Georgia’s Jones has two sacks

Georgia outside linebacker Jarvis Jones made four tackles and had two of Georgia’s four sacks in Saturday night’s 38-0 win over Auburn. Jones came in with 8.5 sacks and averaging 1.21 per game – fifth best in the nation.

Georgia also held Auburn to 238 yards of total offense. It was the first time the Tigers have been shutout since losing 36-0 to Alabama in 2008.
