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 got straight to work -- Trevor Etienne put the exclamation point on an 11 play, 75-yard touchdown drive on their opening possession to take a 7-0 lead. In the closing seconds of the half, Carson Beck found Dominic Lovett for a 6-yard touchdown pass, and the Bulldogs went into the locker room with a 14-3 lead.

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.
