Georgia Football 2017 Season Preview: Auburn Tigers

What do they do well:

They should be able to put up points. To me this could well be the toughest game UGA’s defense faces all year. Auburn are loaded with talent on the offensive side of the ball. If Stidham is who people seem to think he is, they have weapons all over the pitch. Pettway was an absolute beast in the 4 games leading up to last years UGA match. He rushed for 770 yards in just 4 games and 6 touchdowns. The injury that kept him out of the Georgia game really helped UGA to an upset win. Sean White also playing through an injury really helped.

Darius Slayton and Kyle Davis are both Georgia boys who could well breakout with Stidham under center. Both of them have NFL level talent, they just need a great QB to throw it to them. If Stidham adjusts to the new offense they could both give Georgia’s CB’s fits. They have also always had a decent offensive line and that should continue again this year.

Defensively they are strong in the back end. Former bulldog Trey Matthews is a big player for them linebackers Deshaun Davis and Tre Williams are tackling machines. UGA should have a lot of offensive weapons as well but these players will be key at stopping them.
