Judging by Auburn’s opening drive in the SEC Championship Game Saturday, it looked like the Tigers’ offense would pick up right where it left off last time against Georgia.
The Tigers made quick work against the Bulldogs’ defense in the game’s opening possession, marching downfield 75 yards in 10 plays. Auburn found the end zone on that 10th play, when quarterback Jarrett Stidham hit Nate Craig-Myers for a 6-yard score.
The touchdown pass gave Auburn its first lead of the afternoon. Thanks to a stout Georgia defense and a pair of costly turnovers, it proved to be its last.
