There wasn't much to get excited about in Auburn's boat-racing by defending champion Georgia, but Jarquez Hunter flashed his skills late in the contest for a score. 

With 10:04 left in the game, Hunter caught a short pass from QB Robby Ashford and broke multiple tackles before outracing the defense to the endzone.    

Auburn-Georgia Series History

Known as the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry, these two teams have played 126 times since 1892. It is the 2nd most-played rivalry in Division One, behind Minnesota-Wisconsin (Battle for Paul Bunyan's Axe) and tied with North Carolina-Virginia (South's Oldest Rivalry); the teams have only missed three matchups since 1898, all for either World War I or World War II.

Auburn won the first game 10-0 in 1892, but is losing the series 62-56. Georgia has won the last five matchups, including a 34-10 victory last year in Jordan-Hare Stadium.
