Wasn't the picks themselves, but the nature of the picks.

2 in the endzone (one for a touchdown), and one that set up a 30yd drive.

If you give each team the benefit of the doubt on those picks in opponents territory, the score is 35-14 NW.

But what about our drive killing penalties and interceptions? They don't count? What about missing tackles making a 1 yd gain a 60 yd TD? Trying to make excuses for the team won't help them any, when it has come down to it Auburn has made the plays when they had to.

Penalties have gone both ways...that's a push.

Tackling is part of the game, that's also a push.

Kodi's first INT was on a long gimmick play, can't call that one points for Auburn.

The second one, even if you give them the TD on that drive still only gives Auburn 21 points. If you think Auburn hasn't benefited from a terrible game by Kafka, you're only kidding yourself.

Better teams make fewer mistakes. I'm not making any excuses for them.

However, this thing's not over yet. If Auburn pulls a Wisconsin on the onside kick NWern has a shot. Hell, even if Auburn gets the ball back can they run out the clock effectively or do they possibly get NWern the ball back with time if they run their high-tempo offense.

XP blocked. :( Like I was saying, I don't know how you can call NWern the better team when they're down because of stuff like this. Blocked PAT, missed FG, INTs galore, about half of them clearly should have been thrown away. You can't even begin to say they deserved to win when they're doing stuff like that.
