"Georgia Defense Holds Strong as Auburn's Run Game Dominates"
The Georgia defense made crucial stops, including a game-sealing interception by Malaki Starks, to secure a 27-20 victory over Auburn. However, the Bulldogs struggled to contain Auburn's run game, allowing over 200 rushing yards and breaking a streak of 65 games where Georgia held opponents under 200 yards rushing. Georgia coach Kirby Smart acknowledged the issue and emphasized the need for improvement in run defense.
