Prior to its final drive, Georgia had converted one third down against Auburn.

"Anybody could've made a play or they could've scored. Like it's just 50-50. It's like you've just got to do what you've got to do out there."

A key sequence just before halftime gave Georgia a boost that it rode into a dominant second half against Auburn

Gunner Stockton calls his own number and reaches the corner for a 10-yard TD run. Another third down conversion for the Bulldogs ends with six points.

Peyton Woodring's 45-yard field goal is no good. Wide right. Georgia's lead remains 13-10 with 11:44 to go in the 4Q.

Georgia misses out on an opportunity to extend the lead

That’s crazy

Jordan D. Hill @jordandhill247.bsky.social · 2d

Georgia fans hate the screens (I get it!), but the Bulldogs run that one for Zachariah Branch to perfection. He takes off for 13 yards and nearly had more. Huge third-down conversion

END 3Q: No. 10 Georgia leads Auburn 13-10.

The Bulldogs started clicking on offense and did a much better job pressuring Jackson Arnold in the third quarter. Georgia has the ball with a chance to take a two-possession lead when play resumes

Jordan D. Hill @jordandhill247.bsky.social · 2d

Nate Frazier surely saw his life flash before his eyes on that pitch.

CJ Allen is having a game. Allen blitzes right up the middle and sacks Jackson Arnold on third down.

Dawgs have the momentum and a chance to take the lead (no, really)

HALFTIME: No. 10 Georgia trails Auburn 10-3.

It was a pretty ugly first half for the Bulldogs, but they took advantage of some Auburn miscues in the last few minutes to make it a one-possession game. Georgia gets the ball to start the third quarter, and it has to take advantage

Peyton Woodring connects on the 29-yard field goal. Georgia can't totally take advantage of an Auburn implosion, but it gets three points out of the mess.

Seems like the officials should've let the play go, which would've been a Kyron Jones TD.

Instead, Georgia has to take consolation in a goal-line stand

Kirby Smart raved about Jackson Arnold's running ability all week. He just burnt the Bulldogs with 27 yards on a third-down draw.

Valiant effort by Gunner Stockton to shake out of a sack, but he can't get very far before being taken to the ground. The Bulldogs cannot protect right now.

Big drive goes nowhere for the Dawgs

Georgia forces Jackson Arnold out of the pocket, and Arnold nearly throws a pick. Instead, it falls incomplete.

Dawgs' defense gets the stop it so desperately needed

Heck of a recovery by Ellis Robinson to break up the pass to Cam Coleman. You could feel Auburn getting ready to try and take a shot

Gunner Stockton's third-down throw is behind Dillon Bell and falls incomplete. Georgia's second drive is a hapless three-and-out.

Georgia is flirting with disaster right now

Alex McPherson hits a 25-yard field goal to make it a 10-0 game with 13:41 left in the 2Q.

Big stop for Georgia there with Demello Jones tackling Damari Alston on third down. Think it might have been time to panic had Auburn started with back-to-back TD drives
