Georgia's Kirby Smart says 'Auburn played and executed better than us'

No. 1 Georgia suffered a stunning upset at the hands of Auburn in a Week 7 SEC showdown, ending a dominant streak with a 27–24 defeat.

The Bulldogs, who entered the game as heavy favorites, faltered late after quarterback Gunner Stockton turned the ball over three times, including a critical fumble that set up Auburn’s game-winning field goal. Auburn’s defense, led by linebacker DJ Durkin, stifled Georgia’s rushing attack, while quarterback Byrum Brown amassed 265 total yards to anchor the Tigers’ victory.

The loss marks the first time since 2005 that Auburn has defeated Georgia on the road, snapping a long-standing Bulldogs’ dominance in the rivalry. Head coach Kirby Smart acknowledged the Tigers’ superior execution, signaling a potential shift in momentum as Georgia faces further challenges in the SEC standings.
