Overview

• Thursday’s SEC availability update kept Georgia tackles Monroe Freeling and Earnest Greene III listed as questionable, with Auburn’s Horatio Fields and Durell Robinson still out.
• Kirby Smart said Freeling’s ankle is progressing while Greene continues to manage a back issue that has limited him this season.
• Oddsmakers and models lean Georgia, with a spread around -3.5 and ESPN’s FPI giving the Bulldogs about a 64.5% chance.
• Hugh Freeze said the Tigers’ offense “better” look improved after ranking near the bottom of the SEC in scoring, third-down rate, and sacks through five games.
• Coverage highlights trench play as decisive, with Auburn’s defensive front aiming to pressure Gunner Stockton and both sides seeking to establish the run.
