The Tigers will be looking for some old mojo when they visit their home away from home, Sanford Stadium, where Auburn has won 10 of its last 12 trips to Athens. No. 18 Auburn, 7-3 overall and 4-2 in the Southeastern Conference, has an eye on a Bowl Championship Series post-season game. Georgia, 7-2 overall and in the hunt for the SEC East title with a 4-2 conference mark, has the league title game on its mind.
Expected to be close, winning the kicking game could be pivotal for either Georgia or Auburn. Tiger’s freshman place kicker Wes Byrum has made 13 field goals in 17 attempts, including game winners from 43 yards on the final play at No. 4 Florida Sept. 29 and 20 yards with 21 seconds at Arkansas Oct. 13. Ryan Shoemaker leads the SEC and ranks 10th nationally in punting, averaging 44.6 yards per punt, while true freshman Patrick Tatum has averaged 43.4 yards per punt with nine of his 16 punts downed inside the 20-yard line
For his career, Georgia’s Brandon Coutu is 48-for-61 in FGs including 5-for-11 from 50+ yards. Also, he is a perfect 99-for-99 in PATs (third in the nation for active kickers). This season, Coutu is 13-18 in FG attempts (two of those attempts were from more than 50 yards). Mikey Henderson ranks 15th nationally in punt returns (13.5).
