Pruitt? 7 points for an offense averaging 38 up to that point ... That's a pretty good day for UGA, and bad for Gus' offense.


And yet Malzahn's offense scored 31 on a more talented Pruitt defense just 10 months before.

In other words, jury's still out on Pruitt v. Malzahn, IMO.

It would seem to be a lot harder for a Coach to motivate his players when the media is constantly telling them how great they are.

Somebody is gonna be hyped. Might as well be Auburn. But once the ball is kicked, the hype means nothing.

Jury may still be out, but over the last 6 qts against Pruitt, Malzahn scored 17 points. I would say Pruitt adjusted pretty well after a rough first half of the national championship.

When had Auburn been stopped at all during 2013? That offense was nasty and to hold them to 31 points was probably a minor victory. People always forget about the 2nd half of that game where Pruitt held Auburn to 10 points and 35 yards in the 3rd quarter. It certainly wasn't a good performance, but FSU's D stepped up when it needed to.

So for the last 6 quarters of Pruitt vs. Malzahn, Gus has managed 17 points.
