Jaylin Simpson INT leads to early touchdown drive for Auburn vs. Georgia

Jaylin Simpson made a huge play for Auburn football Saturday against No. 1 Georgia.

Following an opening drive field goal, Simpson picked off Georgia QB Carson Beck near midfield. The Tigers then drove the field for a 7-play scoring drive to take an improbable 10-0 lead.

Georgia has since scored, making the score 10-7 with just under 12 minutes remaining in the 2nd quarter. Regardless, Jordan-Hare is rocking early.

Here’s the INT from Simpson. He just wanted it more:

No Auburn fan wants to hear it, but there’s plenty of time to go in this one. The Bulldogs have started slow before this season, so let’s see how Hugh Freeze’s squad continues to perform, especially on the defensive end.

We could be in for a good one, folks.
