Hugh Freeze and the Auburn Tigers are still hunting for their first SEC win of the season. This week they look to make that happen this weekend against the No. 10 Georgia Bulldogs.Â
According to this weeks ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI), the odds are stacked against Auburn, with Georgia holding a 64.5% chance of winning compared to Auburn’s 35.5%. The Tigers have struggled in conference play, starting the season with two losses against Oklahoma and Texas A&M.
One glaring issue for Auburn has been its pass protection; Arnold has been sacked 14 times over their last two SEC games.
On the other side of the field, Georgia is riding high on an impressive offensive performance this season, averaging 34.6 points per game. Quarterback Gunner Stockton has added a dynamic element to their attack with his mobility, amassing 194 rushing yards and five touchdowns so far.
Georgia has won 8 consecutive games in this series.
The stage is set for The Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry. Kickoff from Jordan-Hare Stadium is at 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday.
