The Georgia Bulldogs beat the Auburn Tigers 27-20 on Saturday, Sept. 30, 2023. Although the Dawgs’ offense didn’t produce much, Coach Kirby Smart relied on a stout second-half defense to lock in the win.
If you watch the Georgia Bulldogs, you’ll see a college football team trying to live up to its #1 ranking.
Georgia Gets Another Scare
Georgia continues to play just well enough to win the close games. After falling behind 14-3 to South Carolina last week, the Dawgs again played from behind early.
“We’re not going to get where we want to go if we don’t get better,” Smart said in postgame comments. “That’s the biggest thing.”
Georgia’s Run Defense Falters
Georgia’s normally stout front seven had trouble with Auburn’s offensive line, which opened up some huge lanes.
The Bulldogs gave up 219 yards on the ground, the most ever in Smart’s UGA tenure. Smart said he understood critics’ take on his defense, but he said that what they produced is par for the league today.
“I don’t think people respect playing on the road in the SEC as much as I do,” Smart was quoted as saying. “Being an SEC player, a veteran of this league, it is really, really hard to win on the road.”
Bowers Comes Up Big
Although Georgia could get little else going on the offensive end, they had all they needed in tight end Brock Bowers. He finished with four catches for 121 yards, including some major third downs.
Auburn Coach Hugh Freeze had nothing but praise for the Tigers, who jumped out to a 10-0 lead, but were slowed down in a big way after the first three quarters.
“I’m really proud of our kids, but it hurts in there right now,” Freeze said after the game. “And that’s good to see. It hurts. It hurts those kids and our coaches, and our fans I’m sure, too. You have a chance to beat the No. 1 team in the country — back-to-back national champions — at home. The feeling that you get if you can pull that off is just ecstatic.”
Final Play
With the win, the Bulldogs add a significant notch in its belt since many have said that Georgia’s schedule is not as strong as other contenders.
The Bulldogs (5-0, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) remained unbeaten in the SEC and still stake their claim to No. 1.

The Atlanta Falcons traveled to Ford Field with sound offensive and defensive plans for the Detroit Lions. None of it mattered, as the Falcons lose their first game of the season, 20 to 6 to Detroit.
To say that the offense was listless would be an understatement: First-year starter Desmond Ridder was 21 for 38 for 201 yards. Bijan Robinson, who many were hoping would churn big runs, only managed 33 yards on 10 carries.
On the other end of the ball, Lions quarterback Jared Goff threw for 243 yards and one touchdown.
The Falcons finished with 183 yards in their worst performance of the young season. Ridder was sacked seven times.
“They took us out of our rhythm early and we never got it back,” Atlanta coach Arthur Smith told reporters in postgame comments.
Hopefully, the Falcons can bounce back next week with a win. They will need them if they hope to contend for the SEC South.
Final Word
No matter how many wins or losses, one thing we know for sure is that the Falcons will make things interesting.

On a beautiful Saturday evening in Athens, Georgia ran through the UAB Blazers 49-21 to remain undefeated. the Bulldogs could only muster 7 points in the first quarter, but blew the doors off the game with a 21-point second quarter before pouring it on in the second half.
What Was The Georgia Score?
UAB’s defense stopped Georgia on fourth down late in the first quarter and the Blazers turned it into 7 points, but it was pretty much all Dawgs after that.
How Did Carson Beck Play?
Georgia amassed 582 total yards while giving up 336. Georgia quarter Carson Beck went 22 for 32 for 338 yards and three touchdowns. And most importantly, he didn’t have an interception.
Beck’s 1,184 passing yards through four games are the third most by a Georgia quarterback since 2000 (Stetson Bennett and Aaron Murray).
Dajun Edwards led the Bulldogs on the ground with 66 yards rushing on 12 carries. He scored two touchdowns.
With the win, Georgia remains atop the SEC West as well as college football rankings.
