So, you're just ignoring the drive chart I put up?
WTF?
I'm using your drive chart, genius. Get a calculator and do the math. From the 2ndQ to the end of the game, LSU moved the ball more efficiently than bama.
It really isn't that complicated

The game with UGA last season wasn't a fluke. I consider fluke games to be games that are won on unexplainable plays to be flukes, or games where the team that won was a poor team all season that suddenly plays like a champion, and beats a heavily favored team that played like champs all season but suddenly plays poorly on that day. Things that make you shrug your shoulders afterwards....
The USC-UGA game in '02 was a fluke game: had the ball on the UGA 2 line in the 2nd Qtr., and fumble the ball away; later in the 4th qtr. the USC QB has his pass attempt knocked out of his hand by the UGA player while in the UGA EZ, and the ball ends up in the UGA player's hands without his knowing it for a UGA TD. No one who witnessed that play to this day are able to explain how it happened. Later in the 4th, with 3 minutes left to play, USC drives the length of the field down to the UGA goal line. With seconds left to play in the game, we try to punch the ball in, and FUMBLE the ball away AGAIN on the UGA 2 yd. line. TWICE in one game!
UGA would win that game 13-7.
THAT was a fluke win. Last years' win wasn't a fluke win. Other than the Crowell fumble where he was mostly untouched, every play was a football play that every team executes every season. And even after Crowell's drop, UGA would retake the lead later in the game, so it didn't have direct impact to the game's outcome.
USC made plays on offense, defense, and special teams, just like all football teams do. Just because UGA wasn't able to stop USC from executing those plays doesn't make those plays "fluke" plays. We lined up and snapped the ball. On defense, UGA lined up and snapped the ball, and we stopped you.
Had USC not tried to go into prevent early in the 4th to run the clock down Murray wouldn't have gone off like he did: you think that USC's defense was totally manhandling Murray and the pitiful UGA OL all game long, and then suddenly UGA just said "no more", like you had a choice?? We backed off, gave the ball to Lattimore when our offense was on the field (he ran for 100 yds in the 4th Qtr. alone), and tried to play prevent D to run the final Qtr. down, and Murray took advantage of it. Bad move on our part, but it didn't hurt us in the end...

Totally agree that's why Miles shouldn't have treated the last game that way.

It's no big thing. You won the game that happened to be later in the year. If that magically validates your loss to the best team in college football last year, I'm happy for you. At the end of the day, 1-1 didn't convince me that Bama had the best team. I'm glad that you believe it. I'm sure anything confirming what you already thought would have done that though. For instance, look at the appeals to statistics that ignore starting field position or look at yards as what determines a winner.

I think Bama fans over rate USC because they handled Bama last time they played. USC and AU were fairly even last year. AU just had a tougher schedule. USC was a little better, but certainly not enough so to consider the AU win a fluke
Fair enough and probably is the case to some extent, I hadn't even thought of it that way. calling it a fluke might be a little over the top. I do disagree that Au and USC were fairly even last year. Their defense was better by a huge margin and their offense was a bit better as well. Garcia throwing 2 picks in that game and the 2 fumbles, USCe played a terrible game and Au played their best defensive game of the year. Congrats to Au, deserved the W.

Routine field goals? You do know that any one of those FGs he missed would have been a career long for the kicker in question, right? And one of them did kick a career long. Are you really this ignorant of what happened, or are you simply not very good at trolling?

Nick Saban building LSU's program from nothing into what it is now... was a fluke

Muthafrikkers, the Auburn Victory over Utah State was SKILL. We be good at that late comeback stuff.

Jesus fricking Christ
LSU: 9 + 74 + 12 + 31 + 2 + 8 + 40 + 17 = 193
Bama: 79 - 3 + 6 + 30 + 49 + 30 + 2 - 10 = 183
Please kill yourself

Oh god the 8 quarters argument is LSU's moral victory of the decade..
No, our "moral victory" was an ACTUAL VICTORY in your fricking house. Unlike your "we missed four field goals and lost our only big game of the year at home" moral victory that you campaigned on to get a gift invitation to the NCG. Bama fans talking about moral victories has to be the biggest pot/kettle example in human history.

I'm surprised UGA fans don't call the 2010 USC win a fluke game, because Ealey fumbled the ball near the EZ in a 8-pt. loss, and had he scored that TD, UGA would have easily scored the 2-pt. conversion and then won the game in OT....
Oh wait. They DID say all that. Carry on.....
