4th and 1

Sudeepvol · 10-12-2008, 01:22 AM

4th and 1 on our own 40 with 11 minutes to go down two possessions.

I think, with the new clock rules and such, we definately should have gone for it instead of punting it away. At that point in the game our defense was tired and we knew we were only going to get at most two possessions. Georgia used up 10 minutes on that drive to seal the game. Bad call by Fulmer.

Thoughts?

Not surprising. Fulmer has no concept of time in games. Against LSU in 2006 he could have called timeouts on LSU's last drive to give us time for a rebuttal. He chose not to do so, instead relying on our pathetic defense to get a stop even though it had been carved up all night. We all know how that turned out.

Does that suprise you?

To a certain extent, yes it does suprise me. This is a guy who is fighting for his job and it just seems like there is never a sense of urgency.

He's counting on the opposition making some incredible blunder to lose the game the way they did last year.

The only thing I can think of is fulmer did not think our offense could get 1 yard. Of course I guess it wouldnt have made things much worse if they didnt get it.

That's really what it seems like. If you think about every single coach in the SEC, each of them would go for it in that situation.

Its just like before GA kicked the final FG, fulmer let GA take a delay of game penalty. Just let the clock roooollllll Fulmer. Did he even think "hey, i might need to take a time out..." A change is way past needed.

No Message on this. I'm kind of an new old guy on here, some people know my history and where I come from. I've been anti fulmer since about 2003 and I don't want to add negativity to the board so I will try to contain it.

Talking about plans to get rid of a bad coach is not always a negative thing, " We just need to execute".

Thoughts? On our offensive line sucks. Plain and simple they're awful. They are laughable compared to the pre season press they were getting. They have nothing. Period. Tennessee is soft.

My theory is they haven't picked up the Clawson offense, I can't find any other reason they could be this bad.
