QUARTERBACKS
Both Joe Cox and Chris Todd have had their ups and downs in their first – and last – full seasons as starters. Todd, though, is currently riding just a bit higher.
Edge: Auburn
RUNNING BACKS
The Bulldogs have had five different players score rushing touchdowns. That’s not the mark of a deep unit, but a sign that Georgia does not have a go-to guy like Ben Tate.
Edge: Auburn
RECEIVERS
As good as Terrell Zachery and Darvin Adams have been, they don’t match the threat A.J. Green poses.
Edge: Georgia
OFFENSIVE LINE
Jeff Grimes said his group has gotten better every game. They weren’t too shabby to begin with.
Edge: Auburn
DEFENSIVE LINE
The Bulldogs are big, especially up the middle, and are limiting opponents to almost 50 yards less on the ground than the Tigers.
Edge: Georgia
LINEBACKERS
Josh Bynes and Craig Stevens got a half off against Furman. That might go down as the most important 30 minutes of their entire season heading down the home stretch.
Edge: Auburn
SECONDARY
Both units have seen better days, but especially the Tigers, who will see Demond Washington playing his first SEC game at safety and are so thin that they might not be able to run the nickel tonight.
Edge: Georgia
SPECIAL TEAMS
Wes Byrum should get his own category because he’ll never win at this rate.
Edge: Georgia
COACHES
Mark Richt certainly has more on the line tonight. A loss puts Georgia in precarious water when it comes to its bowl-eligibility and him one step closer to being on his way out of Athens. Gene Chizik is playing with house money at this point.
Edge: Georgia
OVERALL
Home-field advantage is pretty much the only separator between these evenly-matched teams in a series that has largely favored the visitor.
