re: Keep hearing AU "snuck up on people" last year

Yeah, we were unlucky last year and I've covered that before. Anyone saying we were lucky is either ignorant or just didn't watch the games very closely.

Murray did not get in the end zone and the miracle play only happened because the replay official and refs blew it. Hard to say we were lucky to win that game as that last TD shouldn't have ever been needed in the first place.

Against Bama, we turned the ball over on our own 35 to give bama a TD in the only turnover of the game, then ran into each other on that 99 yard TD. Foster blew it for bama on several FGs, but that kinda evened out the breaks that went against us. We did run all over bama and stuff them the entire game in short yardage and most red zone situations. That wasn't luck, that was two pretty even teams playing an epic game.

FSU was the only game I would say involved a lot of "luck" and it didn't go our way. Mainly Parkey being hurt and not being able to get it to the end zone and our guy pulling a hammy to allow the KO return for the TD. The fake punt by FSU wasn't luck, it was one of the best executed fake punts I've ever seen. Our guys running into each other to set up the winning FSU TD was bad luck, but we had our chances to stop them after that happened as well.
