Trevor Etienne ran for two touchdowns as No. 5 Georgia bounced back from its first regular-season loss in almost four years with a 31-13 victory over Auburn.

Georgia went ahead early and kept Auburn at bay to bounce back from its loss at Alabama. It was the Bulldogs' ninth straight win against the Tigers.

ATHENS — The last time Georgia lost a game, the Bulldogs responded by stripping the hide from the bones of Florida State, 63-3, and the 'Noles still haven’t recovered. So it was fair to expect that Georgia would stomp Auburn into blue-and-orange paste, and going by the scoreboard — Georgia 31, Auburn 13 — that's pretty much what happened.
