Auburn's Wade Fuels Georgia Rivalry Fire

0:00On March 2nd, Auburn Tigers' offensive lineman, Dylan Wade, sparked some college football chatter at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. While expressing strong dislike for the Alabama Crimson Tide, he admitted he could tolerate the Georgia Bulldogs. That offhand remarked quickly fuel talk about the Deep South's oldest rivalry. Auburn has not beaten Georgia on the field since the 2017 season. The Bulldogs have dominated the match-up lately, treating it as one of their top games each year. Georgia fans and analysts jumped on Wade's words, seeing them as proof, Auburn lacks the intense drive needed to compete in this historic series. They argue Georgia players despise the Tigers and always play with full focus. Auburn has faced broader struggles in big rivalry games, including no Iron Bull win over Alabama since 2019 and back-to-back losses to Ole.
