What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorGeorgia led fourteen to nothing and still lost to Auburn, twenty-seven to twenty-four, and the new part is how many ways the Bulldogs found to do it.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAuburn scored the next twenty-four points, folks, and Gunner Stockton gave the ball away three times, two interceptions and a fumble on a designed quarterback draw, NCAA dot com says!
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDesigned. Somebody drew that on purpose.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd the Bulldogs took three personal fouls against Byrum Brown, who ran for a hundred fifteen yards, so Georgia was generous in every department.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt snapped a fifty-four game winning streak against unranked teams, and it's the second straight week a number one has lost to an unranked team.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAuburn's first win in Athens in thirty-one years!
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFifty-four games of streak, gone in three quarters. Georgia fans have my sympathy and my coffee.
