In an unreliable world, the Southeastern Conference did its part to re-establish some order Saturday. Georgia once again looked the part of the beast of the SEC East, and Alabama did the same thing in the SEC West.
The Bulldogs punished Auburn, 27-6, in the most anticipated matchup of the weekend. They ran the ball and stuffed the run—and in a throwback to their 2017 script, they might once again have found a reliable (if unspectacular) Georgia native quarterback to manage games that are won in the trenches. Three years ago it was Jake Fromm who unexpectedly stepped into the starting job and never left; this time it could be the regally named Stetson Bennett IV.
