2. The bye week
Auburn is one of many teams that was fortunate enough to enjoy a bye week before playing Georgia.
After losing to LSU, Auburn returned home to take on Ole Miss, winning only 20-14.
The bye could not have come at a better time for Gus Malzahn and his team, who were starting to trend downward.
Meanwhile, Georgia took on Missouri and was dominant, but left the game pretty banged up.
Auburn has had time to heal up and game-plan for Georgia. With the Tigers’ less-than-impressive offense going up against Georgia’s defense, which is arguably the best in the country, you can expect a well-coordinated plan from Malzahn and the Tigers.
