The problem was when there was an injury on the OL, Hand wouldn't sub a player in, he reshuffled the entire OL. Ask Penn St fans what they thought of him. AU has very good talent on the OL, they just need some continuity and coaching.

Here is where we disagree strongly. We stopped the outside before Kerryon showed he was hurt.

KJ went into the game hurt and UGA knew it.

I don't know if Kerryon being healthy would have made a game changing difference or not. maybe. maybe not. but we came out with a completely different offensive and defensive philosophy in the second game.

Rumor was that Saban helped Kirby with the gameplan. AU burnt Bama doing the same things they did with UGA the first game. By having KJ ineffective (but still played him), it was easy to take AUs Offense down. That is why a lot of fans had problems with Gus at the end of the year. He could adjust to an injury.

How? Gus implied he was healthy. Your fans were saying he was 100%.

Yeah. That's not a good way to handle a Oline. I agree 100%.

I doubt it. I mean, Saban isn't going to help anybody, I don't think. he wants to be top dog....and I can't blame him. Anything is possible, I guess, but Kirby seemed to do well game planning all year, and then did very well with half time adjustments.

Like I said. I have no problem saying the Kerryon's injury had an effect on the game. I am not ready to say that had Kerryon been 100% healthy it would have changed the outcome. I understand we will probably always disagree on this point....I mean you are an Auburn fan and I am a Georgia fan. It's not like either of us are unbiased.
