So many good things about Georgia's 31-24 rise-from-the-dead win over Auburn.
--In a season going sour, the Bulldogs could have cried "uncle" after falling behind 14-0. That they rallied speaks well for this team.
--Willie Martinez' battered defense allowed a buck-45 in yards and two touchdowns during the first quarter, then buckled down to permit only 208 and a field goal the rest of the way.
--Atrocious all year with penalties and turnover difference, the Dawgs had only 29 yards marched off against them, and went interception- and fumble-free. They managed two picks of Auburn.
--Running back Washaun Ealey averaged more than five yards per tote and colleague Caleb King burst for two TDs.
--Safety Baccari Rambo, knocked cold from a collision and sending a chill through the crowd when he was down for 10 minutes, was diagnosed with only a concussion. But he has not even been ruled out for the season.
The bad? Well, masterful receiver A.J. Green reinjured his shoulder early and is out for Saturday's game with Kentucky. But the Dawgs showed they can make hay with him in a sling on the sideline.
Except for Rambo and Green, it'll be a feel-good week in Athens.
