Auburn got some good news regarding injury issues as it began preparations for Saturdays outing at Georgia.Coach Gus Malzahn announced that sophomore quarterback Sean White, who came on in the second half last week after not starting against Vanderbilt, will start against the Bulldogs. Running back Kamryn Pettway, who looked to have pulled a muscle late in the 23-16 win over the Commodores, may be cleared to play when the Tigers (7-2, 5-1), ranked No. 9 in the College Football Playoff rankings, and the unranked Bulldogs (5-4, 3-4) mix it up starting at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Sanford Stadium.In addition wide receiver Tony Stevens and linebacker Tre Williams, are on track to play after sitting out the game against Vanderbilt.Starting running back Kerryon Johnson played last week but is only 80 percent from the ankle injury that sidelined him the previous game.Were a pretty beat-up team, Malzahn said.But a hot one as well.The Tigers have won six in a row and are on pace to set up what could be a classic Iron Bowl matchup against undefeated Alabama to close out the regular season.If the Tigers get the road win over the Bulldogs, they could play their way into the SEC Championship Game by beating Bama no matter what the Tide does this week against Mississippi State. Both the Tigers and Tide have non-conference affairs next week with Auburn hosting Alabama A&M and Alabama hosting Chattanooga.Georgia is on the fringe of the SEC East, mathematically still in contention but needing not only a win over Auburn but several other breaks to get a share of first place in the division.The Bulldogs also are looking for a so-called signature win in coach Kirby Smarts first season, and Auburn certainly presents an opportunity for that.The series between the Bulldogs and Tigers is billed as the Deep Souths oldest rivalry with the two teams meeting for the 120th time since they first squared off in Atlanta in 1892. The series was interrupted in 1917 and 18 for World War I and again in 1943 for WW II.Its one of best, I mean, its one of greatest rivalries in college football, when you talk about Georgia and Auburn, Smart said. I think historically its been very balanced. I mean, theres some similarities in the two stadiums, similarities in the programs.For a stretch in the 1980s, the game featured a matchup featuring two coaches facing their alma mater. Then-Georgia coach Vince Dooley is an Auburn grad. Then-Auburn coach Pat Dye is a Georgia man.I mean, you look at coach Dooley, coach Dye, where they came from, theres a tie that bonds, Smart said. Its an interesting rivalry. Its always heated. It never ends because it goes on recruiting trail. Both schools recruit the same area primarily. I mean, its an interesting deal. And they got a great program and I certainly think we do too.So it makes for great college football.Smarts team is coming off a heart-stopping, 27-24 win over Kentucky in a game decided on a field goal as time ran out. That stopped a two-game skid for the Bulldogs, who had dropped their previous two games to Vanderbilt and Florida.Freshman quarterback Jacob Eason completed 17 of 31 passes for 245 yards with a touchdown against Kentucky and junior running back Sony Michel had 127 yards on 19 rushes with a touchdown.Auburn was unexpectedly pushed nearly to the brink in getting by Vandy. White, who hadnt taken a snap in practice the week before, came off the bench to complete 10 of 13 passes for 106 yards and a touchdown to rally the Tigers from a 13-10 halftime deficit.Cornerback Joshua Holsey then came up with a key interception with 36 seconds left deep in his own territory to secure the win.We faced probably about as much adversity as we faced in a win in a long time, Malzahn said. We had some injuries and some guys werent able to play. We had one of our top defensive guys kicked out of the game early.We had some guys that really stepped up and did a super job. In every year that weve won a lot of games there has been a game like this where our guys found a way to win. Alex Len Jersey .R.

BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil -- Brazil players have made it clear they will not fear Argentinas Lionel Messi when the two sides meet for their high-profile World Cup qualifier on Thursday.Messis return from injury prompted an exchange between the two sides on Tuesday after Argentina striker Lucas Pratto, who plays for Brazilian club Atletico Mineiro, said the hosts were frightened of the five-time world player of the year.They know that Leo is very tough. They are a little scared, Pratto told Argentine newspaper Ole. Or maybe more than a little.His claim was flatly denied by Brazil captain Dani Alves, one of the Argentina stars closest friends and a former teammate at Barcelona.There is no such thing as being scared in football. There is respect for Messi and for Argentina. And they feel the same about our players, our team, the right back said after Tuesdays training session at the Mineirao stadium in Belo Horizonte.Winger Douglas Costa also kept a sense of perspective, saying: (Brazil) has to do what it has been doing -- regardless of Argentina.However, Brazil defender Marquinhos added a note of caution about Messi, saying: We have to be perfect. With the tiniest mistake, he can dribble, he can score.Messi has missed Argentinas last three qualifying matches with an injured left knee, and the results showed with draws against Peru and Venezuela, and a 1-0 loss against Paraguay.He scored in a 1-0 victory over Uruguay in September in the only match hes played under Argentina coach Edgardo Bauza.Thursdays game takes place in the Mineirao sstadium where Brazil was humiliated two years ago in a 7-1 loss to Germany in the World Cup semifinals.ddddddddddddll 62,000 seats are expected to be taken as the hosts focus on containing Messi, rather than the ghosts of the 2014 World Cup debacle.He (Messi) is extremely intelligent and has a great finishing skill, so we have to do double marking on him whenever we can, Brazil midfielder Renato Augusto said. We have to close the gaps for all Argentina players, and we have to remove Messis passing angle whenever he has the ball.Alves said Brazil will have a tough time stopping near perfect Messi.His greatness comes from the fact he doesnt believe he is that great, it is what makes him different from the rest, the defender said.Alves added that he will wear the number 4 shirt in the game as a tribute to Brazil great Carlos Alberto Torres, who died in October.Argentina, World Cup runners-up two years ago against Germany, is five points behind group leader Brazil. It needs points on Thursday and next week in a difficult match against Colombia.Brazil leads qualifying with 21 points, followed by Uruguay with 20 and Ecuador and Colombia with 17. Chile and Argentina have 16 points each.The top four teams qualify automatically for the World Cup. The fifth-place team could advance through a playoff.Brazil has won four straight matches since coach Tite took over after the five-time World Cup champions fired Dunga. ' ' '
