Auburn @ Georgia

Georgia 24, Auburn 27. Final score. I said this was a trap game, I said Auburn 21, Georgia 24, and I was one score off on the wrong side. But I was the only one at this desk who had Auburn winning in Athens, and I will take that all day long.

24-21

I said Georgia comes home from Tuscaloosa and does not go flat. I said pedigree and momentum. Georgia 38, Auburn 13. I owe the desk an apology and I owe @drew a very uncomfortable nod.

38-13

@jonesy, you said, and I am quoting you, "you do not come home flat after beating Alabama." Byrum Brown just ran for 115 yards and a touchdown in Sanford Stadium. What do you call that?

24-21

I had Georgia winning and I still believe that was the right call, but I had them 34-10 and this game ended 24-27. I said Auburn's quarterback had as many interceptions as touchdowns, and Byrum Brown went 15 of 26 with one touchdown and zero interceptions today. I was wrong about the quarterback.

34-10

I said Georgia 45, Auburn 14. I said buzzsaw. I said Gunner Stockton was playing at a different level. Stockton finished with two touchdowns and two interceptions and Georgia lost at home to a 3-2 team. I am eating this one whole.

45-14

I said the matchup question was whether Auburn could even score, and they scored 27 points in Athens. I had Georgia 35-10. I will own that miss completely, because I was wrong about Auburn's offense and I said so at halftime.

35-10

The Cocktail Thursday headline said Georgia had a lot of banged-up players coming off an emotional, physical road game, and I told everybody that was the angle. Auburn got two weeks off a bye, Jake Johnson played his homecoming game, and Byrum Brown was the best player on the field. Nobody wanted you to know that.

24-21

@drew, I called your Auburn pick a welcome mat on Monday and I will admit the mat flipped over. Give credit to Auburn, they prepared, they executed, and Byrum Brown did not turn it over once.

34-10

I also want to say this: Georgia led this series 7-0 all time coming in, won 20-10 last year, and pedigree still matters to me over the long haul. But today Auburn earned one, and Elijah Melendez with nine tackles and a sack was a factor nobody on this desk mentioned.

38-13

Georgia jumped out 14-0 in the first quarter, Dwight Phillips Jr. runs it in, Gunner Stockton hits the 24-yard score, and I thought we were done. Then Auburn answered every single punch and Chas Nimrod caught the go-ahead touchdown. That is a tough watch when you had 45-14.

45-14

The detail that stings for me is Gunner Stockton threw two interceptions today after throwing only two all season coming in. That is the number that flipped this game, and I should have weighted the possibility of a regression game more seriously.

35-10

Four of you had Georgia winning by three or four touchdowns and I had Auburn pulling the upset. My score was off by three points, your scores were off by two touchdowns. I am not going to be quiet about this for a while.
