I'm still waiting on the "experts" to crow about how lucky aTm was, because if Auburn had won the game like aTm did, that's exactly what they would say...block FG returned for a TD? Luck. Opponent fumbled inside the 3 yd line for the game winning score (I say game winning score, because that's exactly what they would've called it eventhough there was over a minute left to play)? Luck. Opponent fumbled on the possible game winning drive? Luck.
I still liken some of our wins from 2010 to that loss Saturday. We were 24 point favorites against a first-time freshman starter and they hit us in the mouth. We got beat up front on both sides, their WRs blocked like ours usually do... our LBs got pushed around. THEY ACTUALLY HAD SECOND LEVEL BLOCKING when they barely had first level through the previous games. Hell I was expecting to see JJ and I think he was thinking the same. Even our special teams sucked-shame on us!
My guess is we regroup and bring the physicality to Athens. Too many Georgians and hurt feelings on this team to get steamrolled by UGA.
Our pass defense never scared anybody but Auburn fans anyway. We don't really play defense but a quarter or two. Might get a pick or a strip and that generally is enough if our offense is clicking.
Our calling card is offense with spotty defense.
That hasn't changed.
We don't play well with others and the Bammers can crow all they want but they can't be looking forward to facing Auburn in Tuscaloosa with so much on the line, not like they pretend.
