Was thinking about this earlier after Spurrier's comment about how he liked that we were talking so much about not being able to score at WB.

Under Richt, UGA has always seemed like a team that gets in a certain mindset; sometimes good (the road confidence in his early years and the way that reflected in their play) and sometimes bad (going into Jacksonville every year wondering how we were going to blow it, even with Zook on the other sideline).

Right now it feels like we've gotten some confidence back regarding Jacksonville, but have traded it for a poor mindset when it comes to WB. I think that affects a team's play, increases the mental errors, etc. The recent games at WB have just been strikingly similar to some of the turds we've laid at the WLOCP.

Could be completely wrong but it just is something that stood out to me. And I don't know how it gets corrected aside from just winning. God knows the talk will be even worse the next time we play there, especially among our fans and the media.


TL;DR: shitty mindset makes us more error prone when we play at WB, just like it used to in the WLOCP.

We did win the turnover battle 2-0. Hard to lose a game when you do that, but we found a way
