Sunday Hangover: Auburn

Why does Alabama tend to have close games away at Auburn? I'm fatigued by the stress. 

The defense gave up some explosive plays, but at the start, if I remember correctly, they had three three-and-outs in a row. They played well for the most part, and Lawson led the team in tackles. 

I was disppointed in the pass rush later in the game because the Dline had been pressuring the quarterback early in the game. 

There was a surprising resurgence of the running game with Miller having one of his best performances of the season against a defense that is probably one of the top ten defenses against the run.  

What is curious is that Ryan Williams didn't play much at all. I don't whether he was limited because of injury or attitude or breaking team rules. 

Horton took advantage of all kinds of playing time with three touchdowns from Simpson. 

Next up is yet another meeting versus Georgia in the SEC Championship game.
