Yes, the Georgia Bulldogs should be able to easily defeat the Auburn Tigers. The Dawgs are the No. 10 team in the nation and are 4-1 overall, while the Tigers are unranked and 3-2 overall, with losses to Oklahoma and Texas A&M.
However, even in the losses, the Tigers' defense has been shockingly impressive, and Barrett Sallee is worried about the Bulldogs getting past it.
Sallee, an Atlanta sports radio host and former CBS Sports writer, is an Auburn alum, so he definitely wants the Tigers to play well on Saturday. However, he highlighted how the Georgia offensive line is missing a few pieces and is damaged in some others.
He also talked about how Auburn's strength is its defensive line, which will directly go up against the banged-up offensive line.
"Auburn isn't a championship-caliber team, but it has a championship-caliber defensive line rotation," Sallee said. "That matchup is a big problem for the Georgia Bulldogs.
Which Bulldogs are missing from the Georgia offensive line?
When the Bulldogs released their availability report (required by the SEC), it listed offensive lineman Malachi Toliver as "out," and had offensive linemen Monroe Freeling and Earnest Greene III listed as "questionable."
Not to mention tight end Ethan Barbour is still out of commission, as are wide receivers Talyn Taylor and Thomas Blackshear. Meanwhile, the Tigers are only missing wideout Horatio Fields and running back Durrell Robinson.

Sallee was pretty much speaking a fact when he said that Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs are having to pull new offensive linemen off the streets in order to piece together any semblance of protection for quarterback Gunner Stockton.
