The Auburn Tigers struck first against the Georgia Bulldogs in Saturday’s SEC Championship at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
The Bulldogs defense had no answer for the Tigers, who took the opening possession and efficiently moved down the field. Auburn’s 10-play, 75-yard drive that lasted 5:06 ended with a 6-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jarrett Stidham to wide receiver Nate Craig-Myers.
