Bama's Recent SEC Road Games

UGA run game v. Bama's front 7, Lane Kiffin's refusal to commit to the run and Lambert v. a legit defense are the dominating topics right now. Bama's recent performance in SEC road games has not been discussed much. Most point to Bama's "decline" beginning with the Kick 6 game - a Bama loss on the road. Going to UGA will be Bama's first true road game in 10 games and will be Coker's first start on the road. Reviewing Bama's last 5 SEC road games gives me some confidence.
2013 @ AU - L - 28-34 - AU finished 12-2
2014 @ OM - L - 17-23 - OM finished 9-4
2014 @ Ark - W - 14-13 - Ark finished 7-6
2014 @ UT - W - 34-20 - UT finished 7-6
2014 @ LSU - W - 20-13 OT - LSU finished 8-5
Outside of a wild 18 min span against UT to start the 2014 game, Bama has been outscored 103-93 in these 5 games. They finished 3-2 with an OT victory and a 1 point victory. All those teams were bowl teams, but not world beaters. I've seen some Bama fans predict two or three possession victories. But what about Saturday suggests they can buck the above trend?

Dude, TideFans will give you cancer. It comes with a warning in California.

So you're saying Bama has a winning record in its last 5 SEC road games? Pretty cool!

Forget irrelevant stats from two years ago. Forget what the pundits are saying. Forget about which defensive line has the bigger dick average. Forget what the dumb fricks are saying on Tardfans.com and whatever the hell UGA's popular message board is.
The picture below is the key to UGA's success and the reason they will win on Saturday:

Do you understand what the phrase "cherry picked" means?
The last 5 Bama road SEC games in a row are hardly cherry picked.

Solid troll. How did you get a computer on that bridge?

I sure do.
I guess you forget the part where he takes away points from Alabama to give Alabama less points scored than allowed, while at the same time counting garbage time TD's against the same team he removes the points from Alabama for.
Why did he go back 5 games instead of just last year? So that he could include the last game of 2013, an Alabama loss. If he goes back further than that, it's all wins until the 2010 season. Doesn't fit the narrative.
So yeah, cherry picked.
Last year on the road in the SEC, Alabama went 3-1 and outscored opponents 85-69.
There's your non cherry picked stat that talks about last years teams instead of this years.

Who is number 34?

I made it clear why the 2013 game was included in the OP.
I think it's equally as clear that UT was a different team once Dobbs took over at QB. Plus, the 20 points in 18 minutes against UT was an unbelievable outlier.
But if you would like to include only last year's road games, then we know that Bama scores 21 ppg on the road in the Kiffin era - that was with better QB play, better OL play and better talent at WR. It was also against 4 teams that likely aren't as good as 2015 UGA.
None of it matters Saturday, but I found it intriguing and I do think it points to a trend. Bama could easily explode for 30+ in the first half. It's happened in Athens before.

I don't know how good you are. Do I use the Vandy game to assess the team? It's really great that we actually get to play these out on Saturdays. But keep trying to convince yourself.

Undervalued statistic. This should be the sole criterion upon which presidential elections are decided.

He picked times during games where points counted for 1 team and not the other...

Why did he go back 5 games instead of just last year?

I know why you troll. We all know Edison hated elephants. You're just mad that you're Tesla's bitch, and Georgia has been Bama's bitch. I understand. Your pettiness is legendary.
