There was reasoning behind that call that made sense. It takes serious balls to do that but The only reason Georgia had a chance at the end of the game was because of that 4th and 11 fake call. Amazing how many people don’t understand this.
I totally agree that was a stupid call. However, I don't think it's what cost them the game, that was the missed field goal.Totally disagree. There was what 5 or so mins left? Midfield and a 4th and 11? You fake a punt? Sorry but that was dumb beyond belief. 99% of college coaches punt right there and play defense. There was very little reward. Now if UGA were playing a different team, then the call would have been ok. But also, to not put the ball into the hands of Fromm? Beyond dumb.
The chances are much better that you could get a stop and force Bama to punt in their own territory. Giving it to them at midfield? Sorry, dumb.
I learned that if I had hernia mesh surgery than I could be entitled to a cash settlement if I call Fox & Farmer

I agree; the fake punt actually helped them because it left time on the clock. Throwing four and five yard passes on the final drive is what UGA fans should be pissed about.Wasn’t that dumb of a call. The defense wasn’t stopping Bama and Jalen. Giving them a short field preserved time and UGA’s timeouts. In essence, UGA did that surrending at minimum a FG and at most a TD. The only reason the offense had the ball last was because of that call.
Now I wouldn’t make that call but I understand the risk / reward of it and why they did it. Bigger issue is that they didn’t call it off after Bama lined up in Man.
