But if you want to convince the world that Kirby Smart can't motivate a team against it's rival enough to stop them from running up the score on them, while having a RB who doesn't matter rush for over 160 yards then be my guest.

It was not about motivation, but rather an issue with a lack of focus in a raucous environment. Failing to properly respond to self induced adversity. An off day filled with stupid mistakes compounding on each other.

Auburn hasn't beaten Alabama like that in over 60 years, but I guess Kirby Smart just doesn't have it in him.
