There will be no egg laying. This isn't UGA of years gone by where we get all hyped up and after the game wonder how the team could have melted down in epic fashion. Remember those days? So do I. It was a common occurrence under the old coaching staff. I don't ever want to re-live those experiences as I have enough of them to last me a lifetime. There are a lot of things to worry about this week, but us not showing up isn't one of them. This team has proved week in and week out that they have a laser like focus on one goal and Alabama stands in the way of it.
Surprised not to see the play calling of Bobo not called into question on the final Auburn drive in regulation. Why call any type of play where the runner had a chance to go out of bounds. Simply take a knee or run up the middle and force Bama to stop the clock. That type of clock mismanagement is really disappointing. Bama should have Horne the ball back with no time outs and 50 seconds left instead of nearly two minutes.
I can agree with that. But also, that was on Bigsby alone. The play was called because as it turned out, was almost good enough to get the 1st down, or at least closer to one. But Bigsby should of known to get down. RB's are taught that forever. Don't know if it was a lack of focus, or just self-centerness, but either way, that was all him. Considering that bama was selling out to stop the run up the middle, I thought getting the ball outside was a good option. Because if Bigsby picks up the 1st down, everything was mute after that.
GO DAWGS!!!!!!
Uh, it has happened twice with this coaching staff. 2017, 2018 for example. Because what you only consider a better team losing, I also include a team that choked away a win. Because those 2 years, they melted down at the end.
I do agree though, this team sure seems to be more focused, but until it happens, I still worry. Besides, it's still Ala, the only guarantee there is, is that they will be ready.
GO DAWGS!!!!!
I also believe that the SEC really "needs" Ala to win. Because with a loss, they were probably going to be out. Now, not so sure. With OSU losing, OK losing again, all sets up for Ala getting in regardless. I may be wrong, but until their name is NOT called, I still believe they are in. Now if OSU and OK would have won, then I truly believe that Ala would of gotten enough calls to win the SECCG. Because remember, it's still all about the money. Two teams in the playoff is a whole bunch of conference money.
GO DAWGS!!!!!
Actually the game was on ABC/ESPN.
I meant our UGA game, sorry.
It's funny how florida's former coach was lambasted for saying any win is a good win after they beat a really bad Samford team but when alabama beats a really bad auburn team playing with a backup quarterback (and needing 4 overtimes to do it) it is a "win for the ages" and a game that will go down as one of the best in the Iron Bowl series. I even hear Saban was dancing in the locker room.
It's not only the refs who are in the tide's corner. I want to beat the snot out of these guys but regardless, count on them still being in the playoffs. I mean, come on, it's alabama. They deserve it, right?
