Fairley got flagged for roughing the passer on that play, which is exactly what he did. UGA took their shots at him. Their center repeatedly flopped down on him at the end of plays. On the play where Goggans got ejected their center and both guards flopped down on top of Fairley after the play. They got plenty of shots in on him. He got hurt in the first quarter, something with his right shoulder but they still couldn't block him, even with double teams. If your QB is getting hit as much as he did and Fairley only gets flagged for roughing once then the O-line needs to figure out how to block him. On plays where they did commit to blocking him it allowed the ends or other DT to get pressure on the QB. Nobody has been able to successfully block Fairley all year. That's no reason to say he needs to be taken out. Learn to block him and none of this is an issue.

They successfully contained Fairley on the 4th down play with about 5:45 left in the game but it allowed Eguae to get to the QB and force an early throw. Block the D-line and protect your QB. Most teams haven't been able to do that effectively and the result in your QB gets beat up and somebody steals his lunch money. Quit whining about it and go pick your QB up off the turf. That kid Murray still played a helluva game even getting hit as much as he did. He's gonna be special if Richt can get his act together over there.

On a separate note, there's no excuse for the Auburn players throwing punches. UGA definitely instigated it but Auburn should have just walked away and let the officials sort it out. As an Auburn fan I'm ashamed of that and I hope they have to run every step in that stadium everyday this week. That was embarrassing.

Since 1980 Auburn gas beaten Bame 16 of those years--thus 16 to 14.
In the last ten years Auburn has beaten Bama 7 times--thus 7 to 3.

Fictitious atmosphere at AU my A##--can't argue with facts!
Go eat another little debby cake and have a chew of Beechnut as poppa Sabin enjoys and it will be ok.

i find it rather funny that an auburn fan wants to get into a pissin match with a bama fan ab history.

out of all the schools i would not wanta try to put rank on ab history, pretty bama is that one.

jus saying.

I am pulling for Auburn to win out and bring another BCS to the SEC, however I think Fairley plays dirty and I don't like it. Every game I have watched he picks up the QB and slams him to the ground at least once.

I think he is an incredibly gifted lineman but so long as he keeps taking IMO illegal shots on players I hope he gets what's coming to him.

Go Boise State!!!!!!!!Hook em Frogs!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm pulling for SC in Atlanta because I want a team deserving in the NC game. If Auburn were to make it to the NC game, and then their entire season's accomplishments are vacated 2 years from now, it'll mean that somebody got pucked out of a chance in the NC.
