I think they'd put in USC, cause ESPN has been slobbering all over them lately.

I think they'd deserve it more personally. We barely escaped app st and Ohio, and Utah Bama Stanford are better losses than SC Bama aTm IMO

The only "lucky" play I see from this year was the end zone fumble from App State. We were extremely lucky there.

I tend to think there was an element of luck at the end of the Georgia game.

First was the 15 yard penalty on Georgia after their touchdown. It gave us an extra 15 yards when they kicked to us. Without that dumb penalty, who knows?

Second was the Hail Mary at the end of the game. I don't know the stats but that play is pretty much a lucky play. I really doubt that play results in a TD very many times. Georgia had at least 6 or 7 guys in the end zone---all of them were behind Jennings. That has to be luck. If 1 Georgia player had been in front of him, who knows?

How lucky was the bomb Georgia scored the go ahead touchdown on?

I suppose their Hail Mary 14 seconds prior where foreman inexplicably stopped running could be considered luck along with Eason recovering their fumble in end zone for a touchdown.

Based on the proposed starting OL for Saturday, here was a question on 247:

Jack Jones in the dog house?

John Brice's answer:

I do not have any indication Jack is in the doghouse. I know the hand/thumb cast was the issue to sit him vs TTU, and he wasn't as effective bc of it at USC.

But he played a ton last week & held up fine. It's confusing, but a topic we will ask about Saturday in post-game.

That was a one on one play. Have you not watched our guys get beat one on one all year? Call it what you will but the Hail Mary was truly lucky.

So was the play Florida scored on last year to beat us?

We beat UGA any way you slice it. Jujuan Jennings going up and wanting that ball more than those guys wasn't luck. They weren't coached well enough to defend that play correctly.

It's not any different than Foreman pulling up early on that bomb they connected on to go ahead.

the entire string of events that allowed us to even attempt the hail mary were lucky. Foreman blown coverage on td play, Rico running off the sideline to get unsportsmanlike penalty 15 yds, offside on KO 5 yds, Berry quick return. Dobbs throw, Jennings fighting for the ball. He even bobbled it on the way to the ground.

I also think the QB change they had give them a slight edge. They've been playing a lot better once they switched

These aren't luck.

We put in a special kick off team/formation to bait them into kicking it to Berry. That's coaching.

Dobbs throwing the ball into the endzone isn't luck. That's not exactly splitting the atom. He threw the ball to a designated spot.

Jennings fighting for the ball is luck? Please. The guy always fights for the ball.

Bobbling is luck? Pretty clean catch for a hail mary grab draped with defenders.

Don't bother

Same cats who wouldn't accept moral victories for near losses claim moral losses for close victories.

Ain't nobody taking those wins away, no matter how many plays you try to erase

Is there a list anywhere of any potential recruit visits this weekend? I saw a mention of Bubba Thompson being in this weekend. Any other visitors?

Hate to even mention this, but where would be ranked right now if we had beaten USC? 5 or 6?
