No. 4 Georgia is absolutely sticking it to No. 7 Auburn tonight in Athens.

Midway through the third, the Dawgs lead 24-0 following yet another touchdown run by Zamir White. That’s his second of the evening.

This was Jackson’s sixth reception of the game and he now has 102 yards in the first quarter.

That led to this.
