No. 1 ranked Georgia was down 10-0 to Auburn early in the first half, and Bulldogs fans weren’t happy.
While Georgia did answer with a Daijun Edwards touchdown and a field goal, the Tigers are playing their best ball of the season right now.
Buy Bulldogs TicketsTigers quarterback Payton Thorne looks like a different player than we’ve seen thus far this season. His 61-yard rush in the first quarter helped set up the Tigers first score of the game, a 27-yard field goal.
Georgia quarterback Carson Beck looks uncomfortable, and understandably so, as Jordan-Hare is one of the toughest road environments in the SEC.
Beck overthrew a possible touchdown to tight end Oscar Delp and followed that with an interception that set up an Auburn touchdown by tailback Jarquez Hunter.
Auburn opened up the second half with a touchdown after Georgia fumbled.
Slow start, again
Is Georgia really doing the slow first half thing again?

Georgia’s constant slow starts are about to come back and bite them in the ass at this rate

Man, there’s something about this team just sucking in the first quarter. It’s becoming a problem with the slow starts. I’m ok right now though.

Carson Beck struggles
We would be in hell if we didn’t have a good running game cause Carson Beck can’t be trusted.

I like Carson Beck sometimes. He makes the right decisions, sometimes not always the best execution

Dawgs finding a rythmn
Looks like Georgia is settling in here in Auburn. Hopefully the defense can keep up this sliver of momentum and get a stop…

As we get a field goal and touchdown, Georgia has now tied Auburn 10-10 right before halftime! Go Dawgs! #UGA #Bulldogs #GoDawgs

UGA did make a field goal
Before we move on, let’s not overlook the fact that Georgia made a FG.

Beck needs to lob passes more often
One of the things Carson Beck needs to learn is how to get a little more arc and loft on some of his passes. They don’t all have to be bullets.

UGA not aggressive to end half
Come on don’t settle for a tie at half
Don’t agree with not pushing tempo

Five games, five bad starts
Georgia now 0-for-5 in the "playing the first quarter" department.
