Beck-to-Bowers combo rallies No. 1 Georgia to 27-20 win over Auburn

AUBURN, Ala. -- , Pushed to the brink on the road, No. 1 Georgia turned matters over to Carson Beck and Brock Bowers . Beck-to-Bowers proved unstoppable in the end, even if the Bulldogs had appeared anything but up to that point. With Georgia's No. 1 ranking and lengthy winning streak on the line, Bowers caught a 40-yard touchdown pass in the final minutes of a 27-20 win over Auburn on Saturday. The Bulldogs (5-0, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) remained perfectly imperfect in their SEC start. Two games, two scares, two wins. Georgia coach Kirby Smart called his Bulldogs “a very resilient team” after escaping successfully from their first road game . That’s kind of a Catch-22 for the two-time defending national champions. “We’re not going to get where we want to go if we don’t get better,” Smart said. “That’s the biggest thing.”.
