Georgia Football quarterback Stetson Bennett met with the media on Saturday night after the 42 to 10 win over the Auburn Tigers. Bennett was 22 for 32 for 204, and added a touchdown with his legs. 

It wasn't exaclty his best performance, particularly in the first half when he was 7 for 13 for just 25 yards. He talked about the game, and some of the misses that he had as well as what Georgia needs to do to continue to get better.

RECAP: Final - Georgia Pours in On in the Second Half

It was a tale of two halves for the Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday afternoon, at least for the offense that is.

It was the usual defensive performance that Georgia fans have become accustomed to under head coach Kirby Smart. A smothering and suffocating performance for the better part of three quarters, followed by a garbage time touchdown once the game is completely out of hands. They were able to pressure Auburn QB Robbie Ashford for the better part of four quarters and forced another turnover on the season when Ashford fumbled in the second quarter.

As for the offense, quarterback Stetson Bennett had another half to forget in the first half, completing just 7 of 13 passes for just 25 yards. He would open the third quarter with a strip sack fumble in the third quarter which led to Georgia giving up a field goal to the Tigers.

After that first possession to open the second half, Georgia went on to score touchdowns on four of their next five possessions, including a 68-yard touchdown run by Stetson Bennett, the longest of his career.

Saturday's performance from Georgia offensively will likely be remembered for the offensive line's effort and execution. There was a clear and obvious push behind created by an offensive unit that struggled to control the line of scrimmage a week ago against Missouri. It was the fourth-quarter push a week ago, in which they rushed for over 100 yards in the quarter, that clearly must have rolled into Saturday's game.

Georgia will play host to Vanderbilt for Homecoming.
