Remember when the press said AU had to become more balanced, won`t be able to run on georgia`s front seven and definently not Bama`s, then it happens and all they want to talk about is the "lucky" plays and this year it`s the same, defensive coordinators have had a year now, AU could have lost 4 games last year, tired old cliches retreaded.


Charles Hollis at the Birmingham News picked AU to lose every week. It became a running joke with AU Fans.

Nothing but jersey. Very clear no shoulder pads

Auburn was unlucky last year vs LSU. Stiff Dew, plus the replay official took an onside kick away from us.

Unlucky against UGA, players running into each other, players blocking the view of the replay official (Murray did not get in)

Unlucky against Bama when we the block in the back was not called, plus Bama's lucky 99 yard pass.

stiff dew?? Did LSU play in that same "stiff dew"? No apologies for your QB playing like a rook in DV, that prob had nothing to do with it, def was the "SD" lame hope it rains again in auburn this year so our freshman can light y'all up at home in the "SD"

Snuck up on? No

Lucky as a shite house rat? Yes

Let's see if you can run the table two years in a row.

Say what you want - y'all were lucky as hell to beat us and to beat Bama

Us? YES - you outplayed us ALL GAME. BUT - you let us hang around and we made you pay, it SHOULD have cost you that game, but you got lucky.

The Bama game wa a little more even, but I would argue that they outplayed you. And you got lucky with an amzing play.

if you can't admit that you had incredible fortune in those two games, then I don;t know what to say. AND MSU had chances to beat you, Y'all could have easily been 8 - 4 last year.

This talk about the Barn being unbeatable this year just does not resonate with me.

Yeah, we were unlucky last year and I've covered that before. Anyone saying we were lucky is either ignorant or just didn't watch the games very closely.

Murray did not get in the end zone and the miracle play only happened because the replay official and refs blew it. Hard to say we were lucky to win that game as that last TD shouldn't have ever been needed in the first place.

Against Bama, we turned the ball over on our own 35 to give bama a TD in the only turnover of the game, then ran into each other on that 99 yard TD. Foster blew it for bama on several FGs, but that kinda evened out the breaks that went against us. We did run all over bama and stuff them the entire game in short yardage and most red zone situations. That wasn't luck, that was two pretty even teams playing an epic game.

FSU was the only game I would say involved a lot of "luck" and it didn't go our way. Mainly Parkey being hurt and not being able to get it to the end zone and our guy pulling a hammy to allow the KO return for the TD. The fake punt by FSU wasn't luck, it was one of the best executed fake punts I've ever seen. Our guys running into each other to set up the winning FSU TD was bad luck, but we had our chances to stop them after that happened as well.

But if for some strange reason the better team (LSU) loses, then the rain would def be the real problem we had not the inferior team (auburn)

Hill, Mett, Landry and obj played in the same exact weather and didnt have a problem. Your qb had an 11.5 rating. The dude couldnt pass. Coates and mason racked up yards, the problem is you dont have a qb. It was 35-14 in the 4th quater, LSU did what they always do, take foot off, run clock out. Congrats you scored because it was desperation and LSU had already won the game.

Ok?
How is that relevant?


From the NCAA RULE BOOK:
quote:

Horse Collar Tackle
ARTICLE 15. All players are prohibited from grabbing the inside back collar of the shoulder pads or jersey, or the inside collar of the side of the shoulder pads or jersey, and immediately pulling the ball carrier down. This does not apply
to a ball carrier, including a potential passer, who is inside the tackle box (Rule 2-34). Note that the tackle box disintegrates when the ball leaves it.

Did LSU really think 3-1 Auburn was just gonna bend over and take?

Yeah pretty much.

What does this have to do with this thread. Is it really all you can think of? It has nothing to do with AU, their season, or the OP. Really. So played out, but also predictable for the low IQ responders. Carry on.

I wouldn't say you snuck up on LSU. More like you were just outmatched by a superior team, coaching, and game plan.



How did you enjoy watching us play in Atlanta and win the SEC title?

What irrelevant bowl game did you guys play in last year? I honestly don't remember.
