Here's what I think happened on the last O series...

1- The 3rd down play was good, but Gallman went out of bounds. The plan was to go on 4th down, assuming he stayed inbounds.
2- Regarding kicking a FG, earlier we had a missed XP and on another FG we had a high snap. And then everyone remembers what Auburn did to Bama a few years back with a blocked FG. So Dabo elects to go for it, keeping with the somewhat conservative play calling.
After saying that, I would've preferred to either kick the FG or throw it to Williams again in the end zone.

Williams call. An incompletion doesn't cost us anything because the clock stops on the turnover on forms anyway

Right. That call made sense. The run into the sideline

with 40 seconds left did not, or failing to reminding Gallman to stay in at all costs. Obviously no one did did so. And the roughing the passer on third and long, and the interception on 4th down on the 2 were mental busts. It seemed like we lost our poise or game awareness.
The lack of points and yards was surprising. On one hand I want to say that this is the best defense we will face this year, but on the other it was not as good as Bama's last year or FSU's this year. So something seems off. We seemed to spend the night throwing to the guy most covered. But maybe they were all covered, in spite of all the great receivers we are supposed to have. If it were not for Renfro's great catch, we lose, but we basically forgot about him.
There is no reason to doubt Watson at this point, given who he is and all he has done, but in other situations like this if the qb gets fixated on one receiver like he seems to be on Williams, the total output will diminish. We got a ton of yards without Williams last year, and to see Watson throw to him so many times when he was covered was surprising. Williams got his yards, but maybe at the expense of total yards. What, Scott and Cain forgot how to play?
But we won at Auburn. Will take it. The team that played tonight won't get to the playoffs, but fortunately that team doesn't have to play again. I hope.

Agreed with what you said. I think that we didn't expect the effort auburn put out even though the coaches said it would be a "dog fight". The offense was very vanilla and was surprising we didn't attack the perimeter more. We are not a power run team so why try to be one? Go back to last years offense....it clearly works!
