Only way that can happen is for Aub to beat Ala.  

Even if it does happen, moot point since Texas is beating A&M.

11-1 still gonna be a heck of a year for the Ags!  And then anything can happen in the CFP.

Don't sleep on Bama at Auburn.

Sometimes strange things happen at the Barn, and last time they played there AU nearly knocked them smooth out of the playoffs, needing a monumental disaster at the end to help them lose. 

I guess I don't recall that game...what happened?  

I'm confused on why the punting team (Alabama) wasn't awarded a TD on the punt recovery.  The Auburn guy muffed the punt, Alabama picked it up and ran it in.  I heard in the video the official say the ball was down by rule or something?  Weird.  

And then on the TD play, after it looked like a lucky break for Auburn, Milroe was literally given all day to make that throw, and the coverage was not great.  

We had something similar happen in about 2004 vs OU.  Our best receiver/PR muffed the punt near the end of the game with A&M leading, OU recovered on like the 5 yard line or something.  Trying to remember our PR guys name, it was a terrible mistake that pretty much cost us the game.  It was later found out when he barely got into the NFL he had some kind of major injury or suffered one early or something and never played pro ball.  Terrance Murphy, I just remembered.  He's supposedly a big shot business man in BCS area now.  

A variant came up in the UGA game when a UGA player recovered the on side kick and then went to the ground with no one around him.  He can't advance it after recovery.  I thought it a heady play by Cash Jones, who recovered it.

Great name.  Just as good as money.

Yeah, they rushed TWO and kept a spy in the middle, so I guess you could say 3 at the line with 8 in coverage.  Like.....with 6 full seconds, you expect somebody to get home, no matter how good the protection is.  And if you don't, well, they only have to cover the endzone and enough real estate in front of it for a ball carrier to plausibly advance to the endzone before being tackled.  I estimate about out to the 10 yard line.  Shouldn't have a guy open in the corner.  And really, in that situation, I think it's probably safer to keep the secondary back and blitz the bejeezus out of the QB.  If he gets it off, it likely won't be a good throw, or to a spot where the secondary can't do something about it before a player reaches the EZ. 

It was just bad all the way around. 

I absolutely hate it when they simply put almost zero pressure on the QB and he has all day to make a throw like that.  I'd rather get burned blitzing and fail then just give them all day like that.
