Final thoughts on UGA vs. Auburn Tigers and the QBs
- What’s Georgia’s quarterback answer? Nobody knows. JT Daniels is cleared for contact after an ACL injury, but it might not change much for the Bulldogs. Stetson Bennett could receive another start, and the offensive production under his leadership would be significant in order for Georgia to beat arch-rival Auburn.
- Does the altered date of the rivalry make a difference? Usually, the winner of Georgia-Auburn has a clearer path to championship games. In October, the game is vastly different. But players and coaches still understand what the rivalry means.
- Who wins the battle of Auburn quarterback Bo Nix vs. the Georgia shutdown defense? The Bulldogs have been stout in shutting down the run game, but Nix possesses dual-threat capability. Can Georgia keep him contained while not allowing the deep pass?
