still not sold. If it weren't for 3 lucky plays, you are sitting at 8-4...
If you want to call going down the field and scoring(MSU) a lucky play then every team that ever won anything was lucky.
Also if you want to call a returner running by the tacklers luck then every return ever was just luck. Plus the Bama game wouldn't have been over even if we didn't return it for the TD.
As for the lucky play against UGA, UGA was just as lucky to get a free TD from the refs on 4th down on the drive before when Auburn stopped AM short of the goal line. Take away both lucky plays and Auburn still wins.
To the OP I wasn't skeptical about Gus but was about the players after last year and figured it would take at least 2 or 3 years to have a real shot at winning the SEC.

Auburn executed better. The linemen did not execute proper field goal return coverage. Two of Auburn's touchdowns were gifts: the Nick Marshall touchdown run and Sammie Coates touchdown reception. Both were the result of an Alabama player taking himself out of the play. Auburn also gave Alabama a gift with the 99 yard touchdown. Auburn caught more breaks than Alabama, and that's the bottom line. Auburn made Alabama work hard for 3 of Alabama's touchdowns. Auburn got 3 on plays that Alabama fricked up. I can't fault Auburn for taking advantage of Alabama's various miscues, but I'm not convinced that Auburn was the better team that day or is the better team now.
