No. 1 Georgia needed another second-half comeback and a heroic effort from tight end Brock Bowers to avoid its first loss in nearly two years.
In a 27-20 road win over Auburn, Georgia overcame two ill-timed turnovers and a punishing Auburn running game to win its 22nd consecutive game and 32nd consecutive regular season game. And just like the South Carolina win from a few weeks back, Georgia had to play from behind.
Georgia trailed 10-0 after the first quarter and 17-10 for most of the third quarter, but Kirby Smart’s team remained composed.
