re: Same score differential at half: LSU comes out ready to fight and win. UGA laid down

The game was definitely still in reach, especially since we forced a punt on their first possession. But our returner muffed the punt and put them deep in our territory where they proceeded to score and make it 23-7. Knew the game was pretty much over at that point.

I still don't think UGA ultimately wins that game even without that muffed punt, we got beat too bad up front. But that was a huge play at a pivotal point in the game, and it went a long way towards turning that game into the blowout it became.

I will also say that after what I saw from Auburn, I am perplexed that they managed to somehow lose to LSU this year. But they always play better at JH.
