Why Georgia can cover
The Bulldogs have played shutdown defense. Georgia allows 177.8 total yards per game. Teams are forced to pass the ball because their rushing attack has been completely taken away by the Bulldogs. Georgia allows 67.8 rushing yards per game, and to make matters worse, teams have trouble scoring. The Bulldogs allow a putrid 4.6 points per game.
Georgia held Vanderbilt and Arkansas to zero points in back-to-back weeks. The Razorbacks and Commodores combined for 13 first downs while managing to rush for 128 yards total. The Bulldog defense forces opponents to fight for every yard and will do the same on Saturday afternoon.
Why Auburn can cover
The Tigers have one of the top run games in the SEC and average 238.2 rushing yards per game. Going up against Georgia’s stout run defense will be a battle for Auburn, but the Tigers have the the running backs to do so. Freshman Jarquez Hunter and sophomore Tank Bigsby both have over 400 rushing yards on the year.
Hunter leads Auburn with 42 carries for 447 yards and three touchdowns. The Mississippi native also averages a team-high 89.4 rushing yards per game with 10.1 yards per rush. Bigsby has a team-high 74 carries for 430 yards and four touchdowns. The sophomore back rushes for 86 yards per game. This duo hopes to break free against the Bulldog defense.
