Not that the team has anyone but their defensive lineup to blame.
I'd arrived at Midtown Sports Grill during the second quarter and the game was tied up at 14-14 as they headed into half-time.
Marcia had called me in because Elissa was going to be out of town and she wanted some company.
As I'd told Cheri last night, the temperature at 7 AM was going to be the highest we would get all day.
In fact, as the WSAV weather song shows, there's a 20-degree difference between the high on Friday and the one today.
All next week is not going to be much better.
I've already put the blanket on the bed a couple of weeks ago.
Tonight, I'll put a heater in the bedroom, too.
I won't worry about the rest of the house, but that one room is going to be my haven against the autumn chill.
The score says it all.
With only two minutes left to play, the Auburn Tigers was still matching the # 1 team on the scoreboard.
That's because both teams only scored when they had the ball, because both teams had poor defensive plays.
At this point in the game, Georgia had put on an offensive drive that was beautiful to watch, getting repeated first downs before scoring a touchdown.
Honestly, it was the best they'd played all day!
Auburn's offense couldn't seem to get down the field, so they ended up kicking the ball back to Georgia.
Everyone else thought the Bulldogs would put on another show for us... but not me.
Sure enough, they fumbled the ball and the Tigers grabbed it!
The Tigers held onto it, too, as they jostled down the field, seeking to get within range of a field goal... and they did get within range... and they scored with that kick, placing them three points in the lead.
The Tigers won, 27 to 24, in a Bulldogs' home game in Sanford Stadium, on the Georgia State University campus in Athens, with thousands of red shirts in the stands.
I wonder what the football equivalent is of baseball's "the mighty Casey has struck out"?
