That was scary, but Georgia’s defense again saved the day.
Let’s start with that defense. For a unit playing several true-freshmen, Dan Lanning’s charges have done a masterful job against some SEC powers this season. Admittedly, Auburn came back to score 14 points in the second half. Still, considering the amount of time the defense was on the field, any finger-pointing should indict the Bulldog offense. But no one should be looking for failures; the Dawgs just won the SEC East for the third consecutive year by beating an ancient rival on its home turf. Style points don’t count.
