Jeremy Johnson may start for Auburn against Georgia

But you simply can’t overlook the poor punt coverage on the McKenzie return. But Lambert could at least threaten to complete a pass downfield; after gaining six and nine yards on swing passes in Auburn’s opening drive for a touchdown, neither Jeremy Johnson nor Sean White completed a pass for more than three yards until deep in the fourth quarter. On Auburn’s last possession of the half, the Tigers made it into scoring position before a a series of negative plays forced the Tigers to kick a field goal-a school record 13 in a row for Daniel Carlson.

Auburn is a slight favorite against Georgia Saturday.

Two plays later, Jordan Jenkins jarred the ball loose from White.

Georgia corner back Aaron Davis (35) recovers a fumble near the end… Johnson led the Tigers on a late drive that would have cut the deficit to three with a touchdown, but it ended inside the Bulldogs’ 5-yard line on a Ricardo Louis fumble. Auburn (5-4) is still struggling, but it’s a win away from bowl eligiblitly – that didn’t seem possible a few weeks ago.

Auburn’s starting quarterback for the Georgia game remains a mystery.

Auburn is 3-8 against teams with winning records, 8-22 after allowing less than 20 points, 3-11 overall and on grass, 1-4 after an ATS win, after rushing for 200 yards or more, 1-5 after a straight up win, 1-7 at home, and 0-6 after allowing less than 170 passing yards.

Hobbled by a knee injury, White’s only completion in five attempts went for 1 yard. The Bulldogs’ Sony Michel and Auburn’s Jovon Robinson each ran for about 160 yards last week in SEC games. Mr. Eason said that unless a hypothetical Mark Richt replacement were to run either the Wing T or the Triple Option that his son Jacob would play his college ball in the Red and Black for the University of Georgia.

Receiver Malcolm Mitchell has 43 catches for 617 yards and 4 touchdowns. With Auburn’s offense in a state much like Georgia’s, the Dawgs’ defense needs to continue to fly around and make plays. However, with Eason signing his financial-aid papers, Richt can have contact, speak publicly about him and visit whenever he wants. The Bulldogs moved to 7-3 despite a lethargic offensive performance. Georgia’s defense allowed no quarter, and the stationary quarterback under center added fuel to the ‘Dawg’s fire. Blake Countess, specifically, had a strong game, and Jonathan Ford did a great job in help defense, though his facemask penalty was one of the biggest mistakes of the game. We’re focusing on getting ready to play one whale of a football game versus a team that’s going to have a tremendous fan base ready to get after us.

Georgia wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie (16) outruns the diving… Before Richt got to Athens, Tennessee and Florida won national championships; once Richt got to Georgia, Bulldog nation saw LSU, Florida, Alabama and Auburn trade national championships.
