Auburn isn’t all that good either.

Could have lost to Ky ( refs helped them). Actually lost to Ark (refs saved them) and Tennessee gave them a game on a platter last night. They probably should be 3-4 or 2-5.

IMO, you've played two legitimately good football teams.

One is national title level, the other isn't as good as I originally thought.

Arkansas and Kentucky are bad. Auburn is average.

I agree except I’m not sure Auburn isn’t more lucky than average. Ark beat them fairly and should have been rewarded the game.

We didn't do Auburn any favors. It just delays Malzhan's departure. Their offense only put up 23 points.....against us. You're not winning anything of significance in this league scoring like that.

But they’re 5-2, I like that A LOT better than 2-5

One position cost us the win as it has vs. Kentucky and Arkansas. This ticks me off so much, we should be 5-2. Pruitt is the dumbest SOB I have ever seen coaching.

I think I saw two missed field goals, a pass defense bust that allowed a touchdown, a pass that josh palmer could have caught right before JG threw the Pick 6, bad decision by our kickoff returner trying to run it out of the end zone and then slipping on the 7-8 yd line and happening at the worst possible time after Auburn went up 20 to 10. Except for these individual busts the team played well enough to win, outgaining Auburn in both passing and running. There was significant improvement offensively with the defense playing good enough to win. It wasn't all on JG. We should have won this game; that's what so frustrating

I actually agree with Abington here, the Qb position is holding us back more than anything. We ran the ball good enough in all 3 of these games to win. JG for sure cost us from having a chance at winning all 3, in fact with a good qb our odds are high of winning all 3. GBO!

Georgia is a shell of what they were on defense to start the year because of injuries and then they've had no quarterback, except they may have found one last night, which is a game too late of course. Classic Georgia.

You make alot of good points, people tend to ignore the good things when the bad is over riding things. But JG needs to sit, it's time for Bailey to get his chances. He moved the ball and executed the game when he came in and did not give the other team gifts.This is what is sad, I don't agree with how Pruitt has handled the qb situation but he hasn't lost the team either. Yes, I am sure covid may have messed some things up but everybody had to deal with it so it cannot be used as a excuse. I do think our O-Line is coming around, Gray who I have been hard on lately is playing well now the last 2 games he seems to be finding the holes and the O-line appears to getting into sync. JG has made team deflating decisions starting in the Kentucky game when we were running all over them and he throws a pick 6. And it is a repeated process that continues, he deflates our Mojo at crucial times then we get out of sync again. It's not all him but it is time for a change there. I also think putting Bailey in will motivate the rest of the offense to play even harder for the young Qb. We are beating ourselves at times, we pretty much outplayed auburn or at least held serve but our play at Qb and the missed field goals kept us from winning. Yes, our defense missed on a busted play and gave up alot of 3rd downs at times but they hung in there good enough overall. No doubt the entire team has to keep getting better, but where we need to get better more than anything is the passing game. With our running game playing as good as it has lately there is no reason for us to not be doing better in play action. Bailey hit the tight end more times in one game than JG has the entire year. That and him not turning it over is reason enough for him to deserve the chance to start. He took us down and we scored a TD, he moved us pretty good the entire time he was in. You can tell all he needs is more snaps, he is going to get better and better. GBO!

You take away JG’s pick 6 and we win. 14 point turnaround.

They’re not good. That’s why they were only 10 pt favorites at home against us and covered
