About coaching Not deciding this game..correct me if needed
Sep 22, 2014, 8:33 AM

Isn't Choice considered our "power" back ?
And wasn't he a QB in hs ?
2 things.... If he's the stronger RB, why was the track star RB in on the short yardage play at the end of the game when all we needed was basically a few kneel downs and a field goal ?
And why didn't we put Choice under center for 3 sneaks...and even if stopped then another extra point length field goal ?
Did Lakip have them shook up that bad ??
Seems like they forget the skill sets at times.
Breaking tendancies ??
Dang...we love a run over guard on 3/4 of our running plays - just not from the 1/2 yard line.....IDK

When does anyone ever put a RB under center?
Sep 22, 2014, 8:38 AM
|

Wildcat sure, but there's probably a reason you never see a RB under center - they probably aren't accustomed to handling snaps and fumble a lot.

a football play.
As it was , we didn't get the chance to make a football play.....numerous times.
Kind of like Bobo forgetting about Gurley was in his backfield a couple of weeks ago.....cutesy football calls.
Hammer the ball in from 1 ft.....some people never learn.

a TD to the TE early....and in position for a game winning FG at the end.
We were also in position to jumbo package Choice in from the 6" line after Seckingers TD was called back.
I think that was more critical than the fumble at the end of regulation.
It's over...we cant get it back....hope we don't repeat these situations again.

So, your saying: throw the players under the bus?
So who recruited those players and has been coaching them? That "other" CU that keeps beating you must have great coaches.

Or why not bring Stout back in...
Sep 22, 2014, 8:39 AM
|

if Watson isn't comfortable under center, then bring Stout back in. Dabo keeps spouting this crap about putting the players on the field that give us the best chance to win. In general I do believe that at QB Watson is that player, but in that particular situation maybe it was Stout.
There is plenty of blame to go around, from the head coach on down. I just wish they would learn from these mistakes and at this point I'm not so sure they will.

There was NO WAY Lakip was going back out there.

He was a total head case at that point which is why the decision was made to "go for it" on 4th down in overtime. Had the decision been made to kick it, Pinion would have attempted it IMO.
The kid is a redshirt Junior and he has to be more reliable than that.

Our Kicker would have made the winning FG and all would have been forgotten but they stripped us on our lard drive doing what great defenses do
Let's forget about Stoudt unless Watson gets hurt

How on earth is that situation a coaching error???
Sep 22, 2014, 9:11 AM
|
|
It was 2nd and 2, We handed the ball off and CJ picked up a first down. The play worked to it's intent. It would have moved the chains and prolonged burning the clock.
The error wasn't the play call or the player choice, the error was a fumble. CJ had been solid pretty much all game and you there's no way on earth you run a play you haven't practiced.
You also have to give Goldman the nod for getting his hand in there and stripping it.
There is no way our coaches should or would have knelt down and tried a FG. Lakip was not comfortable in the situation and it showed.
I think you can somewhat blame the coaches in some regards but to me, unfortunately, this game comes down individual mistakes made at inopportune times.

The game of the year, to date , ACC title game on the line..
Sep 22, 2014, 9:17 AM

Your powerback with 6-7 years of football experience or your walk on track guy....
Now, who you gonna put in there ?
And icing on the cake....IF you choose track guy - why not use his talent to the wide side of the field - instead of inside power run over left guard ?????
It's knowing your personel.
Not saying the FSU guy doesn't strip Choice as well....maybe he does....BUT maybe Choice (with his experience) knows to cover with both hands and fall forward.

You are forgetting your walk-on track guy is a REDSHIRT JUNIOR and your power back is a TRUE FRESHMAN... on the road with the game on the line... I take the Redshirt Junior who was proven himself too.
Again, no one knows what would happen if Choice was in but,
All this was execution, period. Not one of us on this board knows personnel better than the coaches.
This game doesn't chalk up to coaching, games in the past against SCAR in particular do with abandoning a running game that's netting 4-5 a carry. UGA more than likely does with the adjustments and conservative play calling. This game goes to down to a lot of poor execution in crucial moments.

During the fumble in OT, it seems like we were milking the clock instead of running the play. We are a fast team, not a delay team. Run the play! This extra ten seconds causes us penalties and fumbles.
