Don't get it twisted. I was making the point that a comparison of how many play-off teams we each beat that you would be at a disadvantage by virtue of being one of the playoff teams yourself, and us not one.

When was the last time Auburn beat UGA in Athens?
12 years, man. It's been 12 years since Auburn beat Georgia in Athens.

Deep down they all know they probably would have been blown out in Atl if both teams were at full strength.
Auburn is sounding like Excuse University.

I thought it was really nice how Gus handed them the 2015 and 2016 games to let them have the all-time lead for a bit so that they could have something to be proud of.
They'll be super salty when we take it back for good in 2020, but now that they have a recent SEC title to point at there's no reason to keep coddling them.

I KIND OF agree, in that having a "home" presence, highly motivated, etc all played a part. But to me the biggest massive difference that people always seem to gloss over is our addition of Ben Cleveland at RG.
In the first game, we didn't look like we even belonged on the field with AU at the LOS. Our guys were getting physically whipped like a junior high program. When we put cleveland in for the SECCG, our OL instantly got more physical and it showed, we were the ones dominating up front and it helped us in all other aspects.
You can count up crowd noise, motivation, etc but AU didn't do anything fundamentally different from 1 game to the other, whereas we did.

One offensive guard cause a 44 point swing?
How did Ben Cleveland help your defense go from giving up 40 despite a mercy knee to giving up 7?
The UGA offense only had 6 points at halftime and didn't really do much until we started turning the ball over and not making first downs in the 4th quarter, as Gus is maddeningly prone to do.

First game was the auburn lines dominating. 2nd was uga lines dominating. That made the swing.

They usually just try to distract everyone with made-up horror stories about the other team's fans being mean to them, but the SECCG was at a neutral site so gotta find something else.

Having solid protection makes the entire team run more efficiently, yes. For starters we had a 9 minute swing in TOP. That's big. WE had 46 rush yards game 1, 238 the second game. You don't think having an improved OL had anything to do with that?
Dive in further. When you can't run at all (game 1), defense pins its ears back and gets after the QB. Which is made easier based on not having an OL that can block worth a crap. So now our offense can't run or pass, and is quickly giving hte ball back to AU.
Fast forward to game 2. We actually can block. Hey whaddaya know we're getting running yards. Defense can't pin its ears back. Hey whaddaya know, that opens up some passing lanes. Now we're holding the ball longer, scoring more points, and tiring out the defense.
I know you think it sounds comical to think 1 lineman can make such a difference, but it's not that far fetched. Having an OL that can block and give the QB time can't be understated to what it means to the game.

Could that be because our defense was fresh and well rested due to the offense moving the ball better, compared to being on the field constantly in game 1?

I get all of that, but if I recall correctly UGA didnt really do much in the SECCG until after we fumbled in the 4th quarter. Then the floodgates opened. And yeah, it does matter that we had just played bama and were essentially running on fumes at that point late in the game.

maybe not as it relates to the scoreboard, but in relation to everythign I mentioned I'll stand by. We were down 3 touchdowns at the same point in teh first game, compared to winning at the same time in the SECCG. We then scored 15 points in about 4 minutes of game clock to end it.

That's overstated. You were runnign on fumes because we kept your defense on the field UNLIKE the first meeting. Btw, our defense was on the field 6 minutes longer than AU's in the week prior to the SECCG.

I mentioned before, but if gus didn't ruin kerryon's season with the amount of carries he gave him maybe yall would have held the ball longer.

Easier to get a chance to play for one. Just a fact now that four teams are selected vs two, right?

Bad memory. Before that, We scored 2 tds and a fg. Of course the refs took away one of those tds, and another promising drive was cut short by the refs giving thus you a false impression.

Just isn't really true. At the time of the fumble in the 4th, we had run 51 plays to 41 for UGA, we had more first downs, time of possession, and yards. Yes we were down 7 points, but that was mostly due to a fumble going in for a 14 point lead and then a blocked field goal. We were still out playing uga until that 4th quarter fumble. And yes, we did not have much gas left in the tank at that point.
We get a week off before the SECCG, we win comfortably. Again.

I don't know why both sides of this are so stubborn on the issue. Obviously, it is easier to make the playoffs now than in the BCS (4 teams compared to 2). Obviously, it is harder to win the playoff than it was the BCS (win 2 games in 2 weeks against top 4 competition compared to 1 game). It's not difficult people.

No you had 1 touchdown off a turnover and a field goal off of a blocked field goal. Then you did manage to put up another field goal in the first half.
shite doesn't really matter. We kicked the shite out of you guys with ease when both teams were at full strength and we will do it again in Athens this year

This isn't really true. Virtually the entire TOP advantage was gained in the 4th quarter. Our defense had not been on the field much at all the first three quarters.

Your backups for most of it and against a team that runs the clock all the way down after every play.

Show the math on yardage. Y’all did own the first 17 minutes of the game and then momentum turned.

That's just blind homerism to think that and is not based in any real fact at all.

So, the only reason you got your shite kicked in the 2nd game was because KJ was less than 100%? Is that what you're claiming?
