Phony defenses unmasked

Written by: SI


University of Alabama and University of Georgia fans had their eyes opened as to how bad their defenses really are when both played home games against teams who have very high quality offenses.

The Crimson Turd played inspired for the first 20 minutes, then saw a vastly superior LSU team take charge and control the game in convincing fashion for the rest of the game. The score was not indicative of how LSU dominated the Turds during the last 40 minutes. No Tennessee luck-out this time.

The Bullfrog faithful had a very similar experience as Auburn, with the SEC's best offense, forced the bullfrogs into utilizing a trick offense based on throwing to the tight end and a no huddle game plan. Tricks usually work for a while, but not for the whole game. The Georgia coaching staff obviously knew that they were outmatched and with a week off, tried to change their offense to counter Auburn's superior defense. That failed and the Auburn offense had little trouble racking up 500 yards against Georgia's defensive imposter. No South Carolina luck-out this time.

Fans of both losers to Auburn and LSU once again this year are confused and groggy from the media leading both schools to think that they are of championship quality.

Next year the coaching staffs of both loser schools should remind their faithful early in the year to remember that Auburn and LSU await one or the other, so not to expect championship seasons. Alas, losers seldom like to subject themselves to reality.
