  "account": "Georgia coach Kirby Smart describes Auburn football with one word: physical. The No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs are set to face Auburn in the Oldest Rivalry game of college football, a matchup that holds immense significance for both programs. Coach Smart, speaking about Auburn, emphasized the Tigers' physicality and highlighted the respect he has for the program. Auburn, led by head coach Alex Golesh, has shown a strong physical style in their offense and defense, a strategy that has proven effective over the years. The Georgia Bulldogs have historically favored Auburn in head-to-head matchups, with nine wins in the last ten meetings. However, Smart acknowledges Auburn's recent fresh legs and points out that Auburn's defense, under defensive coordinator DJ Durkin, has also shown speed and athleticism. Despite the physical nature of the matchup, Smart remains confident in Georgia's ability to handle the challenge on Saturday, Oct. 17 at 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.",
