I’m interested in your confidence levels at each turning point.

Here is how I was feeling as a confidence percentage Bama would win.

Halftime: 15%
Tua coming in: 25%
Tua’s scramble for a 1st down and subsequent TD: 60%
Fromm’s long TD pass on the very next drive: 25%
Tua’s interception: 15%
Fromm’s interception on the next play: 25%
Bama’s subsequent fg: 30%
Bama’s next FG: 40%
Tua’s lucky TD pass to tie the game: 85%
UGA getting ultra conservative and going 3 and out on the next drive (wild dawg?): 90%
Bama getting the ball to normal FG range with only a few plays and then shutting it down for a FG attempt: : 70%
Missed FG: 25%
Winning coin toss: 50%
Fromm sack: 65%
Rod’s FG: 40%
Tua sack: 10%
Tua pass: 100%

I was a tempest of emotion.

How did Dawg fans see it?

When the blocked punt was egregiously called offsides I knew UGA had zero shot at winning.

But that play shouldn’t have even happened due to a false start.

That play in actuality had almost zero effect on the outcome.

Should have been a false start. Re-punt would have resulted in much worse field position than what you ended up with.

I was around 48 percent but when Tua broke like 9 tackles on 3rd and 7 I thought we were screwed.

Let’s don’t. I’d rather forget it happened. The season stopped at halftime in my mind.

When we sacked Tua in OT, I told my pa in law we’re gonna sack him again and he’s gonna throw a pick on a desperation pass on 3rd down. Then y’all tore out my heart and stomped it flat.

You can't have it both ways. Your team false started on a 4th down touchdown as well and several other times in the 4th quarter and it was never called. The blocked punt should have stood. The rest I don't really care about but if we are going to call the game correctly....calling us offsides was bullshite. You know it, I know it, the camera knew it. It is what it is but that play hurt us.

Honestly the only time I thought we might win was after the mecole touchdown. I was ready to lose in a heartbreaker the whole time (being a uga fan), but it was still more painful than I could've imagined

Know what else hurt you? Your quarterback bouncing a pass off a defensive lineman’s helmet, when all you needed was a field goal to put the game out of reach.

Go back to the natty game vs Clemson. Drugged up Lawson was lined up offsides every snap.

We certainly didn't help ourselves. I'm not blaming the refs for the loss but if that punt block stands (as it should have if your not going to call false starts the entire game) then our chance of winning is significantly increased. You guys benefited several times from not getting false starts. The outcome doesn't change but you can't sit here and fricking pretend the punt block was a win either way it was called for Bama when they didn't call a false start the entire game.

No doubt the refs sucked shaft.
