Comments

I’m going with Auburn in this game. I think they have the better quarterback. Looking at Georgia, where are the great Georgia running backs that we’ve seen over the past few years? Did they all disappear? Saturday at Arkansas Georgia averaged 2.9 yards a run. This was against Arkansas, the team that had the worst defense in the SEC last season. Georgia’s longest run against Arkansas was 20 yards. Auburn wasn’t spectacular either running on Kentucky but they did at least reach 3.0 yard on average per carry.. and Auburn faced a supposedly tougher opponent in Kentucky. I do think Kentucky is a pretty darn good team, far better than Arkansas. I think Auburn wins this one but it’ll be pretty close.
