Auburn had all the momentum in the first half, shutting out No. 10 Georgia and prepared to take a 17-0 lead right before halftime with the ball on the 1-yard line.
What happened in the next two-and-a-half hours will have Auburn fans in misery for quite some time.
On a controversial call, Jackson Arnold was ruled to have fumbled the ball before it crossed the goal line, Georgia recovered, and the Bulldogs went on to dominate the final 32 minutes in a 20-10 victory for Kirby Smart's squad.
It was the ninth straight loss for Auburn in the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry, and Tigers' fans were taking it out on both SEC officiating and head coach Hugh Freeze.
