ATHENS - UGA Football and coach Kirby Smart gave a behind-the-scenes look at No. 5 UGA’s win over the Auburn Tigers in the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry over the weekend in Sanford Stadium.

The win was watched by nearly 5 million viewers on ABC. Auburn-UGA is the tenth most-watched series in college footbal over the last 13 seasons. 

Kirby Smart’s No. 5 UGA Football beat the Auburn Tigers during the 129th edition of the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry in Sanford Stadium on Saturday.

Trevor Etienne rushed for two touchdowns Saturday, Carson Beck threw for two scores, and the No. 5-ranked Georgia football team earned its eighth straight win over Auburn. In a homecoming matchup at Sanford Stadium, the Bulldogs led from start to finish and ground out a 31-13 win.

The Bulldogs (4-1, 2-1 SEC) came into Saturday’s game on Dooley Field fresh off last week’s loss, 41-34, at now-No. 1 Alabama. It was Georgia’s first regular-season loss since November 2020 — so how would the Bulldogs respond? This wasn’t a light-up-the-scoreboard game, but Georgia made a lot of key plays when they were needed and improved to 14-3 after a loss under coach Kirby Smart.

A week after Georgia and Alabama combined for more than 1,000 yards of total offense, the Bulldogs and Tigers (2-4, 0-3) played a much less fast-paced game. Georgia finished with 381 yards, while the Tigers gained 337. Georgia now leads the all-time series with Auburn 65-56-8.
