[jkhonea]

Major thanks to Richt and Bobo. Bobo especially. Trust me, there are a lot of us that have thoroughly had it with him. This was some of his most boneheaded playcalling yet.

[Todd]

It didn't seem like it through most of the first half, but UGA over 26.5 points was a no brainer.... Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Dave1kRR]

I've never been so sick of his pussy ass decision making. :13 left in the 4th and he kneels on it to send it to OT???? What a ****ing moron. Oh and the 3rd down FG attempt in 1st OT? WTF?

[wallypiper]

Wouldn't that field goal have won the game? Pro teams do that all the time. All you need is a field goal to win. Do it on 3rd down in case there's a bad snap or a block. From the NCAA rule book:
"6. Team A attempts a field goal on first, second or third down, and the kick is blocked. Team A recovers the kick, which never crossed the neutral zone, and does not gain a first down. RULING: Team A’s ball, next down."
If the ball crosses the line of scrimmage and the defense touches it, it's a free ball and the kicking team can recover it. There's all kinds of reasons for trying a field goal on 3rd down if you think your kicker has it covered.

Well, it just depends on what possession it was. If UGA had the second possession, yes, that would have worked. Its not sudden death like in the NFL.

[cliff0529]

It was the second possession, they intercepted MSU on their possession so all they needed was a FG to win. The knee to go to OT could go either way, they said they needed 38 yards to put Blair in range, that's a long pass, and you know MSU would've been playing a prevent type defense. So why risk a long pass that could result in a pick 6, when you can go to OT and both get a shot at it. Both would've been good calls if Blair hadn't choked.

Either way, as a Tech fan...I was pleased with the result. :D

They had 2nd posession. The kick would of won the game.
The reasoning is very sound -- kick on 3rd, if you bobble a snap, your kicker trips, kick is blocked and you can recover, or something else goes wrong -- you have another down to try.
The kick was bad -- how is Richt to blame?

And not going for it at the end of the 4th? Percentages -- 0:13 to play? So you get one, maybe two pass attempts? Murray already has thrown 2 int, and had a fumble. Why chance it? This isn't playstation.

Turnovers are what killed the game -- they scored on 2/3 turnovers GA gave them.

[Gamecock]

Well, the Field Goal thing didn't work out too well for Stanford either!

[Dave1kRR]

I'd find it hard to believe any other SEC coach would've done the same. Sabin or Miles would use that time to win a ball game. Murray also threw an eighty yard completion for a TD early in the game. He had more comletions than INT's, so that reasoning doesn't really work for me. The chances for a 45 yard gain and a field goal at the end of regulation give you better chances to win than the OT format does. Bad snaps and holds haven't been UGA's downfall on fieldgoals this year either.

:lol: That game was insane... As was the Rose Bowl... I swear the left coast wouldn't know what Defense is if it slapped them in the face...

Not in their vocabulary. It all looks like Run 'n Shoot.
