Emmitt Smith. We came so close to key wins so many times during his college years. Emmitt came into his h.s. gymnasium on signing day wearing an Auburn (hat?) but took it off for a UF hat or shirt. After he went 0-3 against Auburn at UF, left early and got hate mail from UF fans, he told the Pensacola paper he wished he'd gone to Auburn and that we would have won a national title had he done so. We had good backs during that era but Emmitt was one for the ages and in any event he would have whipped even more butt in Dye's system & behind Calloway's line and he would have been the difference in us coming close and at least sharing a couple national titles. IMHO.

There are many reasons to question malzahn right now but this aint one of them. The entire country is that record (percentage wise) or worse vs bama & Georgia over the same period but their coaches dont have to play both or even either every year, never mind twice over 3 weeks. LSU is another story.

A lot of UGa holding impacting plays has gone uncalled in the last 10 mins.

Rats. 4 post season shutouts in a row now for the golden gophers - against teams that know their way around the attacking third. They may go far this tournament.

If we make the big plays on O & special teams it seems we are oh so close to making every game and keep them from making 3d & longs, it should be a tight game IMHO. (Understanding turnovers & injuries will be even larger than normal in this game).

Auburn plays Minnesota in the first round of the NCAA tournament IN AUBURN this afternoon at 3. Minnesota lost 3 or their last 4 regular season games before inflicting 3 consecutive shutouts on solid competition in the Big 10 tourney. Good draw for us however IMHO.

Just curious, when is the last time offered a 2 star RB? Not being sarcastic, truly curious.

Exactly!

Interesting worry-wart piece re this weekend from the Dawg point of view. https://ugawire.com/2018/11/06/uga-footnall-5-reasons-why-georgia-football-could-lose-to-auburn-on-saturday/6/

Except Florida which is overrated throughout virtually every season based on (one can only speculate) their history?

AU 17 Georgia 10 Does anybody else go back and look at these score prediction threads AFTER the game? It can be very educational.

Side note: last night Driscoll's former teamates at UMass topped Liberty, our opponent in 2 weeks, 62 - 59 in OT. So when we play Liberty can we therefore compare us vs the level of competition from whence ole Jack comes?😁 UCF says we could...

In the unlikely but possible event we (for the second season in a row) beat 2 top 5 teams in our final 3 reg season games...or even 1... it will be no doubt be "they'd already quilaified for sec title game so werent motivated so I ain't givin' gus nothin' on that!" I mean since everybody's already made up their mind and nothing can change it.

You're not alone, the internet is loaded with media stories downplaying this win over #20 aTm including headlines that we "stole" it.
