Following Saturday's 42-38 win over Kentucky in Lexington, the Bulldogs are 8-2 overall and 5-2 in the SEC. Auburn is 5-5 overall and 2-4 in the league, snapping a four-game losing streak with a 37-20 win over UT-Martin last Saturday.
"In the SEC, you can't look at a team's record because every game is going to be difficult," linebacker Darryl Gamble said. "We know Auburn has a good team and we know we will need a good game plan this week."
As per their normal Monday routine, the Bulldogs did conditioning for the
first part and ended with special teams work.
"Auburn has a fine football team," Georgia coach Mark Richt said. "We will have to play at a high level in this game. We need a strong week of practice to reach that level, and I think we got off to a good start tonight. I liked the energy and the tempo we had."
Richt announced the captains for this week's game will be Matthew Stafford and Knowshon Moreno on offense, Rennie Curran on defense, and Andrew Williams on special teams.
Earlier Monday, it was announced by the league office that freshman center Ben Jones had been named the Southeastern Conference Offensive Lineman of the Week. Jones anchored the offensive line during the Bulldogs¹ 42-38 road win over Kentucky. Georgia piled up 520 yards of total offense as Moreno rushed for 123 yards and two touchdowns and Stafford threw for a career-high 376 yards and three touchdowns.
