ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — No. 5 Georgia bounced back from its first regular-season loss in almost four years — and got an added bonus after the game was over.
Trevor Etienne ran for two touchdowns, Carson Beck threw a pair of scoring passes and the Bulldogs wore down struggling Auburn for a 31-13 victory on a sweltering Saturday between the hedges.
About a half-hour after Georgia (4-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) made it eight straight wins in the Deep South’s oldest rivalry, No. 1 Alabama — the team that dealt the Bulldogs a gut-wrenching 41-34 loss the previous week — was stunningly upset by Vanderbilt 40-35.
There were cheers throughout Sanford Stadium and the surrounding parking lots as Georgia fans celebrated an improbable result in Nashville that boosted their team's prospects in the league race.
