You are remembering incorrectly, then. We scored our first time we touched the ball in the game. The score was 16-7 at the half. (I guess technically that is two scores, but it's not like we were being blown out at the half.) But lets not gloss over the fact that we got a "jumping" penalty on a punt, and Auburn kept the ball and scored. then we fumbled a punt and Auburn scored there, too.

Like I said....we will point to penalties, fumbles etc and say our loss was not as bad as it looked, and Auburn fans will point to Kerryon's injury and fumbles to say their loss was not as bad.

It really doesn't matter in the long run. They still go down as a win and a loss for both teams.

You are right. I had it as 9 at half, but must have confused LSU. So technically it was a 1 score game. Ya'll also left 3 on the field before half. I stated Auburn had a 13 point swing advantage in the first game. Points swings are huge in football...taking advantage and avoiding them. We also had a penalty near mid field where we gave ya'll free downs in the first game (much like the jumping the shield). The difference was we turned ya'lls mistake into points and we managed to minimize our mistake by getting off in 3 and out after the penalty. Those situations are huge in games and proved to be in both games.

Absolutely agree with your last points...just talking football. Which on tRant isn't easy.
