Defense looking to end sluggish starts

The Auburn Tigers have done everything they can to put last week's loss behind them and prepare for a tough matchup against Georgia, head coach Gus Malzahn said in Tuesday's press conference.

Artis-Payne's 969 yards through eight games are good for first in the SEC and 17th in the country.
