In-game Replay: Georgia blocks Auburn field goal attempt

It takes all three phases -- offense, defense and special teams -- to win a Championship. And in the third quarter of the SEC Championship at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the Georgia Bulldogs could check off special teams from that list.

During Saturday’s game against Auburn, the Bulldogs blocked a field goal to keep a 10-7 lead midway through the third quarter.

The Tigers’ kicker Daniel Carlson, who is considered one of the best kickers in the country, had his 31-yard field goal blocked by defensive tackle DaQuan Hawkins-Muckle.

In the video, any number of Georgia players could have blocked the kick. That is how much its defensive line pushed Auburn's offensive line backwards.
