The Georgia Game

Here we go again in this oldest rivalry in Deep South.  It seems like there is always something riding on this game.  Unfortunately the riding is being by Georgia alone.  If the Dogs win, they go to the SEC Championship.  Auburn is already assured of a losing season with a 2 & 7 record as either Chizik fights for his job or else the decision has already been made to dismiss him and nothing public has been said by Dr. Gogue.  It's a strange situation.  Has there ever been another Auburn-Georgia game with this kind of scenario?  Not that I can remember.  It's a night game on ESN

FIRST QUARTER

The Tigers receive and go three and out.
Georgia drives quickly down the field for the touchdown.  The Bulldogs look animated.  That was easy.

Auburn 0  Georgia 7

At this point we see that A and M beats Alabama 29 to 24.  The game is preserved on an interception when Alabama had 4th and goal from the 4.
The Tigers drive looking good mixing the run and pass but mostly the pass as Wallace looks great so far.
But there is a big loss on Bray.  Should have been a horse collar but no call.
2nd and 20 from the Georgia 40.    Another one of those negative plays.  We've seen this all year.
We punt to the end zone.
The Bulldogs start another drive as Auburn plays simple base defense.  Auburn needs to mix up its looks Stan White says.
Georgia makes it look easy as our defense is static.
They have an open receiver on every play.  Our defense is not there.
Georgia is methodical.  We have no movement on defense.
Georgia is eating Auburn up.  We get behind early like we have all year.
Our defense lines up and doesn't move.
The score comes on a pass to a wide open receiver from the 5.

Auburn 0  Georgia 14

Well, this is going to be ugly. 
With Alabama's loss this game has big BCS ramifications for Georgia.
The quarter ends with Auburn facing 3rd and 10 trailing by 2 touchdowns.

SECOND QUARTER

The Tigers have to punt as they get pressure on Wallace.
Georgia starts on their 35.
The Bulldogs offense is slick and we can't stop them.
A bad call bails Georgia out of a 3rd and 7.
There's a TD pass.  What the heck.

Auburn 0  Georgia 21

We are making Georgia look good.  At the same time, they are clearly the better team.  This could be an historic blowout in this long series.
The Tigers move from their 25 to the Bulldog 44 but have to punt to the Bulldog 10 with 7:52 to go.
The Dogs drive for another easy TD.  There is no need to keep up with the details.

Auburn 0  Georgia 28

Once again we can't do anything on offense.
This time we force Georgia to punt.  The problem is that seconds remain and we have the ball on the 2.
Mercifully the half ends.  What is there to say?  Auburn is not competitive against their oldest rival.

THIRD QUARTER

We're no good on defense and we can't sustain anything on offense.
Jonathan Wallace is 8 of 10 for 133 yards.  That's the only bright spot.  But where is Tre Mason?
The Bulldogs drive 75 yards right down the field mostly running right up the middle.
We consistently have missed tackles at the line of scrimmage.
Their senior QB slices and dices our defense.
I don't know what ele to say.
We hold at the 3 but give up the field goal.

Auburn 0  Georgia 31

All we can do is try and keep it respectable, but I think it's a losing battle.
Once again we are 3 and out.
We continue to see potential from J. Wallace but he is getting no help.
Georgia starts at their 29 leading prohibitively.
Georgia marches efficiently for another TD.

Auburn 0  Georgia 38

Finally Auburn starts a smart drive, BUT Emory Blake catches a pass at the 10 and then in trying to get extra yardage he fumbles at the 6 and Georgia recovers at the 11.  It's just amazing how this team continually, game after game, shoots itself in the foot.  Just amazing.
Thankfully the third quarter ends.

FOURTH QUARTER

On the first play of the quarter Wallace overthrows and Georgia intercepts at midfield.
Georgia punts down to the Auburn one.
Auburn punts.  Georgia punts as they have obviously substituted.
Auburn somehow has the ball on their 4 yard line.
The Tigers move the ball out to midfield but have to punt when Wallace is sacked.
The game finally ends w/o Georgia scoring again.  Thank goodness.

FINAL SCORE
Auburn 0  Georgia 38
