In a storm-delayed game that took place at the same time as the Saturday night primetime games, the reaction from our twitter friends was much less populous this week. Join me as I take you through the game in the eyes of others below.
It started out as a beautiful day to tailgate on a Saturday in the South

Once the game started, the Deacs were moving the ball quickly and making plays, only to be slowed by turnovers bouncing of the hands of our receivers
