Auburn football fans intimidated by Georgia’s performance vs. Arkansas
On an eventful SEC Saturday that will conclude with LSU-Auburn football at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, the slate was kicked off with a hog whooping at the hands of Georgia.
The Bulldogs rolled into halftime with a 24-0 lead on #8 Arkansas, who has two ranked upset wins on the year over Texas and Texas A&M on the road.
While the Razorbacks offensive line was a sore spot, there was no denying UGA’s defensive dominance at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia.
Auburn football fans didn’t attempt to, instead feeling the intimidation factor from their Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry counterparts:
This defense is elite man. I am not looking forward to next week

Fans: Georgia will play a real team this week

Those same fans now: Arkansas is overrated
This Georgia/Arkansas game serves as a reminder that if you are ZERO THREAT TO THROW THE BALL your run game will suffer no matter how good you are. One dimensional teams get eaten alive by the better teams in our league. I'm looking at you Auburn. #auburnfootball @thewarrapport

Needless to say, Tiger fans are not looking forward to next week as much as they perhaps have been.
While Stetson Bennett isn’t too imposing of a figure under center for Georgia, the Bulldogs backfield should worry orange and blue faithful.
Zamir White is likely NFL-bound and possibly a top pick in 2022. Against Arkansas, though, it’s been James Cook doing the damage.
After what Georgia State RB Tucker Gregg did to Auburn’s defense last week (150 yards and a TD), things could get ugly next week.
