Comments
This game will tell us a lot about Georgia. Auburn is probably a little better than they get credit for. Georgia’s defense has shown some kinks in its armor over the past couple of games. If Auburn is able to score double-digit points on Georgia then we will know that stout UGA defense from 2021 is gone. Georgia will win.
