Was 2017 Auburn better than the 2010 Bama team?

Damn cb, that was quickly put into perspective. Good point.

2017 Auburn was the better team and also won the division, but 2017 Auburn also would've probably lost the 2010 Capital One bowl due to Malzahn checking out following the conclusion of the regular season.

Helll no

Well if the game were at Jordan Hare then probably, but if not then the 2010 Bama team is better.

AU had key injuries in the SECCG that fricked us up in that game. If KJ is healthy, that game turns out the same way the first UGA game did. probably closer score.

Bama had the 22nd ranked total offense and 18th ranked scoring offense.

A shitty, I mean absolutely shitty, 2010 Auburn D dominated bama in the second half that year. The 2017 Auburn D was light years better.

The run D was pretty stout, but the pass D was atrocious. That D made every QB look like a Heisman candidate.

ETA You are right about the second half of games. In most games, the second half D looked the exact opposite of the first half D..........but you could still throw all over us that year.

Mariotta (sp) threw for 374 yards in the NC game.

Hard to say.

2010 Bama was more talented and had more potential. It was one of the most talented teams Saban has ever had.

But 2010 Bama had some mental issues or something. They never improved as the year went on. Then we saw what they were capable of in the first half of the IB (utter domination of anyone), then in the second half we saw them fold and get destroyed as thoroughly as they dominated the first half.

I would not call either team better than the other.

That Bama team never played at full strength until the bowl game, and I honestly thought Kirk Cousins might die. But there's more to it than talent, obviously.
