1. What’s next?

This has to be a wake up call for Auburn, as their season is far from over. 1-1 with games against LSU, Texas A&M, and Alabama left on the schedule. They still have a playoff shot, but it will require a near perfect effort for the remainder of the season (and a couple losses from Georgia).

As for next week they will head back home to welcome an Arkansas team that just pulled off a nice upset.

For Georgia, there is a lot to be happy about. The defensive line was able to pick up 3 sacks and keep Bo Nix uncomfortable all night. Zamir White, George Pickens, and Kearis Jackson are stepping up to be the next set of playmakers for this offense. And, they seem to have an answer at the QB position.

Georgia will not be able to rest for too long, as they have back to back ranked opponents on the horizon. First will be No. 21 Tennessee, and after that will be No. 2 Alabama. Should be an exhilarating couple of weeks for Bulldogs fans.
