ATHENS, Ga. -- Rodrigo Blankenship kicked two fourth-quarter field goals and Georgias defense shut down No. 8 Auburn in the second half to beat the Tigers 13-7 on Saturday.The loss ends Auburns Southeastern Conference championship hopes and knocks the Tigers out of consideration for a spot in the playoff.Auburn (7-3, 5-2 SEC, No. 9 CFP) had been in control of its hopes to win the SECs Western Division, with one conference game remaining at No. 1 Alabama. Instead, Alabama clinched the division with Auburns loss.The Tigers couldnt overcome the loss of star running back Kamryn Pettway, the nations No. 4 rusher who hurt his left leg on a long run in last weeks win over Vanderbilt. Pettway was with the team but not in uniform.Auburn was held to 32 yards with no first downs in the second half, and 164 yards overall.The offense didnt get it done today. Its a simple as that, said Auburn coach Gus Malzahn, who said he stuck with struggling quarterback Sean White because Sean is our guy.Malzahn said White, returning from an undisclosed injury, didnt throw in practice for the second straight week.White couldnt find a passing game to complement Johnsons running. White completed only 6 of 20 passes for 27 yards with an interception.Georgia (6-4, 4-4) earned its biggest win under first-year coach Kirby Smart.Nick Chubb had 23 carries for 101 yards and Jacob Eason completed 20 of 31 passes for 208 yards without an interception.After Blankenships 21-yard field goal with 2:25 remaining, Auburn was stopped on four downs, triggering a celebration in the stands and on Georgias sideline.Kerryon Johnson ran for 99 yards, including a 3-yard touchdown in the first quarter, as the fill-in starter for Johnson.Blankenship, the Georgia walk-on kicker who wears black-rimmed glasses under his helmet, barely cleared the cross bar on his 45-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter for a 10-7 lead. Blankenship was short on a 49-yard attempt about three minutes later.Auburn had only 25 yards passing in the first half and opened the second half with three straight passing plays -- two incompletions and a third-down pass intercepted by Maurice Smith and returned 34 yards for a tying touchdown.Smith transferred to Georgia from Alabama, Auburns top rival.This makes it definitely worthwhile, Smith said. Its a blessing. For me to be part of this team and be able to help the team, I just love it.Auburn strong safety Tray Matthews, who began his career at Georgia before he was dismissed from the team in 2014, delivered the key defensive play of the first half. Matthews picked off a pass from receiver Terry Godwin, who took the snap in the wildcat formation, in the end zone for his first interception of the season.Auburn took advantage of the turnover with an 80-play touchdown drive capped by Johnsons 3-yard scoring run.THE TAKEAWAYAuburn: The Tigers likely will be headed for a sharp drop in the Top 25. The inability to compensate for Pettways injury revealed Auburns lack of offensive balance and inability to retain its spot as a championship or playoff contender.UP NEXTAuburn: The Tigers will play their final home game against Alabama A&M next Saturday as they hope to gain momentum for their Nov. 26 game at Alabama.Georgia: Georgia hosts Louisiana Lafayette next Saturday before closing its season with another home game against in-state rival Georgia Tech on Nov. 26.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-Top25 Sami Khedira Jersey .

TAMPA, Fla. -- On the heels of a four-game losing streak, the Tampa Bay Lightning reverted back to a defense-first mentality.That could spell bad news for the Vancouver Canucks, the third-lowest scoring team in the NHL, averaging 2.19 goals per game.During Tampa Bays four-game losing streak, the longest since the end of the 2013 lockout season, the Lightning allowed four or more goals in each game, the first time that has happened since head coach Jon Cooper took over at the end of the 2013 season.Since then, the Lightning have been among the stingiest teams in the league, finishing fifth in goals against last season. So in the two games since that losing streak, the defensive mentality has returned and the Lightning allowed a total of two goals while picking up three points in back-to-backs against Washington and at Carolina.We scored one goal in two games and remarkably we come out of it with three out of four points, Cooper said. So it just goes to show you that defense helps you win games and helps you get points.Though the defensive mindset is being reemphasized, facing one of the lowest scoring teams in the league is no reason to take anything for granted. Though Vancouver has been shutout four times this season and held to two-or-fewer goals 16 times in 26 games, any lapse on Tampa Bays part could help the Canucks erupt.In the NHL, teams that may struggle to score goals can put up six or seven, Lightning alternate captain Ryan Callahan said. So you cant look at numbers or say that they are struggling offensively. The big thing for us is the way we play defensively and we can hopefully continue that trend for them.dddddddddddd But its always about our game and what we are doing, not so much the other team so we dont really look at those stats too much.Callahan, who has missed four games with a lower-body injury is expected to return to the Lightning lineup against Vancouver, along with defenseman Jason Garrison, who missed three games with a lower-body injury. Jonathan Drouin, a scratch on Sunday in Carolina with an undisclosed injury, participated in practice but is less certain of a return to the lineup.The Canucks, meanwhile, will be without defenseman Philip Larsen for an unknown amount of time after he was knocked unconscious on Tuesday in New Jersey following a hard hit from Taylor Hall. Larsen was cleared by doctors on Wednesday to return to Vancouver for further evaluation.With Larsen out of the lineup, Kevin Biega will have an opportunity to get in the lineup after he has been a scratch in all but one game this season.At the end of the day its an opportunity that presented itself and I have to go out and just play, Biega said. Good things happen when you just go out and play and not think too much about it.No matter who is in the lineup for Vancouver, Daniel Sedin knows the Canucks have to be ready for a Lightning team hungry to get back to their winning ways.We know they are going to be fast and play with a lot of skill and try to push toward the net, he said. We have to be ready to match their effort. That have a lot of talent on that team and can put a lot of pressure on.
