I kinda think this Bama team is different. That Milroe is a qb that don't really care about any of that voodoo nonsense. He likes challenges and loves the game. I doubt he comes out tense.

Burton won't be tense either, he lives for giving the opossing team and fans shite.

Auburn doesn't have that great of a defense. Their dline is suspect to the run and they don't get much penetration. Their offense has a qb who is one of the worst qbs in the Sec.

I don't think Bama is gonna play around with au and I don't think au has what it takes to stay with Bama.

That 2021 Auburn team was a 6-7 team and Bo Nix was injured. TJ freaking Finley almost beat us. Took 4 OTs to win. Anything is possible in JH.

At the same time that 2021 Bama team was so inconsistent. They were 10 minutes away from winning a Natty too...that could have been one of Saban's best coaching jobs ever. This team right now feels different. Like there's no "let up" towards the end of the year.

We all love Bryce Young but seeing him in the NFL now it makes sense why we had scoring droughts with him as our QB. BOB was a major issue but I think it's pretty clear now that Young wasn't perfect. Milroe with his legs is cooking right now.

No one would have said this at halftime of the Tennessee game but our offense might be more consistent right now with Milroe simply due to his escape ability and his ascension in the passing game.

Alabama was decimated by injuries two years ago on offense. That was why the game was so close two years ago. Jameson getting thrown out of the game was a huge moment in the game.

BFanLC has a point. This team learned their lesson with USF and Texas game, and they have improved so much since then.

Except we were losing to Tennessee at halftime, and tied with LSU at halftime.

Not to mention our lackluster Arkansas performance compared to Auburn s blowout of Arkansas

We blew out UT, blew out lsu, and Arkansas had given up the season at that point that they played au.

Some of you guys are relentless when it comes to all things Alabama with criticism.

Georgia was down 14-3 to S Car in Athens at half. Won 24-14. Only beat this awful Auburn team by 7. Missouri had a chance to win in Athens late in the game. Is UGA the only team capable of improving during the season?

Like I jokingly said after the South Florida game…this will be the worst 14-1 team of all time.

Just keep winning.

A 72 yr old coach that many said his best day are behind him
A QB not many believed in or wanted.
A OL that couldn’t block a snowman.
A defense that’s not even ranked in the top 10.
A team that doesn’t have really any superstars.

Has quietly put themselves in a position to have the opportunity to win it all. And even if they don’t they have proven a lot of the so called experts wrong that said this team was finished.

This team just finds a way to win and at the end of the day that’s all that matters.

Due to running the same offense which had us beaten by Texas.

The moment we started calling the new playbook in the second half we stomped them.

and tied with LSU at halftime.


Your point? LSU offense is the best in the country.

BTW LSU was beating FSU at halftime. They were down 3 to Ole Miss and 7 to Missouri at halftime.

Being tied with LSU is no shame, especially when we won by 14 and basically took our foot off the gas once we hurt Jayden.

Arkansas was before we changed our offense and last I checked Auburn gave UGA everything but that didn't stop UGA from destroying much better teams.


Context is your friend man

Not just Auburn.

South Carolina led UGA with less than 8 minutes left in the 3rd and it was a 3 point game well into the 4th.

It's almost like even good teams have off days when you get to the grind of conference play.....

We were coasting in the second half and Arkansas had all but given up in that game...and then that facemask happened. Bama couldn't get it ramped back up and that penalty gave Arkansas just enough momentum to make it interesting.

We should beat them easy, but AU only comes ready to play when it's at JHS. I think Bama wins but I'll be nervous leading up to kickoff.
