Auburn All-SEC star out vs. Georgia football

The top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs prepare to host the Auburn Tigers this Saturday following a narrow victory over Alabama. Auburn will be missing standout linebacker Xavier Atkins, who has been suspended for the upcoming rivalry matchup.

Coaches have declined to provide specific details regarding the disciplinary action. To compensate for the loss of their leading tackler, the Tigers plan to increase the roles of Bryce Deas and De'Marcus Riddick alongside Elijah Melendez.

The game is scheduled for a 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff.
