Yep,the AU,UF and WVU games were all games that we should have won.


I still can't believe how awful we looked in the 1st quarter against West Virginia. Even more head-scratching considering we dominated the rest of the game.

The 4th down breakdown against Auburn was bad, but I think that Sugar Bowl was when many people started to question Willie Martinez.

In retrospect, White and Slaton did that to a lot of teams and we were completely unprepared for it. However, those three fumbles absolutely killed us in that game. The biggest play in that game was one that was completely predictable. We had WVU 3rd and 12 inside their own 5, down 31-28. Everyone in the building knew RichRod wasn't going to have Pat White throw the ball there, except for Richt and Willie Martinez. QB draw picks up 15 or so, they score and effectively put the game away.

Losing to West Virginia was embarrassing at the time, but that backfield was one of the hardest to stop in college football in a long time.
