Auburn fiddled around for more than three quarters, posted a monstrous comeback effort, fell short, and watched as Georgia won the SEC East after a 21-14 victory at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
A 21-0 lead for the Bulldogs evaporated quickly in the final quarter as Auburn threw caution to the wind, scoring two quick touchdowns and shutting Georgia’s offense down. The Tigers then failed on consecutive fourth downs to end the suspense and give Georgia the win, their third straight in the series.
There will be a ton of talk centering around Gus Malzahn’s handling of certain aspects of this game, including but not limited too his decision to kick a field goal on the first drive of the game, and the idea to call a timeout at the end of the half, which allowed Georgia to score their second touchdown.
