I remember James and Dunn getting injured a little(missed 1 game each) but no one else. The problem after the Clemson mauling was they were not satisfied with OT, so they moved Golson out of C and to tackle and brought in the grad transfer to Center, where he stayed all season... Go back and look at the starting lineups during the year....We had the same lineup for the last 6 games of the season. So for next season, as another poster mentioned having Grimes i think will help getting a stronger starting OL for the first game of the season.

I'm talking about the schedule overall not running out of gas against Wash. We need to take the appropriate measures so that doesn't happen again at the end...idk how though. Right now as I see it what could keep us from winning is Gus, the o-line, or the secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I would rather it be at their place considering how we've performed in the Benz since it is not a home game. Did not mean to like your post. Actually, I dislike your post. We want to play in MSB stadium at the end of season every year, it give us great exposure as long our coaches have our team prepared to play well (unlike the disaster that was the SECCG and Peach Bowl) which hopefully is the reason behind your post. We should love to play in Atlanta. The reason our fans didn't show up for the Peach Bowl is because Gustav had us unprepared for the SECCG and we sucked and we have also sucked consistently under Gus in bowl games so most educated fans knew what to expect in the Peach Bowl. Atlanta is a perfect place for AU to play other than JHS with the right coach. Gustav has a fat new contract, maybe he can grow into the right coach in the next two years.. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think ANY team can go 3-0 against UGA/UAT/UGA in 4 weeks. If you look at just AU and UGA and UAT this year. We were 2-1, UGA was 1-2 and UAT was 1-1, and we were the only one of the three that was not in the playoff. Just what we're stuck with....cheaters prosper with an easy schedule while we have to walk through a burning ring of fire to get to the sec chp.

Don't know why we play so poorly in big games from home, but it will have to change. My definition of quality = team that finished the season in the Top 25 Winning this first game would do so much for our confidence just like the last two years against clemson but it just feels like something will keep us from winning again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
