Georgia routs Auburn for spot in SEC title game

AUBURN, Ala. -- Georgia was almost as methodical and businesslike in its postgame celebration as in its dominant, balanced win over Auburn. The Bulldogs are saving a bigger celebration for a bigger game. Aaron Murray passed for 208 yards and three touchdowns, freshman tailbacks Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall each ran for more than 100 yards and No. 5 Georgia overwhelmed Auburn 38-0 on Saturday night, sending the Bulldogs back to the SEC championship game. Georgia (9-1, 7-1 SEC) got the first shutout for either team in the series since its 28-0 win in 1976. The Bulldogs, who have won four straight, appear to be peaking at the end of the regular season. "I think we've been improving as we go and hopefully we can keep it going," coach Mark Richt said.
