It’s do-or-die time on the Plains. Auburn and Georgia renew the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Hugh Freeze enters this matchup knowing it’s not just another game — it’s a statement opportunity. Auburn hasn’t beaten Georgia since 2017, and while Kirby Smart’s Bulldogs remain the SEC’s gold standard, this one feels different.

In this episode of the Auburn Express, Mike G welcomes John Smith of Speakeasy Sports to break down every storyline heading into the matchup. From Jackson Arnold’s development to Jeremiah Cobb’s impact in the run game, they cover what Auburn must do to finally flip the script against Georgia’s dominant defense.

Can Auburn’s offensive line hold up? Can the Tigers commit to the run and keep the Bulldogs’ front seven honest? And is this game a quiet referendum on Hugh Freeze’s tenure? All those questions get answered here with deep analysis, data, and passion from both sides.

Later in the show, Logan Fowler joins to discuss why Auburn must run the ball early, how Georgia’s defense stacks up statistically, and whether Freeze is coaching for his job. Auburn fans — this is one you cannot miss.
