AUBURN, Ala. – Three weeks ago, when Kerryon Johnson last faced this Georgia defense he's going to see in Saturday's SEC championship game, he rushed for 167 yards on 32 carries and added two receptions for 66 yards and a touchdown. He carried Auburn past the Bulldogs, who were ranked No. 1 at the time.
It was a performance that caught the eye of former Georgia running back Todd Gurley.
Damn 21 Johnson a beast..

“It’s still crazy to think about to this day,” Johnson said later about the tweet.
