Two thoughts, Rod;

1) You might have too much free time on your hands (but I'm glad you do), and

2) the wearers of that white/garnet/garnet combo didn't lose many home games, period. If my memory serves, that combo is undefeated against Bama and a bunch of Big Ten schools too. It's kind of like what Holtz said when a reporter asked him about the difficulty of playing in Baton Rouge at night. He said something like "the problem with playing in Baton Rouge at night is that you usually have to play LSU when you get there." The difficulty of playing against those white/garnet/garnet uniforms is that you had to play against Alshon, Marcus, Connor, Bruce, Melvin, Jadeveon, JD, etc. Looking back on it, one of those teams in that era probably should have won an SEC title.
