Upon Further Review - Georgia Game

 

  • During the first five games of the season, Auburn's defense allowed an average of 152.4 yards on 4.3 yards per play during the first half. During the last five games, Auburn has surrendered 218.8 yards on 6.1 yards per play during the first half.

 

  • Auburn has held the opponent to 2-yards or less on 51.5 percent of the snaps defended. They held Georgia to only 34.8 percent Saturday night.

 

  • The Auburn offense averaged 6.5 yards per play during their first 14 first down snaps and only 4.1 yards during their next 14 first down snaps.

 

  • Last season Auburn averaged 29.6 yards per impact play, the best average by an Auburn offense from 1992-2018. This season the Tigers average 24.1 yards per impact play, the second-worst average during the same period.

 

  • With 56 receptions on the season, Ryan Davis has the opportunity to become the first Auburn Tiger to have back-to-back 60-reception seasons. He is already Auburn's all-time leading receiver, breaking the record against the Bulldogs.

 

  • Ryan Davis has caught 165 passes for 8.9 yards per reception and six touchdowns. Brent Fullwood had 166 rush attempts during the 1986 regular season for 8.4 yards per rush and ten touchdowns. Imagine what Ryan Davis could have accomplished if the majority of his receptions required him to make one person miss rather than 3-4.

 

  • Auburn scored a 12 of 39 (30.8%) on their statistical report card against Georgia. It was the lowest "team" production this season. It marked the 5th time from 2009-2018, Auburn had a team grade below 31 percent against the Georgia Bulldogs.

 

  • Auburn's defense has allowed 3.7 yards per rush during the second half, but the Georgia Bulldogs averaged 7.7 yards. The 77-yard touchdown run was a back-breaker for the Auburn defense and a statistical explosion.

 

  • The secondary accounted for nearly 42 percent of the tackles against UGA, way too high against a team that threw the football only 33.3 percent of the time.

 

  • During the first five games of the season, the Auburn defense forced a "3 & out" on 49 percent of the possessions defended. During the last five games, it has dropped to just 19 percent.

 

  • Last season through ten games, Auburn passed the ball 32 percent of the time during the second-half. This season through ten games, it has increased to 55 percent.

 

  • JaTarvious Whitlow needs an average of 111-yards rushing during his last three games of the season to reach the 1000-yard mark. He is currently averaging 66.8 yards per game. He does have three games this season with at least 14 carries, averaging 132 yards per game.

 

  • Last night marked the 37th time since 1985, Auburn's leading passer was held to under 200-yards passing, and leading rusher was held to under 50-yards rushing during the same game. Auburn is now 8-28-1, when it occurred and 1-7 under Gus Malzahn's control of the Auburn offense.

 

  • Auburn is now 6-50 from 1961-2018 when the opponent out-rushes the Tigers by 150-yards. The average score during those 56 games is 31-12 in favor of the opponent. Under Gus Malzahn, Auburn is 6-17 when the opponent has more rushing yardage and 1-8 when the opponent out-rushes Auburn by more than 100-yards.

 

  • Auburn is now 69-5 during their last 286 games when the Tigers do not lose the tackle for loss battle, first-down battle and turnover battle during the same game. Two of the five losses have now come against Georgia. Under Gus Malzahn, Auburn is 20-2 when they do not lose the trifecta.
