Winners and Losers from Georgia Football vs. Auburn

October 18, 2026

Auburn’s dual-threat quarterback **Byrum Brown** delivered a standout performance in the Tigers’ 27-24 SEC victory over Georgia, becoming the engine behind Auburn’s late-game rally. Brown accounted for both of Auburn’s touchdowns—one through the air and one on the ground—while tallying 150 passing yards and 115 rushing yards on 26 carries, showcasing his ability to dictate the pace from both the pocket and on the move.

His efficiency under pressure, including a clutch field goal that sealed the win, underscored why he’s a key piece for Auburn’s playoff aspirations.

Despite controlling time of possession and outgaining Auburn in total yards, Georgia’s offense faltered due to costly turnovers from quarterback **Gunner Stockton**, who threw two interceptions and lost a fumble in the final minutes. Stockton’s 272 passing yards and two touchdowns weren’t enough to overcome the defensive miscues, while wide receiver **Craig Dandrige** provided the Bulldogs’ lone bright spot with four catches for 88 yards, including a 41-yard gain.

The loss drops Georgia to 6-1 and leaves them facing a tougher test against Florida next, where executing in high-leverage moments will be critical.
