ATHENS, Ga. —Trevor Etienne rushed for two touchdowns Saturday, Carson Beck threw for two more, 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.
