Georgia Stifles Auburn After Halftime for 20–10 Road Comeback

A halftime pivot after a goal-line fumble flipped momentum, lifting Georgia’s playoff odds before hosting unbeaten Ole Miss.

Overview

  • After trailing 10-0, Georgia scored the final 20 points and held Auburn to 40 total yards in the second half, including just 10 rushing.
  • CJ Allen, with help from Raylen Wilson, forced a goal-line fumble late in the first half that halted a likely Auburn touchdown and shifted the game.
  • Quarterback Gunner Stockton went 23-of-36 for 212 yards and sealed the win with a 10-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter.
  • Penalties loomed large with Auburn flagged 11 times for 103 yards and Georgia six times for 60, as frustrations with officiating surfaced on both sides.
  • An ESPN predictor shown on ABC pegged Georgia’s playoff chance at 72% with the win versus 38% with a loss; the Bulldogs now host unbeaten Ole Miss, while Auburn falls to 3-3 with a third straight SEC loss and turns to Missouri next.
