Then suddenly uga figured out how to stop Auburn


This normally happens when UGA plays AU.

See 2013 game 4th Q.
See 2014 game.
See 2015 game.
See 2016 game.
See 2017 game #2.

This is Gus Bus. Once he gets figured out, he gets figured out. Doesn't matter how good your offense was before. It can go from points to punts in an instant.

That makes no sense. in 2014, 2015 and 2016 those were different teams than 2017...not to mention an injury stopped Auburn in 2016. ;)

It's evidence that things can change on a dime, especially with Gus vs uga. It's happened in every single game. Au fans blamed that on Gus or injuries in the past. It's never been because the defense adjusted or momentum shifted.

Not really the evidence you suggest. In 2014 we simply played terrible. No excuses they got whipped. In 2015 neither team had offense and ya'll managed to return a punt. In 2016 if we don't throw a pass in the 2nd half both of those terrible offense would have created a game similar to 3-2 with Auburn winning.

This year injuries were the issue as you have said.

Auburn could move to the East, and they could play Vandy, Kentucky, Mizzou and USCe every year. They still wouldn’t make it to Atlanta any more often

Injuries. Lol! Kerryon was making two jump-cuts within one yard of space. I guess if he had been "healthy" that he would have made 5 jump-cuts within the one yard of space instead? You guys are hilarious. You act as if Kerryon had something wrong with his legs. I guess you guys need to tell yourselves that your team was decimated by injuries in order to digest that butt-whippin' that Auburn took. Lol. Ok..... Whatever gets you through the night.

So you don't believe injuries played a part? That seems odd and really irrational.

And the 3rd down play where we stopped you and got called for offsides. Gave you a new set of downs.. but instead of letting you score and make excuses we made you go three and out. Just pointing out we made mistakes too, but overcame them the first game. Your mistakes stuck out to you the first game because you got beat. And yes, probably vice versa, although as a whole I don't think we have whined about it as much

You don’t think home field advantage had a part? Only time Auburn has beat UGA since 2005 has been in Auburn.

This game was the 4th time out of the past 5 in which Auburn's O looked awesome with an early td drive and then couldn't score another td. In the one game in which this didn't happen to au, it essentially happened to uga.

The lesson to learn? Don't look good with an early td in our rivalry. It's a bad omen.

Auburn whining? Noooooooooooooooo. Haven’t heard hardly a peep of excuses like hard schedule, refs scheming against y’all, playing UGA twice, Bama getting into the playoff, injuries, bad coaching, etc.

Let me see, auburn beats both UGA and Bama. UGA and Bama go to the Championship Series and the Boogs stay home.
That’s about right.

I need to take a look at the play. Sounds Similar but far from the same thing as the 2 4th down examples I provided. The refs also incorrectly applied a penalty on auburn after our punt penalty.

I'm guessing you probably laughed at Bama fans who blamed the Clemson loss in injuries.

A minor part at most. This game was won on the line of scrimmage, as most are.

Of course it did. I believe healthy Auburn 2017 is 2 scores better than uga 2017, not 4.

That would be laughable if Kerry didn't play a snap, much moreso considering how many times he touched the ball.

It was laughable...when our Clemson O showed up. Sometimes laughing is all you can do. Well to be honest even with 60% KJ we weren't as bad as the Clemson O minus KJ.

80% is much more reasonable as he had healthy legs, and a healthy arm.

The 2nd drive of game 2 proves 2 points:

1. You were wrong about it orginally. Said it was a fg attempt drive.
2. It was very similar to how uga handled 100% Kerry in drives 4-7 in game 1. All of a sudden, he had nowhere to go. This really pokes a big hole in your narrative.
