    What the tape says

    • Steal a possession in the first 20 minutes or the crowd buries you.
    • Don't get run out. Pride and recruiting live in the first half of this one.
    • Atkins as the identity. One wrecked drive is the whole ask.
    • Special teams. A hidden-yardage play is how dogs stay in Sanford.

    History

    • Deep South's Oldest Rivalry at Sanford. No. 2 Georgia (Auburn Athletics, Oct. 3).
    • Kirby Smart's front is still the sport's best.
