With No. 4 Georgia traveling to No. 12 Auburn to partake in the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry, the whole nation will have their eyes on CBS at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday.
For Georgia, there’s so much riding on this game. A win not only secures the Dawgs a spot in the SEC Championship but it keeps their College Football Playoff hopes alive before they’d square off against Texas A&M, Tech and LSU.
A loss, and Georgia can kiss the Playoff goodbye and will put even more pressure on them the next weekend vs the Aggies if they wish to secure their spot in the SEC Championship.
Auburn is no joke and should not be taken lightly. The Tigers have arguably the best defensive front in the nation, meanwhile Georgia’s offensive line will put up as a good of a fight as Auburn has seen this season.
Unstoppable force meets immovable object.
The whole college football community is talking about this game as we approach Saturday, but I’m more curious as to what the Auburn media is saying about the matchup.
We searched through a few sites to pull some quotes from Tiger media.
Auburn defense, a loud Jordan-Hare problem for Georgia – Al.com
Charles Hollis of Al.com wrote about the Georgia vs Auburn game and how quarterback Bo Nix will be the X-factor. He also mentioned the fact that Auburn’s defense, coupled with the wild atmosphere, will make life difficult for Jake Fromm.
With the exception of Auburn’s defensive line, Georgia likely has the edge everywhere else. Nix is the X-factor. If he can’t put up respectable passing numbers, Auburn doesn’t need to get off the bus. If the running game can’t run, more bad news.
