Auburn just took down No. 1 Georgia. Byrum Brown's running game dominated the Bulldogs, but Georgia handed the game away when it mattered most. Gunner Stockton fumbled with 58 seconds left, and Auburn converted that turnover into the upset.
This is the kind of loss that stings in Athens. Georgia had the top ranking, had control of the game, and then failed to protect the football at the most critical moment. Stockton's fumble late killed any chance for the Bulldogs to escape with a win. Auburn capitalized immediately, which is exactly what unranked teams need to do against powerhouses.
Brown's ground attack kept Georgia's defense honest all day. The Tigers didn't need anything flashy to get the job done. They leaned on the running game, took advantage of a late mistake, and walked out with the signature win that programs build on. This is Auburn's type of victory. This is the kind of game that changes the trajectory of a season.
Georgia drops out of the top spot after this loss. The Bulldogs will need to regroup and respond, but Stockton's fumble will linger. You can't gift possessions to teams like Auburn late in a game.
