What Gus Malzahn said after another loss to Georgia in Athens
Auburn coach Gus Malzahn was asked about his struggles in Athens against Georgia, but he wasn’t interested in offering much reflection.
The Tigers fell to Georgia, 27-6, on Saturday in a game that the Bulldogs controlled throughout. It was the fourth straight win for Georgia over Auburn. Georgia QB Stetson Bennett IV threw for 240 yards and a touchdown in his first college start, while RB Zamir White ran for two touchdowns.
The Bulldogs jumped out to a 24-0 lead in the first half, and didn’t look back.
Here is a sampling of what Malzahn said to the media after the game:
