The 10th-ranked Georgia Bulldogs will be aiming for a second straight victory on Saturday night (7:30 pm, ABC), but could be facing the visiting Auburn Tigers without a pair of starting offensive linemen.
Both Bulldogs right tackle Earnest Greene and left tackle Monroe Freeling could be out of action due to injury, according CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz. Greene has missed Georgia’s last 2 games dealing with a back injury since the season opener against Marshall. Freeling left last week’s victory against Kentucky with a lower body injury.
Both Greene and Freeling were listed on the mid-week injury report, but both made the trip to Auburn.
Georgia leads the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry 65–56–8 and carries an 8-game winning streak onto the Plains tonight. Auburn’s last victory against Georgia came in 2017, a 40-17 victory at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Georgia is looking to avoid its second loss this season. The Tigers, meanwhile, are 0-2 in SEC play but both losses came on the road against top-10 teams in Texas A&M and Oklahoma.
Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday night.
