Auburn takes down Georgia: Tigers score massive upset over No. 1 Bulldogs on walk-off FG

Auburn delivered a stunning upset over No. 1 Georgia on Saturday, ending the Bulldogs' 54-game winning streak against unranked opponents with a dramatic 27-24 victory.

The Tigers, led by first-year head coach Alex Golesh, overcame early struggles—including three turnovers and a blocked field goal—to stage a furious comeback from a 14-0 deficit, scoring 24 unanswered points to take the lead. A critical blocked kick, a lost fumble by Georgia’s Stockton, and two personal fouls on quarterback Byrum Brown in the final minutes set the stage for Auburn’s game-winning field goal by Alex McPherson as time expired.

Golesh, emotional after the win, reflected on the moment with humor, recalling his son’s excitement about celebrating on the field—a sentiment the coach shared with pride. The victory marked Auburn’s first win over a ranked opponent since 2021 and snapped Georgia’s nine-game winning streak in the rivalry, including just the second loss to the Tigers under coach Kirby Smart in 12 meetings.
