ATHENS, Ga. -- Rodrigo Blankenship kicked two fourth-quarter field goals and Georgias defense shut down No. 8 Auburn in the second half to beat the Tigers 13-7 on Saturday.The loss ends Auburns Southeastern Conference championship hopes and knocks the Tigers out of consideration for a spot in the playoff.Auburn (7-3, 5-2 SEC, No. 9 CFP) had been in control of its hopes to win the SECs Western Division, with one conference game remaining at No. 1 Alabama. Instead, Alabama clinched the division with Auburns loss.The Tigers couldnt overcome the loss of star running back Kamryn Pettway, the nations No. 4 rusher who hurt his left leg on a long run in last weeks win over Vanderbilt. Pettway was with the team but not in uniform.Auburn was held to 32 yards with no first downs in the second half, and 164 yards overall.The offense didnt get it done today. Its a simple as that, said Auburn coach Gus Malzahn, who said he stuck with struggling quarterback Sean White because Sean is our guy.Malzahn said White, returning from an undisclosed injury, didnt throw in practice for the second straight week.White couldnt find a passing game to complement Johnsons running. White completed only 6 of 20 passes for 27 yards with an interception.Georgia (6-4, 4-4) earned its biggest win under first-year coach Kirby Smart.Nick Chubb had 23 carries for 101 yards and Jacob Eason completed 20 of 31 passes for 208 yards without an interception.After Blankenships 21-yard field goal with 2:25 remaining, Auburn was stopped on four downs, triggering a celebration in the stands and on Georgias sideline.Kerryon Johnson ran for 99 yards, including a 3-yard touchdown in the first quarter, as the fill-in starter for Johnson.Blankenship, the Georgia walk-on kicker who wears black-rimmed glasses under his helmet, barely cleared the cross bar on his 45-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter for a 10-7 lead. Blankenship was short on a 49-yard attempt about three minutes later.Auburn had only 25 yards passing in the first half and opened the second half with three straight passing plays -- two incompletions and a third-down pass intercepted by Maurice Smith and returned 34 yards for a tying touchdown.Smith transferred to Georgia from Alabama, Auburns top rival.This makes it definitely worthwhile, Smith said. Its a blessing. For me to be part of this team and be able to help the team, I just love it.Auburn strong safety Tray Matthews, who began his career at Georgia before he was dismissed from the team in 2014, delivered the key defensive play of the first half. Matthews picked off a pass from receiver Terry Godwin, who took the snap in the wildcat formation, in the end zone for his first interception of the season.Auburn took advantage of the turnover with an 80-play touchdown drive capped by Johnsons 3-yard scoring run.THE TAKEAWAYAuburn: The Tigers likely will be headed for a sharp drop in the Top 25.
