I think what happened in the 4th was not a play calling change. We ran it three times and went three and out on a fluke play when Louis tackled Mason. It seemed that our guys did play tight and not to lose but were also tired in the 4th for the first time.

Remember, Au is the only team to play 11 games in the SEC thus far. It was at the end of a 7 game streatch with no break and we were tired. Against a strong QB, it showed but we hung on and won. I say hung on bec AM was down, no question about it.

Glad this week is a bye for us.

Penalties killed us in the 4th. I can't remember if the offense got any but I know the defense got a ton. I was disappointed with that since we had one of the least penalized teams in the country.

This. They looked very hesitant in all 3 phases of the game in the 4th. UGA is one of the worst kick coverage teams and we got nada on returns.

While it was evident that Auburn was gassed, it was clear that UGA realized they could destroy us in the short-medium pass game. Our linebackers aren't great in coverage and we play our DB's too far off the man. Murray was picking us apart and everyone saw it.

I take full responsibility for our 4th quarter collapse. I started looking ahead to the Iron Bowl and it filtered down throughout the stadium and team. I promise that it will never happen again.
