Georgia Football center Sedrick Van Pran-Grainger spoke with the media after Georgia's win over Auburn and he talks about finishing strong versus the Tigers.
In this story:

Georgia Football center Sedrick Van Pran is the highest rated center prospect that Kirby Smart has ever signed at the University of Georgia, and two season into his playing days, third in Athens, Van Pran has more than left his imprint on this football program. 

He's the unquestioned leader of an offensive line unit that dominated a really expereinced and talented front from the Auburn Tigers on Saturday night. We caught up with Van Pran after the win to get his thoughts. 

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.
