End 1st quarter: Auburn 6, Georgia 0

Wow, what a turn of events. Georgia was primed to have great field position following an Auburn punt, but the Bulldogs roughed the kicker AND muffed the punt, giving the Tigers possession near midfield. Phenix City native D’Antoine Hood recovered the ball.

O
ne play later, Kodi Burns completed a pass to running back Mario Fannin, who went all the way across the field and dove into the end zone for a 52-yard touchdown. (Auburn bobbled the snap on the extra point).

Georgia hasn’t scored, but you get the feeling it’s only a matter of time. The Bulldogs outgained Auburn 158-68 in the first quarter, yet trail.

They went straight down the field on their first drive before Tez Doolittle blocked a 20-yard field goal.

On their second drive, they had a key third-down conversion wiped out because of an offensive pass interference penalty.

I feel like Auburn is just plugging up a cracked dam right now. It’s only a matter of time before it breaks.

One other thought: RB Knowshon Moreno is legit (89 yards in the first quarter), but his supposedly bad offensive line is eating up Auburn’s defensive front. He’s not getting touched until he’s 5 or 10 yards down the field.
