The trick play WR pass set the tone from the outset
Dec 1, 2013, 9:23 AM

that we needed trickery to win. When it failed, we puckered up and played tight... turnovers, penalties, etc.
The one thing we needed to do was establish that we could beat them straight-up, and that single play wiped that out.
As soon as I say that play start to develop, it was a bad decision.

there was no reason to pull out a trick play, we were driving it down their throats at that point. Score on that drive and the game's tone could have been a lot different.

was lined up on the same side as Adam. For the love of God, send Bryant down there to jump for what the coaches know was going to be a Sammy floater.

to stop Sammy. Much like they did with that wildcat pass...
Doing it that early says "we can't play straight up with you big boys."

even hate the fact that we tied the game at 17. That play works and it's probably a whole different ball game. But what do I know? Ya'll are the expert coaches in here.

Only after this play did they try to play straight up. After the tie, we were in great shape but then turnovers killed us.

after that play. Sure we tied them, but that play right there set the tone of what was to come (6 turnovers for those not paying attention). They should have just kept driving the way they were and not worry about the tricks.

We ran it vs BC and Sammy overthrew Humphries. Idk what happens in practice with it, but it's ineffective in the game, and we were driving. I think if we don't run that play we get at least a FG from that drive

I want to agree with you, and I didn't like the call either
Dec 1, 2013, 12:13 PM
|
|
but the simple fact is we've lost to them five times in a row now and we've lost about every way there is. Start hot, start slow, lots of turnovers, not as many turnovers, etc. etc. Can we get any hotter and more perfect of a start then C.J.'s kickoff return for a touchdown? Still ended up getting demolished....we have had no answer for that godforsaken Connor Shaw scramble. It is infuriating.

8 QB draws in a row I think...everybody in the country knew it but BV!!! No excuse for the coaches to not adjust...Shaw should have been hurt on any one of those carries!

The play was so slow developing you could easily see it was a Watkins designed throw. Once i saw Boyd throw it and Sammy wind up everything became slow mo with me slowly mouthing Nooooooo.
Usually i watch replays of the game but i would only watch this game up to that trick play. because for me that felt like the turning point most critical call of the game.

need to rethink our mental toughness or something. While that play call sucked, it had no bearing on our defense being marched down the field like the 20 play 9 minute death march it was.

That's a high school play , that don't work against a defence that can read .
No reason to run that , we were moving on the ground
I would not worry about Morris going anywhere , he makes mistakes too.

Chad don't have the knack of calling trick plays like Brad Scott could. He did it at Clemson and Carolina. Chad doesn't have near the success overall.

If it had been a TD everyone would be talking about the brilliant call the coaches made. BUT I was totally surprised that that play was called with us moving the ball at will.
