Get up! It's Gameday, as the Georgia Bulldogs look to make it three in a row against Gus Malzahn’s Auburn Tigers.

Get up! It's Gameday, as the Georgia Bulldogs look to make it three in a row against Auburn as they head to the Plains to take on the Tigers. The Dawgs look to remain in title contention with a statement  road victory over Gus Malzahn's 12th ranked Tigers. 

Kirby Smart and company made the flight to Auburn yesterday afternoon - electing to forego the 3 and a half hour bus trip - taking a bird instead.  

Here's everything you need to know about today's matchup: 

Weather

Despite a rather cold and damp week in both Alabama and Georgia, the rain is set to move out. Making way for a sunny, 60-degree day on the Plains. You can't ask for a much better fall day to play football. 

Magic Numer: 13-0

Gus Malzahn is 13-0 coming off a bye week as a head coach, something that should frighten Georgia fans a bit. The offensive wizard has the ability to decipher a defense's weakness and find ways to exploit them. The idea of playing a team with a bye week is nothing new for Georgia. Six of the last seven games, dating back to Notre Dame, have come against teams fresh off their by week.

How to Watch/Listen

Set for a 3:30 PM EST kickoff on CBS with Gary Danielson and Brad Nessler on the call. As always you can listen to the game on the Georgia Bulldog Radio Network. 

Keys to the Matchup

The first defense that's able to prove they can hold up in the run game will win this matchup. I don't foresee a shoot out in Auburn today, but there will be a few explosive plays from the Tigers. And though I believe Georgia gives up their first rushing touchdown on the season, the Bulldogs will win this game. 

Apart from the line of scrimmage playing a pivotal role in this game, Jake Fromm's experience in hostile road environments will pay dividends as well.
