I agree, they were average this season. However, KJ and Pett for the 3 quarters he played healthy this season made them above average.
Our worst OL games were Clemson, Mercer, 2nd half LSU and uga II they all had one thing in common. We were missing 1 of our top two backs and the other back was playing between 60%-75%. KJ turning 2 yards into 6 yards despite the blocking in front of him was a huge key to helping JS get his stride and open the passing offense up without him being sacked every other play. Freezing safties and LB's in run support is important in every offense but it is critical to Gus' adapted wing-T.
Forcing a safety to come into the box for run support is paramount to beating a team deep...we did that in November with our running game and couldn't in December.

It was not a close game. You guys act like you blew us out the first game, but forget that we had ill timed penalties, dropped passes and fumbles. But when it happened to Auburn y'all use them as excuses to say the second game was close. You can't have it both ways.

I agree about your 1st string QB, but I also believe everyone believes it was the best thing that happened to uga.
I can agree with that. But it is called depth. That is a part of football. Having quality depth is what makes for good football teams.

The way he played in the SECCG after what happened in Jordan Hare was extremely impressive. He is a gamer, IMO he was a gamer in spite of what went down in Jordan Hare.
A lot of people outside of Georgia doubted him. They still do. Look what everybody is saying about us against Oklahoma. We can't win because we have a freshman QB that can't carry us if needed to.
Honestly? I was shocked by the SECCG. I did not expect that. I think Auburn came into the game thinking about how you dominated us in the first game and it bit you. That and Kerryon's injury. Gus has got to share the load among your RB's next year. He can't continue to run them 30 times in a game.

I normally don't worry about ref decisions. They make mistakes.
So if you take that into account. Then Auburn was driving in the 4th up 2 points instead of down 6. Assuming the game was played clean. If you give uga credit for forcing one turnover then Auburn is driving in the 4th down 1 with the best kicker in the game in spite of
It would have been a 9 point swing in favor of uga instead of 13. In reality the final outcome of point swing was 24 or 28 depending on whether you give Auburn 3 or 7 for 4th quarter drive where KJ fumbled. Nobody in football overcomes that differential.
As I said earlier, anyone could see Auburn running out of gas so none of the numbers suggest Auburn would have won. I only brought them up because the numbers don't suggest the dominance being asserted in this thread either.

Tell us...after beating us by 23 point sin the first game...what would you say happened in the second? Did Auburn choke it away?
We might get beat, but we are going to the playoffs, and we won the SEC. That's something Auburn didn't do. Oh, and speaking of choking away.....LSU. Did you really have a 21 point lead?

No Auburn fan would say the SECCG was meaningless, but the November game for an Auburn fan had a lot of meaning.
Actually, I was thinking the same thing. The first game had a lot of meaning for Auburn. We could lose and still go to the playoffs. (Which is what happened) Auburn had to win to play in the SECCG, so it was a big game for them. To say it was a meaningless game would be incorrect.

Same thing happened in the first game. UGA was forcing punts and field goals (except for a few penalties) even into the 3 and out to start the 3rd quarter. Then, we couldn't stop your run game even if you ran the ball 10 times in a row and told us the play before-hand. It happens and is how games get lopsided late.

What? We scored a td to go up 14-7, and then had to settle for a fg instead.

Kind of funny how that works, actually. A great OLine can make an average RB look very, very good...and by the same token a great RB can make an average OLine look very, very good.

You should enjoy them. If it were reversed we would enjoy them!
But, the fact remains is we took care of business and are going to the playoffs, which is the ultimate goal.
Some of you guys are coming on here and acting like Alabama and Georgia went 6-6.
(Not saying you, as such, but some are)

I realize you don't troll, badly...but we all...at times troll in subtle ways. That is what I meant.
I am not trying to make excuses, but with 4:09 left in the 2nd quarter of the game in November uga went down 2 scores. That was as close as uga got in that game with it getting worse as the night went on.
That is much different than what the stats tell you in the 2nd game. To be fair the point swing was 13 in favor of Auburn in November. If you even it out it accounts for a 10 point Auburn win. One thing to keep in mind when looking at stats and breaking down games you have to realize things happen because of the reality on the field no matter what the stats say.
Auburn was down 1 score until 12:00 to go in the game with similar mistakes to what uga made in the first game. So I do agree with you in that regard.
IMO if uga and Auburn played 10 "clean" games they would all end in 1 score games. They are evenly matched this year...maybe if you take home field advantage into account the home team might score late and win by two scores.

Check my post above. The games were similar but with 4:09 left in the first half uga went down 2 scores and never got closer. That is different than how things played out in the SECCG.

The holes to bounce outside were drastically reduced.

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.
