What is it about auburn blowing people's doors off early only to let them get back in it late?
Gus is still learning about crushing teams when he has them down.
OM, UGA, and FSU should have been blowouts.

I think it's less that and more the other team figured out ways to exploit AU. It's not like your defense flipped the switch off in teh 2nd half against us, we just started executing.

El oh facking el. This ranks up there as one of the best statements of the offseason so far. I could just as easily say UGA should have won the game if we bat the ball down. Shoulda, coulda, woulda ain't good for shite.
The best argument I've seen you make is the Year 2 effect, but AU's situation in Year 2 reminds me much more of a similar situation from the past:
In 2005, this coach defied all odds with a magical 11-1 regular season in his 1st year as HC at this school. Not even the school's own fan base expected something this good for the 2005 season. It was a shock to the conference.
In 2006, this coach and school didn't necessarily struggle, but he slightly regressed to the mean in Year 2 with a 10-2 regular season. The Year 2 effect wasn't kind to him because sustaining the outrageously unexpected success he had in Year 1 was nearly impossible.
Name that coach and team. 2013 AU v 2014 AU will essentially be a mirror image of 2005 x v 2006 x.
