The Georgia Bulldogs dusted themselves off after biting the dirt for the first time in almost four years. They rallied strong against Auburn with a 31-13 victory down there in Athens. Trevor Etienne was runnin’ wild with a couple of touchdowns. Carson Beck wasn't left jawin' neither, throwing for a pair of scores, making sure the Bulldogs had themselves a fine day. While the Georgia fans were whooping it up, a surprise came from Tennessee, as Vanderbilt upended Alabama narrows by 40-35, bringing more smiles to those in red and black. Kirby Smart tipped his hat to Vandy and acknowledged the toughness of the SEC schedule. Auburn, on the flip side, is struggling with their hopes dashed another time under Hugh Freeze, losing to another Power Four team. The Tigers played tooth-and-nail through the hot Georgia heat, but they just didn’t have the muscle to take down those Bulldogs. With big games looming for Georgia against Texas and Ole Miss, their path isn’t a walk in the park just yet, and Auburn needs to huddle during their bye week.
