Auburn football needs its biggest defensive playmakers to deliver against No. 1 Georgia, and two Tigers could be the difference between another disappointing rivalry loss and a massive upset in Athens. Alex Golesh and Auburn enter Saturday's matchup as three-touchdown underdogs, but if the Tigers have any chance of shocking the Georgia Bulldogs, Eric Winters and Jared Smith must play their best football of the season. Winters delivered an outstanding performance against Baylor earlier this year, showing the potential to become one of Auburn's most important defensive players. But can he replicate that performance against Georgia? With the Bulldogs featuring talented running backs and tight ends, Auburn needs Winters to make plays in coverage, defend the run and elevate the entire secondary. We discuss how his performance could impact Sylvester Smith-Reed, Champ Anthony, Caleb Harris, Rayshawn Pleasant and the rest of Auburn's defensive backs. Then there's Jared Smith. Auburn entered the season expecting Smith to become a difference-maker along its defensive front. After flashing his potential against Baylor, the young pass rusher hasn't consistently delivered the disruptive performances the Tigers need. Now Auburn faces one of its toughest challenges of the season. Can Smith finally break through with multiple sacks and consistent quarterback pressure against Georgia? With Xavier Atkins unavailable, generating pressure from Auburn's defensive front becomes even more important. We break down why Winters and Smith are two of the most important players to watch, what each must accomplish and why Auburn needs its defensive stars to deliver in the biggest moments.
