Georgia’s 13-7 victory over Auburn was its biggest win of the season. The Bulldogs upset the No. 9 overall Tigers despite not scoring a single offensive touchdown.
In fact, Georgia was the first team to beat a top-10 team without an offensive TD since LSU beat Alabama, 9-6, in 2011.
Just another Saturday in Athens!
