We’re less than 24 hours away from the 127th playing of The Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry between Georgia and Auburn. As always, the Bulldogs have released a hype trailer for the game and it feels like they may have changed course on this one. Let us explain.

Each of the Georgia hype videos this season has featured a player narrator. This one did not. Instead, it focused on “all bite, no bark” and that appears to be in reaction to the comments made by Auburn offensive lineman Brandon Council earlier this week.

“I believe just their third down packages,” Council said according to AuburnLive. “They’ve got some interior stunts that kind of hinders the run game, but we’re going to start off fast. You start off fast and run the ball on them and keep them out of their third down packages. We could demolish them, I believe, personally, upfront.

“Because right now, they don’t have that much depth due to injuries in the interior D-Line, and the guys that do come out- I don’t think they trust them,” Council said. “If we keep them out of third down where they can’t bring packages and keep their main guys on the field, we’re just going to run the ball on them all day because they’re going to get tired.”

Those are bold words from the Tiger offensive lineman, whose team has a 3-2 record on the season. The Bulldogs are 5-0 and ranked No. 2 in the nation.

Georgia has also owned this rivalry of late. It has won 14 of the last 17 games and five in a row. Playing inside Sanford Stadium has been particularly tough for Auburn. Georgia has won seven in a row at home with an average margin of victory over 20 points. The Bulldogs are 29.5-point favorites heading into this one.

Per usual, Kirby Smart isn’t counting any chickens before they hatch. He has a lot of respect for this storied rivalry.

“I will open with the tradition and history of this game is pretty incredible. I think when you talk about one of the oldest rivalries in college football, it’s always been a game that I know, as a player, I looked forward to playing in. It’s been some tremendous games between the two teams, and our guys are looking forward to getting to play at home in front of a raucous crowd, great atmosphere. I’m expecting our fans to turn out and give us an electric atmosphere to play in against a good Auburn football team.”

Kickoff for Saturday’s game is set for 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS. It will be the first time Georgia has had a chance to host an SEC team inside Sanford Stadium this season.
