While very lucky...and seemingly having lost the Bama game at various points throughout the 4th quarter...seriously, one FG kick made and the game is over...


Most people tend to forget that special teams is a part of the game. AU had better special teams, and it was a big factor in winning. But so was stopping Bama's run on 4th down, running the ball effectively, throwing a TD to a double covered Uzomah, and CALLING the play (after a TO) that allowed the FG return at the end of the game. That's not a fluke, its good play. The Georgia game was more of a lucky game, IMO -- although Murray did NOT get into the end zone on that run (which probably worked out better for AU in the end).

No, I agree.

You guys won the Bama game straight-up...fair and square.

Stopping the 4th down shows your will and strength as a team...blocking the FG earlier.

That's football - which is why Bama arguments are lame - as they always are.

But you didn't look like a dominant team throughout the year - and I don't think you are.

But you have that special resilience. I wouldn't beat against you. But FSU could be special.

We don't really know. I think this Auburn is mentally tough as nails. I don't understand why everyone thinks 2010 is so much better. That was not a special Oregon team...just a very good team running their system that Auburn struggled with despite shutting down the point of attack with Fairley and Co.
