The History: Georgia Keeps the Belt
They call it “The Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry” — but lately, it’s felt more like “Georgia’s Annual Confidence Booster.”
The Bulldogs have been treating Auburn like that one cousin you let score once in backyard football before locking them down the rest of the day. Georgia has won eight straight in this matchup, and most haven’t even been close.
Kirby Smart’s squad climbed back into the Top 10 after a statement 35-14 win over Kentucky, and they’re looking to keep the good vibes rolling on the road.
But here’s the kicker: Georgia has been allergic to first quarters this season. Before Kentucky, they’d been outscored 28-7 in the opening frame of SEC play. Smart apparently decided enough was enough and demanded his guys stop hitting snooze until the second quarter. The Bulldogs started hot last week and that’s exactly the kind of start they’ll need to shut up 87,000 screaming Auburn fans.
Smart summed it up perfectly: “We didn’t take a pill. We didn’t inject anything. We didn’t have a different pregame meal. We just executed.”
So basically, Georgia’s new “secret weapon” is… actually playing well. Genius.
The Bulldogs: Ground and Pound
Quarterback Gunner Stockton hasn’t exactly been lighting up the stat sheet through the air, but he’s doing his best Tim Tebow impression with five rushing touchdowns.
The Bulldogs’ defense, as always, looks nasty. They’re disciplined, deep, and still one of the most technically sound units in the country. Auburn will need some serious chaos to crack this wall.
The Tigers: Hoping History Doesn’t Repeat
Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze has been preaching patience, but his team’s two losses, both close, have fans feeling like they’re stuck in football purgatory. Quarterback Jackson Arnold has yet to throw an interception, which is impressive, but Freeze wants him to be a little more dangerous.
Translation: “Please, son, take a shot downfield before I have a stroke.”
Auburn’s had two weeks to prepare, which means they’ve had 14 days to cook up something spicy. The problem? Georgia’s the kind of team that turns your fancy trick plays into highlight-reel bloopers.
Still, Auburn’s defense is gritty enough to keep it interesting — for a half.
Prediction:
Auburn fights hard early, but Georgia’s depth and discipline win out again. The Bulldogs pull away late and keep their grip on the rivalry, because apparently, that’s just what they do every year.
The streak continues. Auburn fans drink heavily. The Deep South’s oldest rivalry gets another episode of the same show.
