards total. And the game-winning score came on special teams, a 53-yard punt return that propelled Georgia to a 20-13 victory.
What this win means for Georgia: Don’t look now, but Georgia is 7-3 and has a chance to finish with nine wins.
