  "account": "Athens, Georgia - In an unexpected turn of events, Auburn defeated heavily favored Georgia 27-24 in the Deep South's oldest rivalry, a game that marked the 131st matchup between the two teams. The Dawgs took an early lead, leading 14-0, but Auburn responded with 24 unanswered points. Georgia managed to tie the score late in the fourth quarter, but Auburn clinched the victory with a last-second 34-yard field goal by Alex McPherson. Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton struggled throughout the game, throwing two interceptions. This marks the second consecutive week that the number one team in the AP Top 25 lost to an unranked opponent, following Texas' defeat to Oklahoma the previous Saturday. The Auburn-Georgia series, known as the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry, began in 1892 and will be the 131st game in the series.",
