Georgia running backs Nick Chubb and Sony Michel have been extremely difficult to bring down this year, accounting for 1,557 yards and 18 rushing touchdowns. Both have an shot at cracking the 1,000-yard rush mark this season. Auburn's rush defense, which ranks 24th nationally by giving up 127 yards per game on the ground, will have a tough test.

Still, Auburn's Jarrett Stidham (1,996 yards, 66.8 completion percentage, 11 touchdowns) has finally taken command of the Tigers offense. If the Tigers win, he'll need to outperform Georgia freshman playcaller Jake Fromm (1,459 yards, 66.3 completion percentage, 15 touchdowns).

Follow along live as Sporting News provides updates (all times Eastern):

Second quarter:

4:46 p.m.: Georgia gives Auburn a taste of its own medicine on third down, with D'Andre Walker sacking Jarrett Stidham for a loss of nine yards. Bulldogs take over.

4:45 p.m.: Auburn in complete control of this game right now. Jarrett Stidham and Co. can put the Bulldogs in the hole early with a touchdown drive here.

4:43 p.m.: Georgia went 70 yards on its game-opening touchdown drive. In the three possessions since, the Bulldogs have gained a combined zero yards.

4:41 p.m.: Jake Fromm sacked for the second time today on third down. Derrick Brown and Marlon Davidson get the sack, and Georgia has it fourth-and-20 at its own 19.

4:30 p.m.: Oh, Georgia's going to wish they had that back. Jake Fromm slightly overthrows Riley Ridley for a wide-open touchdown, but they can't connect. Third-and-10 upcoming.

4:39 p.m.: Mecole Hardman takes it out to the 29.

4:39 p.m.: Kerryon Johnson, meanwhile, making a case for best player in this game. He has 69 rushing yards on 10 carries. But Daniel Carlson might have him beat if he keeps kicking field goals.

4:36 p.m.: Georgia won this game last season without an offensive touchdown. Maybe Auburn's trying to one-up them this year?

4:35 p.m.: Jarrett Stidham misses his target on third-and-10. Daniel Carlson knocks his third field goal attempt through from 30 yards out to make it 9-7 Auburn. He's now three for three on the game with kicks of 54, 37 and 30 yards.

4:34 p.m.: Georgia forced to call timeout in that situation on third-and-10 from the 13. Bulldogs only had 10 men on the field, their second personnel issue this game.

4:31 p.m.: Jarrett Stidham hits Chandler Cox for 17 yards to get the ball inside the red zone. No fear from this Auburn offense right now.

4:29 p.m: It just keeps getting worse for Georgia. Kerryon Johnson gets a 8-yard gain, and then Georgia gets called for an unnecessary roughness call to add 15 yards. Auburn is rolling right now.

4:28 p.m.: Auburn using some up-tempo offense to get some big chunk yards. Jarrett Stidham hits Eli Stove for a 19-yard gain, then Kerryon Johnson rushes for a a 14-yard gain to take the ball to the 41-yard line. An illegal substitution gives Auburn the ball first-and-5 at its own 46.

4:26 p.m.: Jake Fromm's first incompletion comes on third down from the Auburn 46. The Tigers will take over at its 9-yard line.

4:24 p.m: Full stats from that first quarter:

First quarter: Georgia 7, Auburn 6

4:21 p.m.: That'll do it for the first quarter. Georgia is driving in Auburn territory. Jake Fromm with 56 yards on 3-of-3 passing and Auburn's Kerryon Johnson with 47 rushing yards on six carries (7.8 yards per carry). This has the makings of a good one.

4:20 p.m.: Georgia's Mecole Hardman takes it all the way to the 47-yard line for the Bulldogs. Great starting field position. He's now averaging 33 yards per kick return this season.

4:18 p.m.: Players are breaking all sorts of records in the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry, it seems.

4:16 p.m.: Auburn has it fourth-and-16 from the 20-yard line. But Daniel Carlson is money, and hits the 37-yard field goal. The Tigers have cut into that Georgia lead, making it 7-6. He's now 17 of 23 this season.

4:15 p.m.: Auburn with success rushing the ball: 26 yards on those last three plays. Seventeen of them came from Kerryon Johnson runs. Hes developed into a true No. 1 option.

4:14 p.m.: Auburn will be happy for the free yards, Georgia.

4:12 p.m.: Auburn tries its second trick play of the game with the attempted flea flicker. The receiver wasn't open though, and Georgia got plenty of pressure on Jarrett Stidham. Third-and-1 upcoming.

4:11 p.m.: Kerryon Johnson gets a 5-yard gain on third-and-3 and puts the ball in Georgia territory. Tigers driving.

4:10 p.m.: Auburn tries the fake reverse-pass. Receiver Ryan Davis has a wide-open Jarrett Stidham, but the quarterback can't haul it in. Tigers have it second-and-10.

4:07 p.m.: It's worth noting Nick Chubb has passed Bo Jackson for fourth place among SEC career rushing leaders. With 14 yards so far, he now has 4,305 all-time rushing yards. He now needs 252 yards to pass Kevin Faulk of LSU for third-most all time. Unlikely that he gets that today.

4:06 p.m.: Nope. Jake Fromm is sacked in the pocket, blindsided by Jeff Holland for a loss of nine yards. Holland, by the way, is one of the best pass-rushers in the SEC this season.

4:05 p.m.: Another third-and-long situation. Will Jake Fromm get another clutch third-down play?

4:03 p.m.: Nick Chubb starts off Georgia's second offensive possession with a pair of 6-yard runs.

4:02 p.m.: Auburn will want Darius Slayton back in this one.

3:59 p.m.: Jarrett Stidham gets what basically amounts to a pressure sack on third-and-7 from the Georgia 37. Good thing for Auburn, Daniel Carlson booms a 54-yard field goal to make it 7-3 Georgia. He is an incredible weapon for the Tigers.

3:58 p.m.: Now Auburn wide receiver Darius Slayton wobbling off the field. He's Auburn's second-leading receiver with 401 yards this season.

3:57 p.m.: And now Auburn using the WIldcat! Kerryon Johnson gets 20 yards and the Tigers are now driving in Bulldog territory.

3:56 p.m.: Jarrett Stidham hits Nate Craig-Myers for a 13-yard gain on second down. Tigers are moving fast early. 

3:54 p.m.: Auburn's turn to get some points on the board. Jarrett Stidham faces a 7-0 deficit early.

3:53 p.m.: Hmm. ...

3:51 p.m.: Nick Chubb gets on the board first with a 1-yard Nick Chubb touchdown from out of the Wildcat. Jake Fromm went 3 for 3 on that eight-play opening drive for 56 yards, and had completions of 28 and 26 yards. Impressive from the freshman.

3:49 p.m.: One play later, Jake Fromm hits Terry Godwin for a 25-yard gain into the Auburn red zone. Bulldogs aren't afraid to air it out early.

3:48 p.m.: Third-and-7 and Georgia's Jake Fromm gets a beatufiul throw to Javon WIms for 27 yards and a first down. Bulldogs driving at the Auburn 39.

3:47 p.m.: First carry, Nick Chubb is gobbled up after a 1-yard gain. Something tells me rushing yards will be hard to come by in the first quarter.

3:46 p.m.: Here we go! Georgia takes over on offense to start the game.

Pregame:

3:45 p.m.: Jordan-Hare giving Georgia a nice, warm welcome:

3:20 p.m.: Who has the biggest game?

3:15 p.m.: Auburn's starting lineup against Georgia:

3:10 p.m.: Oh, this should be fun.
