    The Auburn defense started strong after a great first quarter. Then Georgia's offense started moving the ball consistently and was unable to keep Stetson Bennet and the Bulldogs out of the end zone. 

    The first game without EDGE Eku Letoa resulted in Auburn giving more reps to Marcus Bragg and Colby Wooden being moved around the defensive front to show his versatility. Wooden was Auburn's highest-graded defender of Auburn's 22 defensive players that saw action against Georgia. 

    Auburn's overall defensive grade was 58.3, the lowest of the season. Auburn's rush defense was 60.1, the tackling grade was 65.2, the pass rushing grade was 65.2, and the coverage grade was 58.1.
