Standard-Bearers: 6 takeaways from Georgia football’s 6th win

Georgia football sees dominance in the Deep South’s Oldest rivalry game

Saturday marked the 126th edition of the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry. Historically, it’s been a back-and-forth rivalry, with each side getting their licks in.

Recently though? Georgia has owned Auburn.

The 34-10 victory Saturday on The Plains was the Dawgs fifth straight in the rivalry. In their last nine meetings, Georgia’s walked away as the victor in eight of them, with the lone loss being the 40-17 drubbing at Jordan-Hare in 2017.

Over the last 17 games in the rivalry, Georgia is 14-3, and it took the Prayer at Jordan-Hare for Auburn to secure one of their three wins.

Miracle plays are what have led Auburn to a few of their significant wins, but this time around on The Plains, the Dawgs handled their business. Georgia let Auburn know who is in charge of this rivalry as the overall record is at 62-56-8, in the Dawgs favor.

While 2017 did loom in many fans’ heads, not anymore as this year’s game gave the Dawg nation a much better memory. No Auburn fan should have much to say after this game, even if they scored on the defense, they left the stadium with their tail between their legs.

When it comes to the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry, it’s great to be a Georgia Bulldog.
