Georgia 17, Auburn 13. Even combined, there weren't a "good amount of points." Better luck next week with Bama, Swami.
Sorry, Georgia. Auburn's game plan of great play capped off with futility in the clutch was too much for your overthrown pass/poor tackling master strategy. You gave it your best, but in the end, they out mediocre-d you. Hey, you have a bye week and then get to try it all again against the deadly triple-option attack of Georgia Tech. By the way, you're never going to lose these games if you don't get that pesky Knowshon to fall in line with your game plan. He can't keep spinning around, juking, running over and dashing past people if you want this to work.
Fo Realz, tho:
I'd have loved to blow Auburn out, because I'd love to blow out everyone we play. Our offense looked good early, but then the special teams 'kicked' in (pun'd) and we came away with no points. The D looked good at first, too. But, then Kodi Burns got competitive and we stopped tackling or covering down field. We went into mental shut-down mode and if weren't for the POTG Moreno who makes 3 yard runs look good, we probably would have lost. Tubs made a good call by going for it late, no matter the hindsight paradigm of 1 point vs. 4 points. With that wind and the ugly play on both sides, there was no FG guarantee. The Tigers played well in both halves, finally (much to the delight of in-house Auburn fan, the Moviegoer), and made it close all the way. It was a good, tense game, slightly overshadowed by Navy's comeback attempt over ND playing on the other TV.
