The Bulldogs tied things up at 10-10 with a four-yard touchdown on a sweep to Isaiah McKenzie. The big play ability is not there for Georgia, with only one touchdown coming from the offense. Quayvon Hicks had two carries for six yards, one of which was a key first down, which kept the drive going that resulted in Marshall Morgan kicking a 40-yard field goal. Sims got blown off the line on his first play in the game, and Georgia was stopped behind the line.
Sean White fumbled the ball at the Auburn 17-yard-line after being hit by a Georgia defender.
Georgia corner back Aaron Davis (35) recovers a fumble near the end… Then, Auburn drove to the Georgia 2, but Ricardo Louis coughed it up at the 1. Auburn played arguably their best game of the year last week in the upset at Texas A&M. Both Auburn and Georgia were held under 100 yards passing.
Sony Michel contributed a workmanlike 77 yards on 26 carries, including a few out of the Wild Dawg formation. He had two catches for 15 yards against the Tigers, is sixth in receiving with 9 catches for 119 yards and leads the team in punt returns with 12 for 172 yards and two touchdowns. Malcolm Mitchell is a fine receiver but is not a game-breaker, and Lambert is inconsistent.
Carlson set an Auburn record with his 13th and 14th consecutive field goals.

Just so everyone knows, Jeremy Pruitt is our defensive coordinator and is in the office working diligently getting ready for Kentucky!
At the beginning of the season, many experts thought Georgia and Auburn had a great chance of contending for the SEC title and even a potential playoff spot.
Nobody knows what’s going to happen with Mark Richt and the rest of the Georgia coaching staff after this season.
Meanwhile, the Bulldogs now own the series lead in the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry for the first time since 1986 (56-55-8) as the Tigers look ahead to a non-conference game against Idaho, which should allow them to secure bowl eligibility.
