their mind and then the deep south oldest rivalry kicked off and for the Bulldogs that dream turned into a nightmare the Tigers improbable midseason Renaissance has been fueled by the indomitable spirit in iron beer Terry odd there's the jump but this year in this the most demanding of conferences it turns out beating your most ancient of rivals once is not enough for Georgian oven it's

pepper the Georgia Bulldogs and the Auburn Tigers for the 122nd time the deep south oldest rivalry rematch for the ages here in Atlanta today take a look at the college football playoff rankings Clemson and Miami has a date later tonight so does Wisconsin and Ohio State Oklahoma's taking care of their business right now and that brings us to Auburn and Georgia here for the SEC title welcome everybody I'm Brad Nessler my partner as always is gary Danielson Garrett starts back in the spring it works its way through summer and there's 14 teams in this league that have the dream of making it to the first Saturday in December here in Atlanta and in this case it's not only for the conference championship it's for a spot in that Final Four and it's a rematch come on then how cool is that you know Brad for the first 11 weeks of this season I think the story of college football was Georgia I think it was and then for the last three weeks the cat's story has been that good at home or Kay that good playing away from home we will find out and how good are they with their top tailback kind of a question mark carry on Johnson's been the biggest story this week I think with the exception of the coaching carousel I think you're right but you don't forget Johnson to be carry on Johnson he plays physical he knows how to use his legs use that straight arm when you come up to make a tackle she makes you pay if he's not able to use that harm even like he did against Alabama last week how good will this offense be without that running attack that's the big story all week well and the big story in the big question market we'll take you back and show you why he's a question mark health-wise yeah it happened we think may be right here when Ronnie Arison put that helmet on that arm that left arm but then later carry on Johnson felt eight and kind of shut it down and then all week it was how good is carrion of course no one's gonna tell you how good he is but I'm gonna speculate this as you watch him go off there a last game if that arm isn't falling off he's gonna play yet 167 yards on the ground and a screen pass touchdown against Georgia the first time around let's take ourselves back now for Georgia three weeks ago top rushing team in the conference couldn't do it in against the Auburn defense everybody on the Georgia team has to play better and if they do they're two stars will show up they were shut down but they can't block and run at the same time for the offense of work that offenses to be more varied I agree but they're not going to not use those guys they have to be the star and here come the 11 and 1 Bulldogs of Georgia [Applause] [Applause] their home in Athens about 70 miles from here [Applause] [Music] and making their first SEC title game appearance since 2012 Allie LaForce is with Kirby smart trs-80 focus and grounded they realize and respect their opponent and they want another opportunity and that's what they've got today Auburn did something that no other team was able to do this season when they shut down Nick Chubb and Sony Michele how do you put them in a better position to succeed today try to get him some more open runs loosen the defense out some can't get the ball on the perimeter a little bit and put a little more pressure on the quarterback but both those guys that come out give us all they got good luck thank you you saw a burn take the field at tenant 2 7 and 1 in conference play and they're making their first trip to this SEC title game since 2013 and alleys with Gus Malzahn right now coach you told us all week that carry on Johnson would be a game-time decision after watching him warm up what was the decision yeah he's gonna play he's gonna start the game he's feeling good we'll see how it goes how much more pressure does that put on Jared if carry-on is limited how does that change the equation for him yeah we get out of conversations other guys they got a lot of practice I got a lot of game reps and I think we'll be ready Thank You coach good luck thank you there's the news we want it number 21 we'll be in the starting lineup George you won the toss and deferred so Rodrigo Blankenship will tee it up Auburn will touch the football first here in the SEC title game Oh is there some electricity in this building Big Ben knocking and Martin are back deep and Blankenship is he's done so many times knocks it out of the back of the gun zone so the Tigers will take over at the 25-yard line and with that our Dr Pepper starting lineups and it brings us one of the hottest quarterbacks right now in the country he has been on a roll there's his numbers tops in the SCC fourth in the nation and completion percentage not only was some sensational throws but he's been doing it with his legs in the last couple of weeks as well which is added another dimension to the Auburn offense Jarrett's to him this time a year ago he was a scout team quarterback for a high school team in Waco Texas a little bit different yeah you know but he's earned she's earned the coaches respect and confidence that they could call any play anywhere on the field Darion Johnson written in the Auburn backfield ah now he'll come under center and it's an end-around to Eli Stone and stolen got about four before he's one bad David Marshall made the stop for Georgia here's the rest of the starting group for the Auburn Tigers KC done another great story Jacksonville State a year ago a grad transfer of brother and sister both are at Auburn as well and he was the SEC lineman of the week three weeks ago against Georgia Auburn actually substituted there and the officials really didn't allow Georgia to substitute and get lined up I think they properly slowed it down to not give our Bern advantage on that snap Chandler Cox in the backfield as well actually an h-back on the right Slayton in motion play fake in a throwback screen and George is all over that DeAndre Baker with a open field tackle how different because Auburn really hurt Georgia in the first game with screens slow screens every type of perimeter throw and they're chasing it down now too much so last time that time Georgia said we're playing man-to-man and we're challenging his receiver opening third down third and nine Auburn 46% of the third down conversions out of the year now in Georgia find a pass rush like Auburn hood Georgia in Game one they're going to bring an extra guy or two instead of got rid of it incomplete intended for Slayton and it was Baker in coverage flags down though I think he grabbed him with this right hand pass interference number 18 right to the outside he was the Andre Baker number 18 one-on-one me to the outside was Slaton a little bit of a contact and ironically he would have had to do that yeah ironically also remember it was Kirby smart who was complaining about the holding from the awkward offenders and [Music] Beckett made one good play and then accounted for that penalty that gives off on the first down at the 37 yard line you can see Georgia will substitute every time Auburn does to slow the pace down big shift there as Stidham goes back into the shotgun Dareon Johnson off the left side almost broke into the secondary got about seven bring up second down in threes we take a look at Georgia defensively and their bell cow back there's Rokon smith leading the team in tackles for a second straight year again and I don't mean to harp on it I guess I am though Bob Bern is substituting and that slows the pace down because Georgia matches it every time second down and three from the 44 Darion Johnson he's got the first down [Applause] bread you know we're talking about wide receivers and running backs and what is opera do they send out two offensive lineman as captains Brandon Smith and and Austin Golson two seniors that have seen a lot of football that's the guys to send that here's the first Wildcat of the day carry on Johnson's gonna get off - Eli stove and stone has got a first down Auburn down to the 35 yard line what a change you know you're gonna go Wildcat George has been for three weeks thinking about this Wildcat and carry on Johnson so what do they do hand it off a beautiful fall again substitutions on both sides Georgia gets there to last players to hustle off and its first down Auburn started this drive at their own 25 they've gotten a first down by penalty and again stove on but he broke out and got four yards [Applause] carry on Johnson virtually every game this year's been a big game but didn't play it Clemson with a hamstring problem and then really came to light in those games LSU anm Georgia and last week against Alabama [Music] is that the defensive team has the right to comfortably substitute and comfortably is a little different for some of us 325 days and it is a linebacker second down at six play-action Stidham you get some pressure closed on the one the 12 yard line and it spots the H back we'll attach Chandler Cox was running the wheel route he was wide open for five seconds is offered starts the hurry up I got to be careful Tehran's went over it goes fast I got to tell you that down to the 10 yard line Stidham is gonna go out there slightly hit by Rokon Smith's all right Fergus is going I'd like to start going deep on these routes again Wow this is a guy we talked about on the Georgia defense that is the leader without it that not just a leading tackler but makes the calls and delivers the wood there in the Wildcat again with Cariad Johnson second and goal [Applause] fake the jump pass and that plan ahead to the pylon not going to get there Georgia drops in for a loss of horn pretty creative why not try it right you tried to jump past one time why not fake it and get outside but rope on Smith gets to the edge Lorenzo Carter can run down those type of plays and Georgia with a great defensive play maybe their best defensive playing outside the two quick screens of this Drive [Applause] three carries 11 yards he lost one there third down and goal stood him back in at quarterback last time I third down they blitz will they do it again Stidham play fake endzone touchdown Nate Craig Meijer [Applause] hey craig peyer's had the jump pass from Carrie on Johnson a week ago today it's from his quarterback six yards and a score Aaron Davis number 35 is one on one coverage middle your screen he gets beat inside the only place he could not get beat and when you've got a trigger man throwing that type of stripes like Stidham is right now those are easy Daniel Carlson's 195th straight extra point is up and good [Applause] offer and takes it the length to the field 75 yards in 10 plays a little over five minutes they got help from one big penalty but their quarterback red-hot his 17th touchdown pass of the year the Tigers draw first blood at mercedes-benz Stadium [Music] for the 11th salmon 13 games Auburn scores first seven on to kick this one will not be returned and Georgia will come out to the 25-yard line as we take a look at the dr. pepper starting lineups for the dogs and it all starts with the freshman from Houston County High School in Warner Robins local product Jake from Jake closing in on 2,000 yards passing on the season he's had some big moments for a guy as young as he is obviously an A playing in the SEC championship game my advice to Jake from is do not try to do too much be yourself when the plays arise give them the ball but don't try to be something you're not in this game as you saw season 12 total yards and rushing yards three weeks ago against Auburn here's a toss sweet Nick chug chug one more guy and he might have been really off to the races the Sean Davis George at the beginning of the season was looking for somebody to emerge as a wide receiver there's become the big play guide for Jake from Devon winds that leads the dogs in receptions yardage and touchdowns so the timeout came with Georgia with the first and tenth at their own 38 yard line Auburn's defense has given up only to first quarter touchdowns all year one of them was to Georgia on the dogs opening drive three weeks ago at jordan-hare there's a toss sweep and Sonia Michele drop the ball lucky for him in our last time in the big game in Georgia was number one on the road we thought they were a little tight to no be in you know all of the game and you know these guys have played in so many big games now I just can't really attribute that to it so he Michelle just took his eye it's simple as that his eyes will be on the sidelines and deandre Swift the freshmen will check into the Georgia back here on second down to ten groans gonna flip it out and squit never turned around woulda hit him in-stride had he turned around I think when you know I think psaltery Williams coming out to the outside and inviting the pic and I think swift said I'm gonna go deep I think he thought he would could cut underneath that it made an adjustment and Jake Brown had no chance on that almost got him at the back of the helmet yeah you know freshman to freshman could be David's dangerous yes exactly in a game of this magnitude so third down at ten Georgia the top third down team in the SEC fifth in the country but they got to get all of this one and here comes that rush from other Bicol Hardman at a first down how about that throw we talked about Jared Stidham putting that ball perfectly on target good protection this time nobody add his feet a perfect throw to the outside Iko augment his 19th catch of the year big one for a first out in the otter territory for the first time for the Bulldogs that's a good cover guy Carlton Davis on him that was a great route by [Applause] under center with Sully Michelle behind him play-action the heat daddy goes set by Trey Matthews of former Bulldog bite sometimes you shake your head if you watch this college football game and as soon as a quarterback competes um completes a pass and you can't get a pass rush what does the other team do start bringing the heat every time you watch it they say we're not letting that guy back there just standing there and gain his confidence early we're gonna let him then we're going to be on his feet his waist his shoulders and in front of his eyes all day so that puts Georgia behind the sticks badly second down at 17 they're edge it up there like they might bring some heat again Sunday Michelle trying to cut it outside got a block on the edge near midfield before he's run down there by Javaris davis as we check the Auber defense for you Jeff Holland he was a major pain in Jake Fromm's backside the first time these two teams played he had a sack he had three quarterback pressures I called his name more than anybody on the defense if that happens again it won't be good news for Georgia fans that's for sure and you look you got the tight end right there willing to help watch him chip to help the tackle on the play there's the chip and this data comes from the other side Dante Lea's rustle of a sack so they offer defense like they did three weeks ago put the heat on the Georgia quarterback that's the big problem with this Auburn defensive line you cannot kion just one player they've got four Elite pass rushers up front and if you help on one side the pressure comes from the other side all four of them had a sack the first time around all for Starling defensive lineman so as gary said you block one too many times and it's coming from somewhere else this one should be returnable from the 13 yard line six or seven yard return by Stephen Roberts gives it back to the Auburn offense is they're trying to file everybody somebody lost a helmet Roberts did in all of that six sixteen remaining first quarter that tough tiger defense does its job again offense when we go back [Music] so Auburn's got it back on offense at the 24-yard live with a touchdown lead spitting to throw on first down first daddy's got someone down Ron Smith tracked him down but I think they're gonna move the chains on this one that's the beauty what Jarrod stood up is bringing to the offense we've talked about this so much that Bob Berg traditionally under Gus has had the running option throw down the satellite and stone has got another Auburn first down what a great adjustment by Eli stove and Jared Stidham it was supposed to be a quick screen out here don't let it's blown up the adjustment is made and they get a big play out of it what a heads-up run by both of those players Johnson [Applause] a couple that's something you cannot teach I thought it was gonna be picked off well perfect elevation on the ball just high enough over Loretto Carter who goes about six five on the play but remember that was supposed to be a wide receiver screen and two players adjusting on the fly seven nothing the end of one will return to Atlanta after this message and a word from your local station [Music] set to start the second quarter of the SEC Championship on CBS presented by dr. pepper Auburn with a touchdown lead and of all just inside the 30 second down a 3km Martin in the back and the first down run so he's come in for the last couple of plays with carrion Johnson having carried the last snap of the second by the first quarter rather and there was a little bit of added touch and it was on his right arm that's where the rumors are that he's suffering that right shoulder problem and he really was a little pain as he went off and you know Kay Martin need to talk to Gus no matter how many times you talk to him he says Cameron's a good football player just doesn't have a lot of experience and doesn't have a lot of size to take carry the workload like carry on knows or to be a pass blocker alright that's another problem so far stidham's perfect in the redzone at the 18 [Applause] the shot from real Quan Smith but he had a good gain on the play as we check in with Ali hey guys I'm standing behind carry on Johnson he hasn't received any medical attention it doesn't seem like any part of his body is bothering him he's not grabbing his arm for his shoulder players are coming up to him though I'm trying to keep him fresh mentally so he's good to go when he does into the game again no thanks alright tackle has shifted out one of those gimmick formations that's our offensive tackle right there goal so number 73 [Applause] brings it back down throws across his body throws it out of my own well defended by Georgia they've seen all these tricks they've adjusted to him and made no easy throws the look you know I can actually think that Mel Tucker defensive coordinator Kirby smart said if they beat us they're gonna beat us down the field I'm tired of look at those wide 4cf scrapes they have taken that away there's Mel in the red jacket Georgia's red zone defense best in the conference let's see if they can get a stop on third down and six that was the first incompletion thrown and he threw that one away on purpose and Davis and motion Lorenzo Carter trying to put heat up the middle from the backside and the ball is out still loose Georgia might have this looks like Auburn was going to get on top of it but I'm not sure now neither of the officials it's Georgia law davin Bellamy's the guy that caused the fumble and it saved three points remembering gave one Georgia got a fumble to save three points as well [Applause] instead of it Bellamy comes right around the corner this time and he beats a good football player in Austin Golson gets around it and retreats back inside boy that clock that mental clock when you're in that position right there that's how Jarret Stidham started the season against Clemson holding on to it a little too long and a play that for sure is a sure three points ends up in a zero great stop by Georgia second forced fumble by number 17 davon Bellamy gives it back to the Georgia offense and Nick that's his best run of the day a pickup of about 17 and the best part was a ran through tackles how many did you run through three of them at least [Applause] like crazy to get back near the line of scrimmage oh man Jeff Hollander that play Brad he just took tight in blazevich and put him into the backfield this is a tough matchup watch Holland and watch what he does to the tight end bang-bang-bang blew up the play we said if we call Holland's name a lot it's not good for Georgia wasn't on that work zone him a shell in the backfield now on second down wants to throw fires godwyn made a catch what he is lassoed by Carleton Davis second and long played in front of you just make sure you make the tackle bobert believes their secondary is successful because they tackle the catch we saw a great example of that right there Carlton Davis a three year starter [Music] and forces a third down and eight from weights fires late got his made second time he's got one too Miko Hardman for a first down I made a note on my board here you believe it or not I think tip from is a good throw to the outsides of formation I saw it against Notre Dame you've seen it through the year he throws the out route really well through it going the other way in the first quarter and Hardman for the second time on the first down for the dogs at their own 47 yard line play action quick slant and it's me Cole and Georgia's got something working boy here's an RPO you wanna play defense you have to deal with this watch this plan to pass up to the quarterback it's his decision on the play and he made the right decision on that 134 yard pickup down the middle and now it's Oda Michelle battles his way for about three [Applause] when number nine people are running play the offensive line doesn't even know it's a pass and make right into the open area Georgia and Jake frogs got working two of those three completions to me Cole Hardman play-action here fires end zone just over the outstretched arms and a flag flies in Wims was the intended receiver well remember what Kirby was complaining about he felt his receivers [Applause] Furby remember he was a defensive backfield coach it's right down here holding holding holding he felt in Game one and he gets the call right there was a good call he had a whole handful of Jersey not to match the hand fighting that was going on before that and even with that I think Kirby's smiling on the sidelines I think you should send you would thank you know we love the referees okay they got great integrity but you know you got it splints part of the game to play the refs gamesmanship yes Georgia's got it first and goal try to tie this game up at the 2-yard line Sully Michelle the tailback in the eye they faked the toss from end zone [Applause] this is Jim Cheney's version of the jump pass you do it a little differently here's the tight end right here now watch the strong toss that's the jump part of it right here okay here's the jump and then here's the pass just do a little different angle but the same result two weeks ago I set a Jim Chaney how come you don't use it tight end more often he said don't try to be an offensive coordinator Blankenship what's good you were right at least for Isaac Nauta his second touchdown catch all year remember George's stopped Auburn on a fumble recovery and then they took it 84 yards in seven plays Jake from nearly flawless the touchdown de nada were even in Atlanta [Music] 784 yard drive after the fumble recovery the touchdown pass [Applause] the chips kit will not be returned Auburn's Tigers will bring it out to the 25 [Applause] a burn from the 25-foot throw out in the flats to Ryan Davis have to hold him to about a three-hour game second and seven carry on Johnson his first carry since it looked like he was shaken up and he didn't have much on that one the Andre Walker was part of the reason those delayed runs remember we talked about how he's patient with the ball that patient works unless the deep offensive line doesn't block when the offensive line has a big whiff you're gonna get a big negative play when you're standing behind the line of scrimmage and then you're facing third down and 11 that's the second big missed by Austin Golson number 73 left tackle in this game he's played every position on that line except right guard over the course of the year and Georgia get pressure again Stidham they're getting Sun on him right now and he's got to get it rid of it and roll it out to the sideline Robert I'll tell you there it is not relying on three or four players they've decided stidham's too good to sit back they're coming after I'm okay to rush three four five or six this time it's five you get the extra rusher because he's actually covering the back it's a - usually at five plus one when the block at when the back locks a marshal apart [Applause] nice kick it's gonna have to clear [Applause] [Music] it bounced in front of him doesn't really bounce anyplace yeah but that's a big win for Auburn the way they cover punts and kickoffs vent lands on the turf and stops and they'll take it if you're offered seven seven game in Atlanta George's from the 32 selling Michelle got a block on the corner got the edge and soon Michelle goes for about 20 it's early Werner that time number 89 the tight end if you're gonna one rot wide Werner goes in motion and gets the end memo skirt scrimmage comes across and hooks it right there what a great job through the outside got it to midfield and Fromm comes up throwing complete after Godwin we've got about five more Charlie Werner the guy on that block his uncle was an all-american Scott Horner defensive back for the dogs back in the vince dooley hey days of the 80s giorgia back in Auburn territory at the 46 pretty good day for Jacob 7 on a 876 and a touchdown Hayes gaining confidence and you know what the offensive line is giving them confidence with good pass protection here comes a blitz off the corner just flips it out the son of Michelle say to the channel down the sideline Michelle inside the 20 boy did he plant his foot on that one that time Trey Williams number 30 the man got there too slow too much space and Williams misses the tackle and when Sony Michelle gets a crease he can burn you they burned him for 32 yards to the 14 Nick jump back in the Georgia backfield clowns going to flip it out to Nick chopped this time and Nick first and all around the floor Riley Ridley got a block to the outside that time first it's a tight end now a wide receiver to the outside givin them opportunities to create space a completely different Georgia attack from Game one they're keeping it wide open and quick throws person goal at the three Nick Chubb tried he got close but not in keep it by throw it quick and then hammer Davidson who just got back in there with a wrapped-up elbow made the tackle but its second and goal inside the one and now they're gonna lose yardage on this one good job by Auburn's defense yeah at that time Auburn's defend went all-out gamble they were playing run all the way on that play they guessed if it would have been a play-action pass it would have been an easy walk into Sean Davis was hitting the line of scrimmage you know on half a second before the snap and hit at full speed they couldn't block on so that's third and goal last time they were in this spot Jake from through to his tight end for a touchdown they got a couple of them out there in blazer ditch and nada yeah and this is the spot on the field in this situation we're from is a threat to keep the ball third and goal that's not an emotion whereas throws got his man God wouldn't touch down it's gotta be a thick you got to do it better than that Georgia that's too obvious that has to be a pick is there a flag on the play I don't see one I don't see one oh I do now I do now it's the Clemson play going the other direction remember yeah remember the national championship game Bama fans good while watch the outside recruiter comes in gets the pick on the play I think it was a whim way out and then Goodwin Godwin ends up being free actually you know it was the defender and everybody just slammed together a bump and run he's trying to get it away but that's just not gonna be allowed well that negates the two yard touchdown pass it backs it all the way up around the 18 yard line you think you're gonna Steve Shah the head of the officials in our booth you think we're able to get that one sent to the office mr. Shah he's smiling here the goal at the 17 Santa Michelle straight up the middle Georgia plays it safe to play for the field goal and get all over here we go back one more time and look at the play from up here first look was that rims just blocked the player but its second look you watch it again and there was a lot of contact play the blankenship in to attempt to field goal boy that's a different little look at it right there isn't it from the pylon cam or was it one of our hand that was a different look blankenship 13 out of 15 on the year 27 yard field goal is good let's go down to Alex coach the penalties cost you a touchdown posture defense an interception why so many self-imposed mistakes well we're being aggressive those are undisciplined aggressive penalties go do a better job executing you do what we coach to do in a game that's so evenly matched what will set you apart in the second half well think again it comes down to keeping your composure and playing with physicality that's what we're trying to do sure that's what's gonna tell about now in the locker room what a great answer right there we'll take aggressive penalties not dumb ones end of the first half with a score Georgia ten a burn seven we'll be back with a dr. pepper tuition giveaway after this message from your local station well maybe we'll have some new legends 2/4 from now 10/7 George you'll get the football to start the third quarter different feel isn't it well it was 16 to 7 of half-time offers three weeks ago what's the difference big difference your fuel in this football game you know the defensive line and offensive line for Georgia that got dominated they're dominating kick will go the Hartman so George you brung it out to the 25 and we'll send it down moments ago this was Ali with that's okay they're playing really good we got to get the momentum back in the second half so Georgia with a lead here at the break that wasn't the story three weeks ago at jordan-hare when they trailed by nine here's a flea-flicker that didn't work the first games not going to work here either so they tried that three weeks ago and they didn't get it blocked and they didn't get it blocked again and actually was the same player to Sean Davis who stopped both plays last time it was Davis number 57 and it's Davis again number 57 but all fairness offers defensive backs had the play cover we probably won't see that again so the fake jump pass didn't work and now the flea flicker didn't birth both sides and burned one of their trick plays second down at 10 Ron gets deandre Swift set where he wants him micro ruin and does Swift can't get away from Davis nice open field tackle it's Jackie Valley Williams going to the locker room I have now been filled my offer he's out for the game with the right shoulder injury also Carlton Davis out for the game for undisclosed reasons if I learn more I'll let you know that's big storage that is huge then means Tavares Davis will be one of the corners and in Jamel Deane on the other corner let's see if they try to go that way on third down and four got one in motion from fires complete I don't know if it's a first down the Godwin though it's going to be really close [Applause] I think it's going to be just short and I thought you know member Robert Foster last week for Alabama yeah remember they can't see that yellow line like we can if foster would have dulled forward he might have made it and on this play the same thing a little dive to his left could have been a first down and you know you react the way you do it's live out there and that time they didn't quite get to the sticks George or try to draw offsides you can't afford you get Waldron the ball to 50-yard line [Applause] here comes neither like we said earlier neither legs only given up 9+10 punt returns now after the first half and Stephen Roberts trotting back around his own 10-yard line to like hit this one a mile and he Robert has to clear out it was a beautiful pun but a good bounce for Auburn so Georgia had their chance on offense to open the third Auburn is on deck back in Atlanta at the SEC Championship on CBS presented by dr. pepper Georgia with a field goal lead as we took a look at the game trends carry on Johnson has not been the carry on Johnson we've seen all year Jarrett Stidham there he's sharp in the first half for Auburn and likewise Jake from 11 to 13 in fact a couple times but has a touchdown fast as well why nots to stack to each side for a student let's ease up the middle closed late and got it and this time Georgia that might be the play of the day so far for Jerry he rides up for the pocket feels it sees the red the white jerseys coming at him and makes the big first down throw maybe his best play of the day and when they get a play like that they go in a hurry and here they are on a cross to carry on Johnson and he got to the edge Brooklyn Smith will running unceremoniously out of bounds and the Auburn sideline looking through a flag doesn't get one they finally found some space for carrion Johnson to get to the outside and run but watch again no straighter he's kind of running protecting himself as he runs got to give him a lot of credit it's such a big game he asked the play but you can tell he's not the carry on this one he was in the playoffs five games ago they had to win every game right now they've worked it to the 32 yard line started at their own 20 Darion Johnson said hurry up play clock at four they get the snap delayed and throws wide open Davis another first down inside the 20 I'll tell you what when the running game just gives over and everything Jared Stidham adversary' on those passes is just amazing to watch you know I've been watching college football for 25-30 years and when you get a hot quarterback like that marry it with just a little running game you got a potential big-time offense from the 19 jump cut by Johnson stack was down to the 15 you were wrong on that Brad there was two jump cuts on Emily called my I missed one it was kind of a hop skip and front punch jump jump yours to it the pay will be got it at the 15-yard line they're opening possession of the third quarter is taken up 65 yards in two and a half minutes and they're you know each other Stidham that pentose throws to the corner of the endzone incomplete well that time Georgia secondary never came out of the deep safety you keep her defender deep and you have nowhere to go down in the middle watch slate and go down the sea Mary thinks he's open but the quarterbacks got nowhere to go you have to throw it away and good defensive call that time by Georgia and Mel Tucker [Applause] so third down at six where's through the window and death hidden to mercedes-benz Stadium well they blitz on this one last time they played it safe blast down on second now does it look like a doesn't know one comes from Rokon smith and it's going to pay off because Trenton Thompson just got enough of an ankle I just did him to bring him down habit this time no turnover at least for Auburn good job by this Georgia defense stemming this drive so much success but the light oh wow good block that time to clean it up by Braden Smith number 71 where there would have been a big hit and this would have been a longer field goal as it is the all-time leading scorer in Sec history set for a 31-yard field goal attempt his holders been there for every one of those points who's blocked and Dominick Sanders is mad at for Georgia and this was just a mush rush up the inside a huge play by the Georgia special team oh by the way everyone is rented it looked like it was just a push too much of a push inside over the middle and Inlet yes that was just too much of a rush inside he got the block Hawkins muckle is the guy that got it and a 31 yard field goal that you thought was a chip shot for that guy is blocked by Georgia you know that's six points remember in the four game one Georgia left points on the field now offered his left six points on the field [Applause] complete after Godwin and Terry Godwin's got it at midfield and into Auburn territory could you give me a favor and confirm that I wrote on my board throws well to the sideline sod he really does I don't know why he's comfortable throwing he sees the opening I don't know if he looks in front of me he doesn't see a lot of jerseys and he just feels better but he's as good as there is I've seen it a long time of throwing the ball to the outside a great skill to have a pickup of 31 - Godwin at the Auburn 49 yard line they faked the end-around Proms going to throw it short great decisions by the quarterback Jake prob as we look at I guess the only scenarios we got left right I think three spots are gone I mean Oklahoma wins we're down to one more scenario and if Wisconsin in wins Alabama's AA Big Ten is going to take that other spot but scenario - oh my goodness like I said before I might even watch this show if this happens because that committee is between a rock and a hard place especially with those two teams [Applause] job ran into his own guy bounced off and met Chuck on his way down inside the 25 might have been the best thing he could have done is run into his own blocker he pin mold off of that inflicted 20 yards when Kevin Steele talked to us about his biggest fear is he said that when these backs get a sliver they could make what is supposed to be an eight yard play into a 20 yard play you saw it right there which is exactly what it was a 20 yard pickup down to the 24 of author so Lea Michele out for the moment Ali reports to us from the sideline who saw him doing the 10 earlier and DeAndre swift ain't a bad replacement as the number three back most freshman's in there [Applause] out of this well we've talked about it I don't know if the committee is sickan weird the biggest Wisconsin fans of all time because remember last year they vaulted Ohio State over the Big Ten champions and look at Alabama who I think clearly had from Game one to the end of the seeds in the most consistent season they got one less loss do you leave out the Big Ten you give two to the SEC what a decision try to decide things on the field right here quick slants broken up and set it for whims it's going to be third down of eight it was coming inside man-to-man coverage get no easy throws at the end of the play the Sean Davis is very lucky he missed with that launch with this helmet right there if that would have gone head to head he might have been out of the game Wims doesn't have a catch today that one was too far out in front of him he's been their big play guy they like to go 50/50 ball to the outside on the empty backfield gonna flip it out the deandre Swift can he get any block not enough maybe to the 18 really surprised without Carlton Davis in the game they're great man-to-man quarterback at the corner why yes and Georgia tried to throw the 50/50 ball to wimps he's so good at it memory started the game off last time against armored that was the first drive when they scored Roderigo Blankenship hit from 27 earlier this would be a 35-yard field goal attempt to try to stretch George's lead to 6 looking for his fifteenth field goal of the year and do it George attacks on three more [Applause] so the dogs have a six-point advantage we've got 126 left third quarter Brad Nessler gary Danielson Ali the force in our CBS crew mercedes-benz stadium in Atlanta SEC Championship on the line we've got 16 minutes and 26 seconds of game time remaining starting the game some part of me as both quarterbacks are playing well but the defenses are playing better yep blankenship we'll just hit the field goal this one's going to be returnable I think the right side line and collision over there about the 22 let's check in with Alec guys Saudi Michelle is out indefinitely he came out of the tent they put a brace on the left knee but he went out to the sideline hit and liked it came back they took it off they also took off the compression sleeve he is out for now Kirby came up to him and said how are you doing he shrugged his shoulders he's very uncomfortable with that Lefty you get to this point of the season and everybody's banged up we talked about carry on Johnson obviously throughout the game he's back in there right now but he's not a hundred percent salting Michelle's not a hundred percent a hundred percent sending Michelle is easier to take than a nine hundred percent carry on Johnson Riley yep that there was a camp that way there might be either different on first down quick pass on the screen to Davis great hustle from inside that time by David Marshall defensive tackle David Marshall sees the quick screen and then from the backside he turns and runs and lays out to make that play how's that for hustle Brian Davis who became the single-season reception leader in Auburn history at 11 catches last week against Alabama h-half pretty much but we still got a quarter to go [Applause] Stidham going deep Slater's out there he overshot and did a good coverage vibey Andre Baker that's a great matchup today it's been a great battle confident on the field into the classroom today's scholar athletes presented by Quicken Loans Roderigo Blankenship who's got a couple of field goals today Casey done it was the SEC Player of the Week against Georgia three weeks ago Quicken Loans commitment to the investment of our future shown today by donating a thousand dollars to Georgia and Auburn's general scholarship fund here's a sugar puddle my third down and they break it in a hurry stead of under center and the games to carry on Johnson for the first down and that might bring us to the close of the third quarter as he got it out to the 35 yard line [Music] well they say big decisions are easy when you have no other options now is you got to decide do we still have the carrion Johnson option or do we have to decide to do something else [Music] we're gonna have a few minutes to think about it standing pat and no use making mistake here they look a little disorganized the chakra fish necklace looks like they're gonna try to I guess they will students gonna run with it took a big hit at the end of it big play for his legs you know I have to admit Gus Malzahn told us yesterday we were talking to coach miles on don't undersell Jarrett's athletic ability he can make J's well you're not gonna call any runs for him are you oh yeah it's all on the line we played three quarters in Atlanta six ranked Georgia leads number to Auburn 13 to 7 who's gonna win the SEC title we got 15 more minutes to figure it out we'll return to Atlanta right after this message and a word from your local station we start the fourth quarter for the SEC Championship in Atlanta Georgia leads 13 to 7 Auburn with the football and its own 47 yard line with the first down the game is to carry on Johnson Georgia another costly turnover let's like the strip sack earlier I'm stood him and the dogs have got the ball back so all the scars on that first possession of the game 7 possession sense no points [Applause] let's see you got it may be Lorenzo Carter yep yes he did Marianne Johnson can't really say it's you don't know which shoulder it is we haven't been told a lot did not control that bullet protect it you can see the ball swinging just as carter's hand came out so Bellamy and Carter the two foot cats who came back to Georgia for one more year and produced two turnovers in the span they call themselves the Wolfpack the dog pack in this case has got the ball back at the 39 of Auburn [Applause] Arion Johnson beside himself and I'd offer inside life down [Applause] Jack okay all the way to the 22 yard line Javad wins number six has a caught a lot of passes but he caught a big block to the outside left part of your screen watch that block to the left side that's what allowed an extra eight ten yards for Jeff from Jake from 17 yards to the 22 you know so far this last five game winning streak for Robert has been so dominating chairman steel has not been forced to blitz but now you wonder if they have to do it it's a toss on the ender he gets tagged down at the 18-yard line at a flag look like it might have been a little late and I think the officials are going to agree that one little bit it's tough when you get somebody on the sideline personal foul [Applause] Stephen Roberts number 14 is the guy who got and let's see at the end of the play he's getting pushed by not a number 18 at the same time when he throws him down it's again one of those calls remember down at the goal line when we had the pick play sometimes the officials see things that had flashes really quickly I think the combination of not as blocked and him having his hand out appeared that it was a late hit one tough call for Georgia one tough call for Auburn just outside the Auburn 8 yard line Georgia's got it first and goal DeAndre sweat is behind and he gets a call two yards for Swift on the inside coming to the outside Roberts gets a hold of humble watch from cut I mean now to come in and give him a little shove [Music] was it later than that when he gets up was at the end of the plane that just looked like a nothing play to me and this big of a game to call that that's the least favorite call I've seen to the game jump back in therefore Georgia as the deep back behind throm on 2nd and goal at the six and he's going to throw back shoulder got it Godwin touchdown flag down outside lined up in the neutral zone another man the question well I come for the 50/50 throw to the outside [Applause] on the other end of the field we're going to get it down at the bottom right here see it throw it to the outside back shoulder she's got it and I'll tell you Fred in this building that's a tough catch because of that angle the lights are brutal in this building so the fumble carry on Johnson becomes a touchdown in Georgia goes for two [Applause] Charlie Warner the whole backfield four receivers down here Brown and he's got it - Godwin again for two - back pains to the outside remember Carlton Davis their best partner is not in the [Applause] it all started with carrion Johnson Lorenzo Carter forcing this fumble that was recovered by Roe Kwan Smith and in 39 yards and four plays later the freshman Jake from the Terry Godwin who made a sensational catch in the Notre Dame game he made one there that was the touchdown going the other direction on the other side of the field the two-point conversion and the largest crowd ever to see a football game at mercedes-benz Stadium Siena Tandy and it's 21 to 7 Georgia with 13 and change remaining [Applause] like a chips kick will not be returned and rbirtle start at the 25-yard line and now they're a two-touchdown hole now it's up to Jared's tenement company and it's paying monkeys the middle again no carry on Johnson out there right now you know when you went through that recap of Brad I noticed that carrion shrimp as he was going through the flight and that's why the ball kind of came off his body and then for him unluckily he gets swatted and a turnover there guy that was the number one rushers far as yards per carry per game I should say not today though not 100% obviously Kenward possible that comes in motion sets up in the backfield for in front of Eli stove does remember one last game it looked like Georgia was frustrated now it looks like Auburn is getting frustrated the last seven possessions of the game before this one for punts two fumbles and one blocked field goal since their opening touchdown at seven possessions is the eighth since the opening drive forty percent on that third down conversions today this one's big third and six are they coming down you're going to get the linebackers coming right inside here they come up the middle gonna force spit him up in the pocket and he throws incomplete intended for Craig Myers and there's no way Mel Tucker and Kirby Smart are going to change up now that inside blitz has given up earned problems it's given Jared stead of problems when he moves up into the pocket you can see Carrie Anne Johnson does a good job with this block but an inaccurate throw from Jared they have no choice but to plot here or just sort of got the safe out here in four thousand six Marshalls punt hardman try to clear everybody out of the way it's gonna go out of bounds around a 39 yard line I think Nick Chubb we talked about it the previous possession he just went from three to two and fast Darren McFadden and now Herschel's the only guy in front that sensation couldn't happen to a better guy you're right small-time Georgia best friends with the big city guys only Michelle their roommates and Georgia after only 46 yards in the first meeting grinding it out or trying to burn and I did that game when he hurt that knee it was like watching them I felt so bad but to see him play like he has now one of the great stories swept with Fromme in the backfield carry the Andre Swift that he's fast and he's maybe gone touchdown [Applause] [Music] 64 yards for the freshmen for the touchdown - by the wind makes another big block on this play he's not caught a pass in the game but he has contributed big time and as we said you lose carry-on not much else Sonia Michelle goes down you got another guy [Applause] extra point is good you know the second fastest guy on the field on that play Kirby smart if you saw the play breakouts here's the black fight winds right here that's what broken wimps blacks but at the top of the screen watch Kirby he's out of the screen we're just here cuffs Kirby's gonna come back in the picture he was all SEC in 1998 [Applause] there goes DeAndre Swift 75 yards in just three plays in the freshman has given the dogs a three touchdown lead for the SEC Championship the adres Swift the freshman out of Philadelphia has just put Georgia in the driver's seat with ten and a half to go here in Atlanta he'll be one of the featured backs next year won't he [Applause] Blankenship's got it teed up in front of a record crowd 76530 for if you're Georgia fan up to be about 120,000 that say they were here but this lead holds up his juste is that wood almost made the crowd [Applause] i incomplete sure it's didymus one of his last 10 passes sexy was hit on the back of his head by Aaron Davis just before the black vehicle since dead Jared Davis is one for his last 10 passes for nine yards they meet all they can muster from him right now trailing by 21 Stidham another click play fake in the forest at the line scrimmage would have been Balam a.m. a quite sure it brings up third down at 10:00 and pick pick wherever you want could have been Tyler Clark could have been Bellamy all that front floor is looking like the awkward front floor from the first game Italia the defensive lines in this conference when they get rolling it's a different brand of football throw down it's here here comes that blitz for milk Juan Smith up the middle again Stidham has to and incomplete intended for Davis and it's broken up by Tyreke McGee fourth down they have no choice but to punt as too deep in their own territory not one deep ball [Applause] the offensive line with all those seniors that have basically manhandled the SEC the second a cap for the season have not been able to do it today Terry Godwin will trot out on the field awaiting the kick for maiden Marshall [Applause] [Music] calls for the fair catch immediately just wants to make the clean catch to not try anything fancy and Georgia takes over at the 28 yard line the Georgia with a football back at the 41 [Applause] down pick up of 12 [Applause] that bevy of facts they have air in one of them along with Swift chub Michele Holyfield all those guys and I remember after the game when Gus Malzahn said that and I said it was the most best coaching move Kirby smarts career at Georgia so far when he just did not overreact didn't get mad at Gus he just looked at his team and said yeah they did and we have to look forward not backward and he got his team ready to play this football game Swift give some ground to try to gain some out there and maybe got two yards as we check in with Ali a week ago in this old Georgia team was together on their bus after the Georgia Tech game watching the end of the Iron Bowl and they told me they were so fired up when they saw that Auburn won because they had such a salty taste in their mouth and that is when the preparation began these guys have known from day one we have to get revenge on Auburn so coach smart actually put together a freebie tape it was all of the plays that they gave away against Auburn he said don't get me wrong Auburn earned a lot of their success but we also shot ourselves in the foot we can clean up those freebies we'll be good to go today and so far just one turnover I know they had some of the penalties that they were those aggressive penalty so he was okay with it and you've just got the Andre stripped you might end up with more rushing yards than something Michelle or Nick jump going for another first down Andres got 83 yards on six carries including a 64-yard touchdown that was a first that was a fast injury recovery I had him going six weeks I'm glad you're not my goddamn I said maybe gonna get an x-ray and MRI [Applause] bad about throwing that out too but let me just say this I don't think the committee should take this game into effect at all I think game one to the last game Alabama has been the most consistent team I think you can make the argument that top to bottom they had not had any bad games they're one of the four best teams that's high that's the way I look well you and I saw it we saw the domination of Georgia at Alabama Alabama was number one until the college football rankings came out then Georgia took it and then both of them had to go to Jordan air stadium which is not mercedes-benz dating actually and so wait Auburn in those two games could have beat anyone in the country losing games here's a talk sweep supply want to stay in bounds that part I still say this it'll still be a tough decision leaving no Big Ten team in the championship and taking two from the SEC but listen the committee set the precedent last year when they just basically said Ohio State was better than Penn State they have to live with that decision and precedent they set last year it's all upside there's a give did Holyfield and he spins his way inside the 20 down around the 18 yard line let's take a look at our GMC game-changer the defense of Georgia's been spectacular today Derick stood on that strip sack by Bellamy took away a field goal then Georgia blocked one yard field goal and then carry on Johnson coughed up the football work Juan Smith picked that led to a Georgia touchdown and thus we have the score we have Georgia gave up a lot of yards three weeks ago and only half of that today season high against this veteran member dominating front for defense most of the eyeball experts were saying that all burns defense was too good yeah that's the trouble with that eyeball test I'm telling you you don't really know what to do sometimes I will say this thinking out loud watching from finish off this Drive here and Georgia win this SEC Championship and Fromm's gonna throw in and out of the hands of whims he hasn't had a catch that I think because he blacked so well they were given some sugar to receive it right I think so what really stands out to me in this game as we see that last pass trying to get Wims a little stat line instead of just blacks is back-to-back years now we have true freshman quarterbacks winning the SEC Championship jihwan hurts enough Jake Fromm even though Georgia didn't score Gary on that last drive remember they took it over with 824 left and there was a penalty on the punt that gave him the automatic first down so they chewed six minutes basically off the clock didn't need any more points actually [Applause] 2008 was the last team from the SEC East to win the championship was the Florida Gators and as gary said earlier last time Georgia was able to do it was 2005 but think about it Georgia is going to get in the college football playoff and the last time they had a chance to get into something to win a national championship they lost the sugar ball to Penn State when they were number one you know and ii thought you know what the key is the 2005 kirby was the running back coach at georgia well he's back as the big man now here's a throwback screen to Slayton it's Collard over there by Baker remember how the game started Georgia challenged those quick screens to the outside without a healthy carry on Johnson and no quick screens to the outside this offense was neutralized [Music] 1:42 remaining [Applause] a Stidham throws short completes and Miller's got a first down he's run out of bounds with a minute and a half to go [Music] well how about two quarterbacks though one that was playing scout team for a high school just to keep his arm warmed up a year ago and the other one was playing high school here in Georgia very good and both of them meet in the championship game and their first time in a setting this big you know when we we started off the program with the questions about Carrie Anne Johnson and you know we said he's going to try it he'll play unless his arm falls off he'll stay out there that's been the case but obviously and I want to getting away from Georgia defense obviously they played a great game but you know let's tip your head to Auburn Ava had a great second half of the year mainly behind that guy who you said and you know he might be be proven right right now the most valuable player in the in the SEC that's what I think even if he hadn't played today that's what I thought he meant to this team and these stats today should hope by this team without him basically or a half of carry on Johnson made even more through that statement to be correct from behind incomplete so now Whoville Georgia matchup in that playoff matchup to remember that defense will show up they available to run the ball I don't think Jake from is going to get stage fright no I think so not that he ever had it but he certainly won't have it now with those numbers in the day that he is that you know you're going to get healthy in this time frame you're gonna have Chubb and Michelle as healthy as they were maybe all year for that game it's a solidly built team it'll take a special team to beat him Sony Michele we'll have to wait and see about his injury of months to heal down at the 30-yard line deandre walker with the exclamation point on the auburn quarterback George's emitted away from their 12th win of the season it's only the third time in their history that would happen one of Mark Rick's teams that won a Sugar Bowl went 12 and one Vince Dooley's undefeated national champions with Herschel Walker won 12 and lost none and Georgia is going to be 12 and one with the playoff looming third down and give me some help for Jared Stidham [Applause] and it's for time Jonathan let brother bringing the heat that time just kind of running through the top teams if Clemson wins tonight the next time we see Georgia they'll be playing Oklahoma Oklahoma would be number two Georgia will be number three either Wisconsin Ohio State or Alabama will be in that fourth spot that's it we're down to just those teams Miami obviously Zenit still but if Wisconsin wins he pretty much got the matchups what a difference 21 days makes beer Georgia fan Stidham last chance and it's incomplete that kind of summed it up right there yes it did the headset can come off the SEC championship visors can go on pretty soon as they have some made-up [Music] and he's still working the sideline I think he was working information he got that was wrong that looks like somebody in the infamous Sports Information Department was telling him something that you know maybe somebody's a yard away from a record or something he said why are you telling me that now he just got a bath derby smart in his second year has taken Georgia to the SEC Championship and they do it basically on their home turf here in Georgia [Applause] there you go there's the headline tomorrow as I said this SEC conference is tough on coaches especially when a guy like Kirby smart walks in and takes the championship of year to everybody else goes what'd you do that a freshman quarterback a great running attack a tough defense and the biggest win for Georgia in decades and now what will the future hold for that guy well we see Gus Malzahn continuing to coach Auburn Auburn or will he be at Arkansas we know one thing Kirby smarts not going anywhere [Applause] and his resilient Georgia Bulldogs a unanimous winner today Ali's with the winning coach coach congratulations on the first NBC TV [Music] composure and physicality that's all it was about composure and physicality and great kids like this thirty-one seniors on this roster with Nick Chubb being
