Georgia was up 38-37. Instead of batting down a hail mary on 4th down, 2 DBs tipped it up in the air, which resulted in a miracle td

Iron Bowl was up in the air but Auburn definitely had the momentum...So Saban elects to attempt a dumb FG that is run back 100+ yards for a td

Not taking anything away from Auburn, but those are things you cannot expect. Some other team could get a lucky play against Auburn this year...

See gif above. The universe was just making things right.

I know this is popular but I'm not buying it. He was using his best chance to win. Does any HC base their decision on "What if they have a 100+ yard return?" This is like wondering if lightning is going to strike a specific spot. Yes, it can happen, but it rarely does.

I don't think it is unrealistic to say Auburn won't get the same bounces this year.

I also don't think Auburn will need that many bounces this year. In reality we're only talking about one lucky play anyway, and even that was necessary only due to a likely non-TD.

I personally don't expect us to return to the title game, but I do expect to win a lot of games, play very well, and challenge for the SEC title if not win it. We should be better on defense, comparable on offense, and likely more balanced on offense.
