ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia and Auburn renewed the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry for the 127th time in the past 130 years on Saturday. Fittingly perhaps, an old-school football game broke out.
Neither team could throw the football with very well, including the No. 2-ranked Bulldogs, who came in as one of the top passing teams in the SEC. So, Georgia reverted to the form that earned it the RBU reputation and ran the football for 256 yards and six touchdowns on the way to a 42-10 victory at Sanford Stadium.
Three of those TDs were scored on runs by junior Daijun Edwards, who led Georgia’s running backs with 83 yards on 12 carries. Running backs Kenny McIntosh and Branson Robinson and quarterback Stetson Bennett also recorded rushing touchdowns, with Bennett taking his 64 yards.
