If by 'took away the run' you mean you were able to stop our beat up 2nd string RB (starter missed the entire game) and and by 'BB gun arm' you mean 'injured' then I totally concur. Which only goes to prove my contention, the outcome is almost completely dependent upon actual gametime factors, including injuries, and not "mental edges" based on historical trends.

Won't argue about Gustav screwing up with the playcalling/personnel decisions, just as he had the previous year in Jordan-Hare (fortunately he seems to have addressed that in the offseason, although that remains to be seen).

But to somehow attribute any part of your 2016 tDSOR win to Richt's success against us in previous seasons stretches credulity IMHO.

Still took away the run from an Auburn offense predicated on it. Plus the 2nd stringer was a good RB in his own right.

Also White is not a prolific thrower already, but yes the injury hurt those results too.

I guess I'm just one of those fans who takes mental edge as a vital part of the game. While I know a host of other factors are involved I just know personally the mental edge is something I would want on my side as a player.
