Georgia Football 2017 Season Preview: Auburn Tigers

What do they do not so well:

Auburn have been a defensive power for as long as I can remember. Their line has been one of the main reasons for that. They have however lost two of their main contributors from the past few years. Montravius Adams and Carl Lawson were two of the start defensive player sin the SEC. Both declared for the NFL draft. Their replacements will really have to step up if they are going to once again be a strong defensive front.

2016 signee Derrick Brown was considered a lock to sign for his Georgia home school before he put on an Auburn cap. He was one of the top 10 players in the nation but he did not have a great first season at Auburn. He will need to dramatically improve to replace the void Adams has left.

Georgia is going to have to score points to win this match. I expect this game to be a lot different to last year where it was a defensive battle. While UGA should have a good defense, this Auburn team is too loaded with talent to keep them to under 20 points. The offense is going to have to step up. Jacob Eason could be the key here and if he’s developed the way a lot of us hope, this could be quite the game for him.
