In the 114th renewal of the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry, Auburn defeated Georgia 49–31. The Bulldogs led 21–7 at the end of the first quarter thanks to three touchdown passes by redshirt freshman quarterback Aaron Murray, but Auburn fought back to tie the game at 21–21 on an 18-yard touchdown pass from Cam Newton to tight end Phillip Lutzenkirchen with 51 seconds remaining in the first half.

The Tigers began the third quarter by recovering an onsides kick. Senior kicker Wes Byrum recovered his own kick at the Auburn 41-yard line. Nine plays later, Onterrio McCalebb rushed two yards for a touchdown, and Auburn went ahead 28–21. It was the first time Auburn had led in the game since the Bulldogs tied the game near the midway point of the first quarter. Auburn’s lead was short-lived, as the Bulldogs tied the game at 28–28 six plays later on seven-yard run by Washaun Ealey.

The Tigers went ahead for good on the ensuing drive. The Tigers began at their own 19-yard line, and on the first play from scrimmage, McCalebb rushed for 48 yards to the Georgia 33-yard line. Four successive runs by freshman tailback Michael Dyer and a one-yard run by Newton gave the Tigers a first and goal opportunity at the Bulldogs 4-yard line. McCalebb scored his third touchdown of the day, and the Tigers went ahead 35–31. The Bulldogs finished their scoring for the day on 28-yard field goal on the final play of the third quarter, but the Tigers added two more touchdowns in the fourth quarter.

As it had been throughout much of the season, the Auburn offense was led by quarterback Cam Newton. He passed for 148 yards and rushed for 151 yards. The Tigers’ victory ended a four-game losing streak against the Bulldogs.
