Cool Stafford vs. Auburn Stat

Granted, it's a team game...but. David Hale has the interesting stat of the day. He points out:
Interesting tidbit from my story on Matthew Stafford's success against Auburn in today's Telegraph: Did you know that if Georgia wins this week, Stafford will become the first Georgia QB to beat Auburn in three straight years since Johnny Rauch from 1945-1948.
Overall, the last time Georgia won three in a row vs. the Tigers was '80-'82 on the way to three SEC titles and two national title games. Prior to that, we did it in '66-'68 on the way to two SEC titles, and '50-52 on the way to a big bowl of nothing.

In case you were wondering, our longest all-time winning streak against the Tigers from 1923-1931. Our longest losing streak was six in a row from '53-'58. Proving once again, that the '50s (aside from 1959) were the single darkest hour in Georgia history.
