This year more often than not road teams in a hostile environment for the first time have shite the bed.

Texas@Arkansas
Arkansas@UGA
Ole Miss @Bama
Florida@UK
Bama@Florida
AU@Penn State

UGA is very good but I bet it'll be most of those guys first time starting road game at a place like JH. No way I'd touch it.

I think this is actually more true this year than most because of COVID and the 2020 season..

That makes the first hostile road game the first of its kind for all freshman and sophomores.. so half of each team maybe?

Perhaps that helps Texas vs Oklahoma this week.

It isn’t the exact same since it is a 50/50 split at the Cotton Bowl, but this will be the first hostile game for OU since 2019.

Georgia is probably good enough to overcome this X factor.. but I was shocked at the JHS numbers over the last 7 years.. it doesn’t mean shite for this year, but the crowd will definitely be juiced.

The key for Auburn imo is to stay close.. or even get a lead and make Georgia feel some pressure. Until it happens, you don’t know how a team will respond.

ETA: Bryan Harsin loves trick plays. If Auburn can connect on 1-2 of them, we might have a game.
