A Semi-Recent History of the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry, in Pictures

1978- UGA 22 Auburn 22. UGA lost only twice this season and finished in the top 15 while Auburn barely rose about .500, however the Tigers busted out the seldom worn orange jerseys and played UGA to a tie on the plains. Supposedly the first color photos of AU in the orange tops:
1982- UGA 19 Auburn 14. This last second deflection in the endzone helped secure UGA's 3rd straight SEC title and a trip to the sugar bowl
1983- AU 13 UGA 7. Bo Jackson ends UGA streak of 3 straight SEC titles with one for Auburn
1986- UGA 20 AU 16. Georgia secured win on the plains and jubilant fans rushed the field. AU personnel doused the fans with hoses, then turned them into the stands. The infamous "game between the hoses"
1992 UGA 14 AU 10. AU had a late drive but when Stan White tried a keep at the goal line and didn't get it, UGA players remained on the ground. Refs couldn't get the ball lined up in time and time ran out for AU.
1996 UGA 56 AU 49. The first OT game in SEC history went for 4 periods, and included a 2nd half comeback by UGA and Mike Bobo hitting corey allen on a bomb in the last play of regulation to send it to OT.
2000 AU 29 UGA 26. Not as thrilling as 1996, but it was the 2nd OT game in the series and featured Rudi Johnson plunging in late for the win.
2001 AU 24 UGA 17. Richt's first DSOR, UGA had the ball on the goal line late but after a run with no timeouts left the clock ran out. Shades of 1992. Richt tries to line up but time runs out.
2002 UGA 24 AU 21. UGA's first east title.
2003 UGA 26 AU 7. Game was never in doubt, UGA wins 2nd straight east title as Odell Thurman returns a Jason Campbell interception 99 yards to seal it.
2004 AU 24 UGA 6. Auburn dominates on the way to an undefeated season.
2005 AU 31 UGA 30. DJ Shockley's return from injury. Back and forth the whole way, AU capitalizes on a safety miscue on 4th down for a long gain and a game winning FG.
2006 UGA 37 AU 15. #5 Auburn still had title hopes while hapless UGA came in losers of 4 of their last 5. Brandon Cox completed as many passes to UGA DBs as AU WRs.
2007 UGA 45 AU 20. AU kept it close for a half but ultimately couldn't keep up. One of the crazier atmospheres in Sanford ever.
2009 UGA 31 AU 24. Close game that wasn't decided until AU's last effort of the game fell short, helped by a jarring hit by Bacarri Rambo on a receiver that would've scored the tying touchdown.
2010 AU 49 UGA 31. Heavy underdog UGA kept it close for about 3 quarters but in the end Cam was too much as AU would continue towards an undefeated and national title season.
2011 UGA 45 AU 7. UGA got payback on a bad auburn squad.

2012 UGA 38 AU 0. This could have been much worse.
2013 AU 43 UGA 382013 featured an AU team that would go on to win the SEC and play for the national title against an underwhelming UGA team. AU would storm out to a huge lead, then see it disappear on the gargantuan effort of aaron murray, only to recapture the lead in the final minute.
2014 UGA 34 AU 7 A pretty good UGA looked for revenge against an alright AU team, and they got it in spades. AU would race to a 7-0 lead on their first possession and not score again.
2015 UGA 20 Auburn 13. AU would score on their first possession.Just before the 4th quarter UGA would score to tie it at 10, before Isaiah Mckenzie took a punt back for a TD early in the 4th to go ahead 17-10.
2016 UGA 13 Auburn 7. For the 3rd year in a row, Auburn (#9 this contest) would jump to a 7-0 lead and not find the end zone again. Bama transfer Mo Smith saves the day in Kirby's first DSOR.
2017 AU 40 UGA 17 UGA entered this game 2nd in the country (and 1st in the playoff rankings) but looked completely overmatched most of the day. Not a lot went right while AU was firing on all cylinders. A sorta close game near 1.5 quarters turned into a blowout to give AU its first of two wins over #1 ranked teams in 3 weeks ending the season.

2017 UGA 28 AU 7 (SEC Championship) For the first time, one of the league’s permanent inter-division rivalries would meet again in the SECCG. UGA was whooped at the LOS in the regular season meeting just weeks earlier, but UGA’s offensive game plan and a shuffled OL roster helped even that up. UGA decided to attack the outside and pass more on early downs which softened up AU’s defense a bit, and the defense shut down AU’s run game. UGA would win the rematch and go on to win its 13th SEC title, good for 2nd most in league history.
2018 UGA 27 AU 10 In what is becoming a strange yet consistent trend in this series, for the 4th game in a row in the series in Athens AU would score a TD in the 1st quarter and no more the rest of the game. The game was just 3 points apart until less than a minute before halftime when Terry Godwin took a 4th down pass for a touchdown to give some breathing room. Swift would do his thing early in the 4th to ice it. With this year’s win Auburn has now gone winless in Athens since 2005, and has not scored more than 1 TD in Athens since 2009.
2019 UGA 21 AU 14 Despite a lackluster offense UGA would surge to a 21-0 lead heading into the 4th quarter. After UGA’s last touchdown the offense would go 3 and out the rest of the game. A dropped interception by Eric Stokes would have all but sealed it, but that opened the door for AU to make a move. AU would score to get some life, then would score again on the first rushing defense allowed by UGA all season. After getting the ball back with 6 minutes left and down 7 AU would drive into UGA territory but turn the ball over on downs after Nix threw behind an open receiver. UGA would again go 3 and out and AU got the ball with 2 minutes left, but a sack on 4th down would end AU’s comeback hopes.
2020 UGA 27 AU 6 Auburn did buck their strange scoring trend in Athens but it did little good. Zamir White controlled the run game and Stetson Bennett in his first ever start was efficient enough to keep the Auburn defense off balance. UGA led 24-0 with a few minute before intermission and the game was never seriously in doubt. Auburn is now 0-7 in recent trips to Athens.
2021 UGA 34 AU 10 This game was a bit tighter than the score may seem. It was 3-3 after 1 and a two-score game at half. Heading into the 4th quarter it remained a two-score game but UGA’s defense stifled any real AU threats and UGA would end up adding another 10 points in the 4th quarter to wrap it up.

The 2017 rematch wasn’t a true indicator of how good Auburn was. We were beat to hell from the DSOR and Iron Bowl. Kerryon tried to play even with the shoulder and rib injuries and had no effect on the game. Several defensive starters were playing through injuries.
This game was the reason why the DSOR was moved to earlier in the season. It was extremely unfair scheduling for Auburn. It’s not realistic to have to beat UGA/Bama/UGA when they usually lead to several injuries with each game.

But the win against Bama got Gus many millions and setup AU for the clusterfeck you now find yourself.

1) You had ULM in between. IT's pussy as hell to cry about having 2 hard games in a 3 game stretch. It happens to everyone; it's the SEC
2) The first year after the change (not counting covid) you got LSu and UGA back to back. Moving the placement of your hard games is still going to leave you with hard games to play.

Again, you don't play UGA and bama back to back. You also act like other teams aren't susceptible to injury. Bama, lsu, and uga play in the SECCG a ton more often than AU does and none of them complain about injuries leading into the SECCG

Thankfully we’ll have a competent coach the boosters will rally behind soon and open up the NIL money.
He did pretty good at Ole Miss when it was still illegal.

3 out of 4 weeks of playing top 5 teams isn’t a fair deal. UGA gets a cupcake every year in GA Tech.
The LSU game was temporary and now it’s back to its regular late September/early October slot.
Let’s not sit here and pretend that Georgia would’ve beaten Auburn 28-7 if it was them having to play three top 5 teams in a 4 week span. The injuries piled up.

Lol how many of them are playing two top 5 teams every year right before the SEC title?

so if tech was good again then it'd be fair? Your argument is simply that alabama is better than ga tech. Boo hoo

I saw it too. It was a 30 point beat down with both teams healthy. The league willingly switched the game up to early October when they saw how tough it was for Auburn to have to play Georgia and Alabama so close together.

Do you have any type of data that backs this up?
Injuries happen in multiple ways regardless of opponents.We lost D'Andre
Swift vs GT in '19 along with Pickens (1st half) for a fight he didn't start.

Auburn had a player hurt in that game. Too tough of an opponent

Stidham8: "Auburn is scared of Alabama and Georgia and needs those games further apart to help alleviate the fear, basically."
Also Stidham8: "My post was so stupid it turned into 15 pages of people making fun of me. I'd better edit it into a political post so it will get anchored and maybe everyone will forget."
We will never forget. Never.

Great post and hopefully good thread sans the lone Gump who tried to screw it up.
