As the only negadawg here yet I just have to say that Georgia whipped their candy asses for only 1 quarter out of 4. For the first 3 both the offense, defense, and STs were absolutely pathetic. Out played, out coached, out manned and without a super-human performance by Murray and Auburn's complacency in the 4th Georgia leaves Auburn with a double digit arse whooping.

All true. Heck, it was one of the few games I've watched that I actually gave up on and went outside to grill. Glad I kept checking in on it.

Don't forget, though, we did that with a decimated WR corps and RB corps. And with a brand new, very young defense that was being coached to fail.

And we still were just one batted-down ball away from beating them at their place.

Murray was the reason we came back in that game, but a lot of the reason we fell behind in the first place should be gone, so ....

I was there and while all the pissy dawg fans around me left (pissy cause I kept mocking Richt and Grantham but I always do that) we all stayed around drinking out flask saying "THIS IS ALL A PART OF GRANTHAM'S PLAN, BOY! GONNA LULL THEM TO SLEEP" and I'll be damned if that isn't exactly what happened.

We had Bennett and Conley back by then I believe and we had Gurley but the problem was the OL. They were completely dominated. We couldn't even START the running game let alone set it up. That's why I admired what Bobo did. He saw the giant turd the OL, OTs in particular, were laying as per usual and he adjusted to the short passing game that devastated AU. Ask any sane AU fan and they agreed that was the only reason our offense sparked back to life and Murray threw it masterfully

The defense? frick Grantham, that's all I have

Not doubting that at all and it'll forever haunt me like seeing Conley catch the ball right in front of my seat in 2012. I just didn't like the phrasing "whipping" cause Georgia was essentially routed for 3 quarters and I don't want to give Georgia more credit than they deserve that day
