The Bulldogs -- never trailed in the game -- scored a touchdown on a 65-yard drive on their first possession. Lumpkin's rushing touchdown was set up by a 53-yard pass to A.J. Bryant that put Georgia on Auburn's eight-yard-line.

Brannan Southerland also had a rushing touchdown, Tra Battle returned an interception 30 yards for a TD, and Gordon Ely-Kelso kicked a 34-yard field goal for the Bulldogs.

Brad Lester scored a TD on a 21-yard run and Rodgeriqus Smith caught a 34-yard touchdown pass for Auburn.
