No. 4 Georgia is peaking at just the right time, especially after a win on the road against No. 16 Auburn. However, can Georgia keep up the same level of intensity with Texas A&M coming to town? This is the first time the two teams have met since Texas A&M joined the SEC and just the fifth time overall.

After a 21-14 win against Auburn on the road, Georgia (9-1) qualified for the SEC Championship game. Who the Bulldogs will play is still undecided. Georgia’s plan for the season has been to control the clock and the tempo of the game. That’s not going to be easy against an Aggie’s bunch that relies heavily on their running backs. Against Auburn, Bulldogs quarterback Jake Fromm went 13-for-28 with 110 yards and three touchdowns, while running back D’Andre Swift ran for 106 yards on 17 carries. Fromm is efficient, yet hasn’t thrown for more than 175 yards in three of his last four games. Against a run-heavy Aggies team, Georgia’s No. 3 ranked defense has the chance to shine. Only three teams have run for 100 yards or more against the Bulldogs.
While many think Georgia will coast into the SEC Championship game, don’t sleep on Texas A&M. The Aggies (7-3) got their fourth win in a row after a 30-6 victory vs. South Carolina last weekend, outscoring the Gamecocks 17-3 in the second half. That performance moved them to No. 24 in the country. It was an important win for A&M considering South Carolina is the only team Georgia has lost to this season. Quarterback Kellen Mond threw for 221 yards and one touchdown while running back Cordarrian Richardson tallied 130 yards on just six carries and running back Isaiah Spiller rushed for 129 yards. Over the last four games, the Aggies haven’t allowed a team to complete more than 46 percent of its passes, haven’t given up a touchdown throw in three of those four and are allowing fewer than six yards per pass.
