What Auburn said about Georgia ahead of Saturday's matchup
Following a very busy news week, filled with Kirby Smart press conferences and Georgia player interviews, DawgsHQ put together several compelling observations that first year Auburn head coach Bryan Harsin made about the Bulldogs. Spoiler alert: he did not hold back in his admiration of Georgia’s football team.
On Georgia’s Preparation
“Georgia is complete in all three phases. When you watch them, you pop on tape, you can see why they have the record they do and the type of performances they have. They’ve got very good players. They play hard. They’re well coached. And that shows up on a consistent basis on film. So really a credit to them for the type of consistency that they’ve shown throughout this season. They’ve got a lot of great players. Too many to mention. But some guys that really stand out on all three phases, really. And I know they make that important and they coach that and they emphasize a lot of things that make them a good football team.”
On Georgia’s Quarterback Situation
“I don’t know about their quarterback situation. JT Daniels is very good. Stetson Bennett, been very impressed with him. You ask that question, are there two separate game plans—but you have a game plan, and I think you understand there’s different players, and it’s not just the quarterbacks.”
On Game Planning for Georgia’s Roster Depth
“Their running backs, all very good. Their O-line does a great job. The tight ends. (Brock) Bowers a very good player. And on the perimeter, the wide receivers, they can make plays. They can go. I don’t know what their offensive game plan’s going to be against us. They seem to be a team that they got a good balance, they got good personnel, and they got two really good quarterbacks, and they’re able to get guys the ball. So, that’s running, throwing—we’re ready for all those things, or will be by the end of the week. I mean, look at when they put different tight ends in the game, when they put different tailbacks in the game. There’s things that, from a defensive standpoint, you need to be ready for, when they’re utilizing different personnel.”

On Georgia’s Defense
“Defensively, the last performance that they had, very good when you have a shutout and you’re able to do that. That’s impressive. And against a good football team in Arkansas. Those guys really played well in that game. You can see that. And they’re playing at a high level. So that’s going to be a great challenge for our offense, as we put together a plan to go out there put together and try to score points.”
On Georgia’s Special Teams
“Special teams, they had a big block in the last game. We talked about that as well. That was a big momentum swing in there. They had some of it, but they continued that with some big plays on special teams. They obviously do a very good job there and that continues to show up just as part of the third phase or one of their phases of what they’re able to do with their offense and their defense.”
