Auburn has greatly improved from last year. They have a 7-3 record (better than ours) and won five games in a row to start the season. However, they have gone mostly downhill since then, losing three in a row to Arkansas, Kentucky, and LSU. They then rebounded with wins over Ole Miss and Furman.
Georgia has had a terrible year so far. They have a 5-4 record and opened with a loss at Oklahoma State, which was followed by close wins over South Carolina, Arkansas, and Arizona State. After that, they lost two in a row to LSU and Tennessee before rebounding against Vanderbilt. However, they lost to Florida, but rebounded against Tennessee Tech.
Auburn's explosive offense will be a challenge for Georgia's defense. Our D will have to really step up and stop this offense if they want to win the game. When Auburn's offense shows up, they can put up points very fast. However, the Tigers' defense will most likely not be a challenge for our offense.
